Allow user to specify contents of main.cpp manually.

Hello,

I'm trying to use run shaders with the ofShader object, which requires this call before ofSetupOpenGL(1024, 768, OF_WINDOW) in main():

ofSetCurrentRenderer(ofGLProgrammableRenderer::TYPE);

Is there any way to do this in ofSketch, that is, is there a way to modify what goes in main()? Running the line in setup() creates a second window. Thank you!

Excellent question. We're currently working on handlers so that you can just use the standard main.cpp / ofApp.h/cpp, etc. That will make it easier. In the mean time, you could modify Resources/Templates/CompilerTemplates/main.tmpl ... not ideal though.

Yes, this is not ideal at the moment. Additionally, you may need to make sure that ofSketch is closed when making an edit to main.cpp so that the changes you make are correctly loaded into the app.

Great, thanks for the response @bakercp and @brannondorsey!
