Started to code a SDL2 wrapper :)

I started to code a wrapper (sort of) for SDL2

If someone wants to help me that would be great

How it looks so far:

No issues yet (i already can rotate/flip/transform/blend sprites~)

However im a bit worried about some datatypes like -> UInt32...

Oh good luck with that. I was trying somehow to code SDL wrapper but dropped it on 50% due to large size of library itself.
But well that was secondary reason, just except it I've realized that I can do what I need with built-in PB stuff.

You can code for those unsigned types few simple functions in C, and embed them directly into SDL lib/dll. There was even topic on forum where it's already done, just add and export it: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=66217
Also somewhere was ASM stuff to deal with those types directly in PB.

I wish it will work.
Hopefully, we will get rid of Pb's bugged sprite library that way...

Thx, those links are helpful im @15% so it could take a while... its a shame that we even have to work around datatypes...

I hope so...
There are pretty much no games (im not talking about card or board games) out there made with/in PB.
And its pretty obvious why...

Im not going to start a full rant...
however PB supports SDL... so pls at least give us direct access...

Maybe you can have a look on the SDL (v1.2.11) wrapper developed by Progi1984 found on http://www.purearea.net:

RWSDL
v0.1 (Wrapper)
17.07.2007
Progi1984
Wrapper für die v1.2.11 der 'SDL' (Simple DirectMedia Layer) DLL.

Still no news I guess?

Anyway, I tried Progi1984's wrapper and...

WOW 2007!
