3. Who am I?

4. SDL
Gradle
CMake
Nuget

5. tiobe.com - programming lang. index

6. Let’s start with something
cool

7. The Battle for Wesnoth

9. Multiplatform
SDL officially supports
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.

10. SDL versions
1.2 stable - rock solid
2.x development - new features

11. Some basic concepts

12. SDL_init(flags)
SDL_INIT_TIMER - The timer subsystem
SDL_INIT_AUDIO - The audio subsystem
SDL_INIT_VIDEO - The video subsystem
SDL_INIT_CDROM - The cdrom subsystem
SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK - The joystick subsystem
SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING - All of the above
SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE - Prevents SDL from catching fatal signals
SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD - Runs the event manager in a separate thread

13. Quit application
SDL_quit()

14. Window
SDL_CreateWindow("Hello World!", 100, 100,
640, 480, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

15. Load bitmap
SDL_Surface *bmp = NULL;
bmp = SDL_LoadBMP("./smajlik.bmp");

16. Visual data
SDL_Renderer
SDL_Texture

17. Keyboard
SDL_PollEvent(SDL_Event *event)
event.key.keysym.sym

18. Timer
SDL_TimerID SDL_AddTimer(
Uint32 interval,
SDL_TimerCallback callback,
void* param)

19. Mouse
SDL_GetMouseState(*x, *y);

20. Text
Not implemented

21. Extensions
extension for many languages:
C++, Java, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby

22. Made with SDL

23. Autiomation Evolved

24. Domain Specific Language

27. Plugin system
● focussed functionality is added by plugins
● reuse patterns and practices
● avoiding boilerplate build code
