Joe 2009-11-23 21:31:10 PST If type is ::SDL_HAPTIC_CARTESIAN, direction is encoded by three positions 367 * (X axis, Y axis and Z axis (with 3 axes)). ::SDL_HAPTIC_CARTESIAN uses 368 * the first three \c dir parameters. The cardinal directions would be: 369 * - North: 0,-1, 0 370 * - East: -1, 0, 0 371 * - South: 0, 1, 0 372 * - West: 1, 0, 0 typedef struct SDL_HapticDirection { Uint8 type; /**< The type of encoding. */ Uint16 dir[3]; /**< The encoded direction. */ } SDL_HapticDirection; An unsigned int can't store negative values and I don't see an alternate way to encode them in the docs or source. The best I have been able to come up with is using a negative magnitude for the effect but this will only get me 2 of the 4 quadrants in the plane for 2d effects. I looked at the win32 and linux implementations and I believe is is safe to use signed ints in the direction struct. I am unfamiliar with the darwin haptics API so I don't know if it is safe.

SDL on Sony Playstation3
------------------------

Installation:
  First, you have to install the Cell SDK
  - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
    a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
  - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
  - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
  - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

  You'll than need to install the SPU-libs
  - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install

  Finally, install SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
  e.g.
    - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
    - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
    - Build and install it: make && make install


Todo:
  - Mouse & Keyboard support
  - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are:
    - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that)
    - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format
    - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice)
  - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side
  - Integrate spumedia in SDL

Have fun!
