# screen_cast

A native Linux peer-to-peer screencast application.

- **Send** your desktop or a window to another Linux machine.
- **Receive** a stream and render it in a window.
- Built with **C++20**, **Meson**, **PipeWire**, **FFmpeg**, **RTP/UDP**, and
  **SDL**.

> This project is in early development. The H.264 codec path is implemented;
> capture, transport, and rendering are still in progress.

## Quick start

Requirements:

- C++20 compiler (GCC 12+, Clang 16+)
- Meson >= 0.63
- Ninja
- FFmpeg development packages (`libavcodec`, `libavutil`, `libswscale`)
- (later phases) PipeWire dev, SDL2/3 dev

Build and run tests:

```sh
meson setup build
meson compile -C build
meson test -C build --print-errorlogs
```

Run with verbose test output:

```sh
meson test -C build -v
```

## Architecture

See `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` for module boundaries and design rules.

## Roadmap

Development is split into phases in `docs/PHASES.md`.

Current phase: **Phase 3 — PipeWire screen capture**.
