README does not document what the program does once built or how to run it, only build and install steps are given.
Coomer is a small C rewrite of a tool originally called boomer by a developer known as Tsoding. The original boomer was written in Nim, and according to the author of this rewrite, that original version had trouble building because of issues with Nim's package manager. This version ports the same idea to C instead. The README for this repository is quite sparse. It does not explain what boomer actually does, how coomer behaves once it is running, or what its command line options are. It only shows a short animated preview image and points readers who want more detail to the original Tsoding boomer project instead. The author also notes plainly that this build is tailored to their own personal setup and is fairly basic, rather than a polished, general purpose release. What can be said with confidence is limited to the build instructions themselves. To compile it, you need a working C compiler, specifically gcc, along with the OpenGL development libraries and the GLX development libraries, which handle graphics rendering. On a Debian based Linux system these can be installed with a single apt command. Building the project itself is just a matter of running make. Installing it system wide requires running make install with administrator privileges, which by default places the resulting program in /usr/local/bin, or you can install it to a custom location of your choosing by passing a different prefix path to the same command. Because the original boomer is described elsewhere as a screen magnifier tool, this rewrite likely serves a similar purpose, but that is an inference based on its lineage rather than something this README states outright.
A sparse, personal C rewrite of the Tsoding boomer project, likely a screen tool, documented only with build and install instructions.
Mainly C. The stack also includes C, OpenGL, Make.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
