I have translated the c-header from the complete SDL - package for Pure Basic.
I added some small exmaples and a "translator" for the Lazy-Foo - SDL-Tutorials https://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/ (please read the readme!).

https://github.com/GPIforGit/SDL_For_PB/releases

Mac users must download and install the sdl-framework:

Code: Select all

download *.dmg from this files
		https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php#source
		https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
		https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
		https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
		https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_rtf/
		https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/
	open the *.dmg
	copy "sdl*.frameworks" to /Library/Frameworks/
	more infos for example here: https://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/01_hello_SDL/mac/index.php

Sorry, I don't have any experience with linux, but it should easy to add support for it. When somebody has done it, I will add this to the package.

Why SDL?
- Check mouse without problems, when in windows a desktop-scale is set other than 100%
- Switch between window, borderless window and fullscreen without reloading all the sprites.
- Playback of mp3, ogg etc. (I had the problem, that PB doesn't like my OGGs)
- Support for Joystick and Gamepad - including rumble. Simple connect a PS4, XBOX or Switch-Pro Controller and SDL will support it.

Hi GPI,

is the translation of the C headers with the new PB6 version still necessary ?
SDL is now at version 2.0.22, is it easier to include it in PB6 ?

From my perspective, the translation of the C headers is still necessary because compiling a large source code in Debug mode with the C backend take forever while the ASM backend ti is very fast. From my experience it's still better to not rely on inline C to import the C header.
Updating the translation of the C header will not take long at all anyway.
