Thread: SDL 2.0 for Pascal

  1. #1

    SDL 2.0 for Pascal

    I'm writing Pascal-Headers for SDL 2.0, this is my repo:

    https://github.com/ev1313/Pascal-SDL-2-Headers/

    Actually I've translated:


    • "sdl.h",
    • "sdl_main.h",
    • "sdltype_s.h",
    • "sdl_stdinc.h",
    • "sdl_events.h",
    • "sdl_keyboard.h",
    • "sdl_keycode.h",
    • "sdl_scancode.h",
    • "sdl_mouse.h",
    • "sdl_video.h",
    • "sdl_pixels.h",
    • "sdl_surface.h",
    • "sdl_rwops.h",
    • "sdl_blendmode.h",
    • "sdl_rect.h",
    • "sdl_joystick.h",
    • "sdl_touch.h",
    • "sdl_gesture.h",
    • "sdl_error.h",
    • "sdl_version.h",
    • "sdl_render.h"


    I'll not translate the headerfiles:

    • "sdl_opengl.h",
    • "sdl_opengles.h"
    • "sdl_opengles2.h"

    Because you should use the dglopengl.pas from delphigl.com:

    http://wiki.delphigl.com/index.php/Archiv:dglOpenGL

    It supports all OpenGL Versions (1.0 to 4.4 30.07.2013) and is updated if there's a new Version.

    Will you implement statically linking in your headers? I think this is one of the most benefits of SDL2 over SDL1.2 ...

    EDIT: Maybe I do something wrong but I got this errors on Linux:
    fpc "sdl2.pas" -Sd (im Verzeichnis: /home/markus/Projekte/SDL2Pas/Pascal-SDL-2-Headers-master)Kompilierung fehlgeschlagen.

    Must I include X11?

    EDIT2: Yes, that helps:
    Code:
    {$IFDEF LINUX}    
      uses  X,xlib;
       {$ENDIF}

    thanks for this hint with linux, i fixed this. But everything else is working? would be good to know (since my linux vm was destroyed by a virus ;( ).

    Sorry, but i don't know how to implement statically linking. May you can help me?

    Hi, it's me again. I have one suggestion with SDL2_image:
    I had to change line 56 from
    Code:
       IMG_LibName = 'libSDL_image-2.so';
    to
    Code:
       IMG_LibName = 'libSDL_image.so';
    that it works on Linux. I don't know if that's an issue with (K)Ubuntu only. I also comiled SDL2 and SDL2_image from source maybe that's the crux of the matter.
    Anyway, thanks for your work with the Pascal SDL2 headers. I am now porting my Lua interpreter to SDL2 using your headers. When can we expect SDL2_net?

    Another thing to mention is that it's rather difficult to use SDL_GetKeyboardState with Pascal (since it needs an array). I looked into the old JEDI headers and they had a helper TYPE for that. I used it the same way:
    Code:
    type PKeyStateArr = ^TKeyStateArr;  
    TKeyStateArr = array[0..65000] of UInt8;
    My keyboard handling function now looks like that:
    Code:
    function keystate (key:integer):boolean;
    var state:pkeystatearr;
    begin
      SDL_Pumpevents();
      state:=pkeyStateArr(SDL_Getkeyboardstate(nil));
      if state[key]<>0 then
      begin
      Result:=True;
      end
      else
      Result:=False;
    end;
    If one checks a key one has to use the SDL scancodes.
    For example
    Code:
    if keystate (SDL_SCANCODE_RIGHT) then begin
            inc (x);
        end;
    Maybe that's also interesting for Jarrod ...

    @Cybermonkey
    Very cool. I will use your implementation, thanks.

    Sorry for annoying again, but I just noticed that SDL_hints.h is not ported, yet. Anyone still working on that headers?

    No one? So I did it myself ... Has anyone access to the github repository and can upload a file named "sdlhints.inc" ? This should be the content
    Code:
    type
    TSDL_Char = PChar;
    
    
    const
      SDL_HINT_FRAMEBUFFER_ACCELERATION = 'SDL_FRAMEBUFFER_ACCELERATION';
      SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER = 'SDL_RENDER_DRIVER';
      SDL_HINT_RENDER_OPENGL_SHADERS = 'SDL_RENDER_OPENGL_SHADERS';
      SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY = 'SDL_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY';
      SDL_HINT_RENDER_VSYNC = 'SDL_RENDER_VSYNC';
      SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_XVIDMODE = 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_XVIDMODE';
      SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_XINERAMA = 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_XINERAMA';
      SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR = 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR';
      SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD = 'SDL_GRAB_KEYBOARD';
      SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS = 'SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS';
      SDL_HINT_IDLE_TIMER_DISABLED = 'SDL_IOS_IDLE_TIMER_DISABLED';
      SDL_HINT_ORIENTATIONS = 'SDL_IOS_ORIENTATIONS';
      SDL_HINT_XINPUT_ENABLED = 'SDL_XINPUT_ENABLED';
      SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG = 'SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG';
      SDL_HINT_ALLOW_TOPMOST = 'SDL_ALLOW_TOPMOST';
    
    
      SDL_HINT_DEFAULT = 0;
      SDL_HINT_NORMAL = SDL_HINT_DEFAULT + 1;
      SDL_HINT_OVERRIDE = SDL_HINT_NORMAL + 1;
    
    
    function SDL_SetHintWithPriority(name, value: TSDL_Char; priority: Uint32): TSDL_Bool; cdecl; external SDL_LibName {$IFDEF DELPHI} {$IFDEF MACOS} name '_SDL_SetHintWithPriority' {$ENDIF} {$ENDIF};
    function SDL_SetHint(name, value: TSDL_Char): TSDL_Bool; cdecl; external SDL_LibName {$IFDEF DELPHI} {$IFDEF MACOS} name '_SDL_SetHint' {$ENDIF} {$ENDIF};
    function SDL_GetHint(name: TSDL_Char): TSDL_Char; cdecl; external SDL_LibName {$IFDEF DELPHI} {$IFDEF MACOS} name '_SDL_GetHint' {$ENDIF} {$ENDIF};
    procedure SDL_ClearHints; cdecl;external SDL_LibName {$IFDEF DELPHI} {$IFDEF MACOS} name '_SDL_ClearHints' {$ENDIF} {$ENDIF};
    You will have to include it in sdl2.pas.

    Hi,

    sorry for not answering, i'm working on it

    I'll add your changes to my repository.

    Thanks.

    Ah, thanks! I even registered at the DGL community and wanted to ask you there. Any chance of iOS/Android support soon?
