Advanced Usage

If for some reason you want to make your binary as small as possible, you can include individual packages instead of the full minart bundle.

Minimal builds

The Minart project is divided in multiple small packages:

• minart-core: This package is always required.
• minart-backend: Contains the default implementations for each backend (AWT, HTML and SDL). While usually required, you can skip it if you plan to implement your own backend.
• minart-pure: Contains the RIO implementation for pure applications. You can skip it if you plan to just write impure code or bring your own IO implementation.
• minart-image: Contains logic to load and store images in PPM, BMP or QOI format. You can skip it if you don't plan to read or write any images.
• minart-sound: Contains logic to load and store sound files in WAV, AIFF or RTTTL format. You can skip it if you don't plan to read or write any sound files.
