Something I discovered earlier: if you're using #SDL for an #OpenGL application, you have to have your SDL_GL_SetAttribute calls before creating the _window_, not after creating the window but before creating the context.
Doing otherwise actually subtly breaks under Wayland (and I assume other EGL platforms as well) since it needs some attributes like bit depths to be present at window creation time as that's when the EGL surface is created.

(3/7) #SDL is a popular graphics library:
https://www.libsdl.org/
With addons like sdl3_ttf, sdl3_mixer, sdl3_image, sdl3_gfx, you can easily get text and graphics on screen or listen to music. Have SDL2 programs you want to keep enjoying? Check out the compatibility layer:

Long shot, but has anyone in my network ever done anything with the Nim programming language and SDL3? Any thoughts or impressions?

Crazy news: Ratatui made it into a car dashboard

**suzui-rs** — Suzuki Serial Data Line (SDL) viewer in Rust

Displays live car data, powered by Pi and shown on stereo over RCA.

Made for Suzuki Baleno (G13BB)

Written in Rust & built with @ratatui_rs

So... I decided to rebase the project codebase.

The results of my work you can see here https://gitlab.com/xolatgames/birdy-wants-crisps

So as you can see - the work on the project is in full swing

But while I "rebase" the source code of the project - it can't will be running!

there's a bug in the SDL3 package for fedora, it's missing a symlink (/lib64/libSDL3.so -> /usr/lib64/libSDL3.so.0) so compiling a program with -lSDL3 can't find the library. i can't be bothered to make an account and report it, maybe someone here can?

I've been having some thoughts about my game's windowing library. I use #glfw and am mostly happy with its API. But I'm not sure I wanna keep using it. I have weird stacking order and focus bugs on macOS, and window resizing is SUPER laggy on #GNOME #Wayland. Those are really the only two platforms I use.

I used to use #SDL to create windows. I moved to GLFW because SDL is overkill, but maybe I should go back.. if I can't find a way to make GLFW less broken that is #linux #gamedev #programming

Yeahyeah I understand this is a popular library, but …

Built a simple 2D solar system simulator in C++ with SDL3 — still very much a WIP, but happy with how it’s coming along!

I got a #gamedev #sdl question. Specifically for #SDL_gfx.

Does anybody know of a proper sample for the MMX image filters functions?

I know the tests exists, but these seem to only to affect small custom-made arrays.

But, I think that you should be definitely be applying these to surface pixel data, right?

I've been trying to make a sample in vala but keeps crashing. I plan to make it work in C to truly understand it. But wanted to ask if anybody knows about a sample before doing that.

Despite my body aching and being sleepy all over, I managed to work out a small #sdl3 #Vala bindings update.

I have now implemented the SDL3_gfx library! This is a special small library that implements:

* Some special primitive drawing routines, like circles, pies, beziers, etc.
* A simple framerate manager.
* Some algorithm filters (I still need to understand how these work to make proper samples).

But in any case there are samples for framerate and primitives. Enjoy!

Actualización: DOSBox AGA y RTG

DOSBox, el renombrado emulador de MS-DOS, se actualiza en su port para Amiga gracias al trabajo del desarrollador NovaCoder. Dos nuevas versiones, optimizadas para AGA y RTG, permiten a los usuarios disfrutar de la vasta librería de juegos y aplicaciones de PC directamente en sus sistemas.

La versión DOSBox AGA v0.74.013 está diseñada para Amigas equipadas con el chipset AGA y un procesador 68060 rápido. Requiere AHI (versión 4.18 recomendada) y ROMS 3.1. Ofrece un port SDL nativo para AGA, soporte MIDI y sonido AHI, así como modos de pantalla completa y ventana.

Por otro lado, DOSBox RTG v0.74.023 se dirige a Amigas con tarjetas gráficas RTG y un procesador 68040 (se recomienda un 68060). Al igual que la versión AGA, necesita AHI 4.18 y ROMS 3.1. Sus características incluyen un port SDL optimizado para RTG, soporte MIDI, sonido AHI y las opciones de visualización a pantalla completa o en ventana.

Released a major update today, adding #speedrun mode to my #indie game BubbleByte!

So I just moved the #SDL3 #vala vapis to @Codeberg migrating from Github was actually pretty easy!

https://codeberg.org/edwood-grant/sdl3-vapi

I also added a new GPU rotating colored cube example. So this makes the whole thing a bit more complete .

I will probably just make the github repo either a mirror or just leave a message on top pointing the the actual repo in codeberg.

I mean it makes sense to have this project outside of big tech. I feel that, at least for me, is important.

I was thinking of moving the #sdl3 #vala vapis onto ether sourcehut or codeberg...

I mean if the main objective is to really divest as much as possible from big tech, github must be one of those.

I was thinking to leave codeberg for public projects and pay of sourcehut for private repos. Makes sense in general.

I would probably leave a github mirror for the vapis for the sake of availability, but in the end just trying to divest as much as possible from US hosted tech.

FLOWBLADE 2.20 released. This powerful video editor now uses SDL2 video playback for Flatpak on all systems with MLT 7.30 or higher. But video playback for native Wayland without XWayland or for GTK4 does not currently seem possible with SDL.
