API Reference

This section documents the public C++ API of the Glitter engine — the classes and functions you interact with when writing game code or extending the engine.

Internal implementation details (Vulkan passes, OpenGL draw executors, shader loaders, model parsers, etc.) are intentionally excluded; they are subject to change and are not part of the stable public surface.

How to read the tables

Each page follows the same structure:

Column	Meaning
