So basically, how is non-western input handled in SDL or OpenGL games or applications? Googling for it reveals http://sdl-im.csie.net/ but that doesn't seem to be maintained or available anymore. Just to view the page I had to use the Google cache. To clarify, I'm not having any kind of issue in terms of the application displaying t...
I'm trying to use SDL in C++ with Visual Studio 2008 Express. The following program compiles but does not link: #include <SDL.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; } The link error is: LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined I get this regardless of how or if I link with SDL.lib and SDLmain.lib. Defin...
When you run the .exe, the SDL window appears, but so does a console window. How do I get just the SDL window by itself? What configuration option should I be changing? Is there one? I'm compiling with MinGW and using Eclipse Ganymede. ...
Why would SDL_Mixer not play music for certain mp3s? I am utilizing SDL_Mixer for music playback in an application I am creating. On certain songs (entire albums actually), the music will simply not play without returning any errors. The music data loads successfully using Mix_LoadMUS and when executing Mix_PlayMusic with that data, it ...
I am creating a C++ SDL game engine, and it is relevant to know the executable path since images and other resources are not stored within the executable - they are in a separated folder("res/"). Under Linux, I am using a shell script "rungame.sh" that cd's to the executable path and then runs the executable(using then "./" to reference...
I'm trying to set up something in SDL [in C++] where I can draw a one pixel big rectangle. I've got everything in my code working except my second SDL_Surface called rectangle. I'm having trouble initializing it. Here's the line where I try to initialize it: rectangle = SDL_Surface(SDL_DOUBLEBUF | SDL_HWACCEL | ...
I'm trying to get the x, y, and state of my mouse in SDL. I tried using the lines int mstate, mx, my = 0; mstate, mx, my = SDL_GetCursor().SDL_GetMouseState(); But it gives me the error C:[path]\particletest2\main.cpp|107|error: request for member SDL_GetMouseState' in SDL_GetCursor()', which is of non-class type `SDL_Cursor*'| ...
So I have this very simply SDL application I want to be able to pass to my friend without having him download a whole bunch of SDL packages. how can I go about this? I was told to use this line to compile: (note that I use ubuntu linux and so does my friend, and that this application compiles and runs without the "-Wl,-Bstatic" options...
I'm working on porting my open source particle engine test from SDL to SDL + OpenGL. I've managed to get it compiling, and running, but the screen stays black no matter what I do. main.cpp: #include "glengine.h" int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow ) { //Creat...
After reading a discussion on Ubuntu Forums concerning GLUT vs. FreeGLUT. Is GLUT dead for graphics programming? Is SDL all the rage now for OpenGL programming? ...
Is it possible to get a fully transparent window in Pygame (see the desktop through it)? I've found how to create a window without a frame, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to make it transparent. I'd be willing to tie into system-specific technology/frameworks as long as there are solutions for both Windows and Mac OS X, b...
hi everyone, am developing a small game (worms), and am using OCAML Sdl for that, actually i didn't find any documentation out there about it, so i have three questions: I want to use ocaml sdl under windows, so anyone can help how can I compile it, (I already gave up and installed linux on a virtual pc) Is there any documentation on h...
I'm trying to write a custom TGraphicControl descendant that will allow a user to embed a SDL rendering surface on a VCL form. This will provide a simple way to display SDL animations in a form. Apparently a TGraphicControl is redrawn with the Paint method. How often does this get called? Is it only when something happens to invalida...
I want to make a custom VCL control that wraps a SDL rendering surface via the SDL_CreateWindowFrom function. SDL_CreateWindowFrom takes an existing HWND handle and puts a high-performance rendering context (it has several backends available, including DirectX and OpenGL) onto it. The helpfile says "Do not refer to the Handle property ...
When using iostream in C++ on Linux, it displays the program output in the terminal, but in Windows, it just saves the output to a stdout.txt file. How can I, in Windows, make the output appear in the console? ...
I'm writing a threaded cross-platform application (Linux/Windows) using SDL and OpenGL, and to do networking I was considering SDL Net2 because it sits on top of SDL_Net. However, I've never done networking in C/C++ before, so I'm unfamiliar with any available cross-platform technologies. Is there anyone with experience with SDL_Net or ...
For a while I've been thinking of trying to do a port of one of my favorite classic PC games, The Ur-Quan Masters (aka Star Control 2) to the iPhone. UQM uses SDL for all its graphics, sound, input and other gamey stuff and there does seem to be a port of SDL to iPhone but it doesn't look very mature at this point. Has anyone put the iP...
I'm using SOIL in my project, and I need to take in a single texture, and than convert it into an array of textures using different parts of the first texture. (To use a sprite sheet). I'm using SDL and OpenGL by the way. ...
I have a C-code which I have not managed to run http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175564/problem-sdl.png The problem is in OpenGL or SDL. I do not have SDL.h at /usr/local/SDL/SDL.h, so gcc cannot find it. I have SDL.h installed by MacPorts at /opt/local/include/SDL/SDL.h. I tried to copy it to /Masi/local/SDL/SDL.h unsuccessfully at the fol...
Currently, SDL_Mixer has two types of sound resources: chunks and music. Apart from the API and supported formats limitations, are there any reasons not to load and play music as a SDL_Chunk and channel? (memory, speed, etc.) ...
