te: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 11:25:26 -0700 From: "Jim" Subject: [SDL] Frame buffer patches... Would seem that GCC 3.2.2 promotes all signed values to unsigned if any single vlaue is unsigned in an expression... for instance when calculating an elo touch position....evertyhign is an (int) except for cach_vinfo.xres which is unsigned. THerefore if y ou reverse the SDL_ELO_MIN_X and SDL_ELO_MAX_X values the resulging negative value pegs the expression to it's max. Attached it the accumu lated patch to typecast the unsigned values to (int) - *dx = (cache_vinfo.xres - (cache_vinfo.xres * (input_x - ELO_MIN_X)) / width); + *dx = ((int)cache_vinfo.xres - ((int)cache_vinfo.xres * (input_x - ELO_MIN_X)) / width); and also to provide quite failure to operations which have the screen currently locked... The touch screen I'm using the original values were exactly opposite of any position I touched on the screen - evaluating the math the expr ession SHOULD have handled reversing the min and max values - and after casting the unsigned .xres and .yres to a signed int - worked well. ..

><P
>The SDL library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, *BSD, MacOS, Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. SDL is a fairly low level API, but using it, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P
