vsdl2

SDL2 V module -- libSDL2 wrapper

IMPORTANT vsdl2 has been integrated in V vlib/sdl here. Not sure what will become of this legacy SDL PoC..

In fact, the sdl component of upstrean vlang seems to have moved there and be pretty much out of date. Thus, I'll continue maintaining my initial SDL2 work here, as time permits..

Current APIs available/tested in examples :

• basic graphics (2D drawing)
• Image
• TTF font (text rendering)
• input handling (keyboard/joystick events)
• sounds (WAV mixing)
• music (MOD mixing)
• more to come.. (networking ?)

Support

vsdl2 is supported on :

• linux (major distros)
• MacOS (brew)
• windows (msys2/mingw64 only for now)

Installation

v install nsauzede.vsdl2

Examples

tVintris

Once you have installed nsauzede.vsdl2 (see above), you can run the example yourself like this : On linux:
