SdlBase

A minimum dependency experimental CLion project for larger game and graphics projects.

This will be a port from a bunch of other projects. Don't expect anything useful for quite a while.

This should be pretty plain C code.

The plan

• Bring in the container structures and SDL hook-ups from MECS, but not the compiler / runtime engine.
• Add joystick stuff (supporting multiple)
• frame-delay guessing to reduce latency (need to change buffering strategy)
• Bitmap drawing for the scan buffer thing (rectilinear, then affine)
  • texture atlas drawing
    • fix uncovering issue
    • allow materials to have offsets & offset mode (screen, edge)
    • edit material (change Z, change offset)
  • PNG loading (PicoPNG? SDL?)
  • some tool to pack sprites down to minimal size
  • some format to save/load texture atlas material defs.
  • sprite splat
• Easy way to mix plain graphics and the scan-buffer/depth graphics
• Port the graphics format and compression bits in ImageTools from C#
• Port StreamDb over as a file format

Using the base for projects

Your application-specific code should go in src/app. Start with the event handlers and frame routines in src/app/app_start.c
