Odin Steamworks

Odin bindings for Valve's Steamworks API. Includes a binding generator.

The Steamworks API allows your game to take full advantage of Steam by accessing all of the underlying systems provided through the API. This includes things such as pausing your game when the user opens the Steam Overlay, inviting friends to play, allowing players to unlock Steam Achievements, letting players compete on the Steam Leaderboards and much more.

the Steamworks API also includes the Steam GameNetworkingSockets

Current Steamworks SDK version: 1.60

Latest tested Odin version: dev-2024-09:c6b551d2c

How to Use

1. Copy the steamworks folder into your project
2. Put steam_api64.dll next to your exe
3. Create a steam_appid.txt with your steam app ID. Use 480 for testing purposes

Take a look at the example to see the API usage.

Example

• put steam_api64.dll to the example folder (Windows)
• cd example
• odin run .

About the generator

The generator was used initially to make the bindings, and those are manually updated based on the changelog. So the generator is no longer needed, but it's here just for reference.

It uses the steamworks_api.json to generate a single source file. Build the generator with odin build commands.

Note: The naming is slightly different than in the C/C++ API. For instance, things aren't prefixed with Steam, m_, k_, etc. Also _t suffixes for structs aren't used.
