Cloud Streaming Args Debugger

This is a Windows application designed for debugging command-line arguments in cloud streaming environments. It displays arguments in a full-screen window with a rotating 3D cube and a QR code that updates with the current timestamp, FPS, and the arguments passed. Perfect for troubleshooting cloud gaming and streaming application launches.

What It Does

• Displays Command-Line Arguments: Shows any arguments you pass to the program.
• 3D Cube Animation: Renders a rotating cube using Direct3D 11.
• QR Code: Generates and displays a QR code with the current UNIX time, FPS, and your arguments (updates every 5 seconds).
• Keyboard Input: Type into the window and if you type exit (or press Escape), the app will close.

How to Build

1. Requirements:

   • Visual Studio 2022: Install the "Desktop development with C++" and "Universal Windows Platform development" workloads.
   • Windows SDK: Latest version is recommended.
   • DirectX: Use either the DirectX SDK (June 2010) or a modern Windows SDK.
   • QrCodeGen Library: Download qrcodegen.hpp and qrcodegen.cpp from QrCodeGen by Nayuki and place them in the same folder as the source file.
   • vcpkg (for tests): Optional, needed to install GoogleTest for running unit tests.

2. Setup:

   • Create a new C++ project in Visual Studio.
   • Add cli_args_debugger.cpp, qrcodegen.hpp, and qrcodegen.cpp to your project. (Note: The main source file retains its original name for compatibility)
   • Build the project (the code uses pragma directives to link the required DirectX libraries).

3. Command Line Build:

   Using MSBuild/Visual Studio:

   # Create build directory
   mkdir build
   
   # Compile with MSVC
   cl /EHsc /std:c++20 /permissive- /I. /DUNICODE /D_UNICODE ^
      cli_args_debugger.cpp seh_wrapper.cpp qrcodegen.cpp ^
      /Fe:build/ArgumentDebugger.exe ^
      /Fo:build/ ^
      /link d3d11.lib d3dcompiler.lib d2d1.lib dwrite.lib ole32.lib avrt.lib user32.lib shell32.lib gdi32.lib propsys.lib

4. Build with CMake:

   # Configure the build
   cmake -B build -S .
   
   # Build the project
   cmake --build build --config Release

5. Build and Run Tests:

   Using CMake with vcpkg:

   # Install GoogleTest via vcpkg
   vcpkg install gtest
   
   # Configure with vcpkg toolchain
   cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path_to_vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
   
   # Build
   cmake --build build --config Release
   
   # Run tests
   cd build
   ctest -C Release -V

How to Run

• Run the compiled executable from a command prompt with any arguments you want:

  cloud-streaming-args-debugger.exe arg1 arg2 "another argument"

• Commands in the application:

  • Type exit or press Escape to quit
  • Type save to save timestamp and FPS data
  • Type read to load previously saved data
  • The audio level meter on the right shows microphone input
