iOS Support

[Andru]

So, mainLoop is done(with quite crazy code because of iOS architecture >_<). Window now can be fullscreen and timers are working. But seems I will rewrite timers, because there are some problems with UNIX functions on iOS. GetTimeOfDay seems to work fine, but FpStat for checking if file/directory exists - is not... Another problem - there is no full documentation for Objective-Pascal with some comparisons with Objective-C constructions, and this makes hard to understand Cocoa API with only Objective-C examples in official documentation and internet.

Starting to read about EAGLContext under iOS

update: About documentation I was a bit wrong - here the comparison

Not exactly sure what this means, but I hoped to develop for iOS later down the track and if I can use the language I already am, that would be awesome!!!

ZenGL API will be always Pascal-compatible, Objective-Pascal is used only inside zgl_ios_* units, which are provides system part

EAGLContext now is initializes and CEAGLLayer creates, so next step will be correct using presentRenderbuffer with GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES for rendering something

PS: Apple... as always they want to be different and develop their own bicycles like EAGLContext and CEAGLLayer instead of using concept of EGL, which is used on other platforms

YEAH!


There are only red quad and white background because of glClearColor(always yours, Captain Obvious ). And this is not a first april joke Next step is loading resources and some cleaning of code(current realization is little bit draft).

[Andru]

So, here are I'm now I've built some static libraries for resources(zlib, libogg, and libvorbis) and now ZenGL can this:

I think next few days(or maybe week) I will work on all other system stuff like "touch"-input, rotating device and so on.
