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.

* Porting To A New Platform The first thing you have to do when porting to a new platform, is look at include/SDL_platform.h and create an entry there for your operating system. The standard format is __PLATFORM__, where PLATFORM is the name of the OS. Ideally SDL_platform.h will be able to auto-detect the system it's building on based on C preprocessor symbols. There are two basic ways of building SDL at the moment: 1. The "UNIX" way: ./configure; make; make install If you have a GNUish system, then you might try this. Edit configure.in, take a look at the large section labelled: "Set up the configuration based on the target platform!" Add a section for your platform, and then re-run autogen.sh and build! 2. Using an IDE: If you're using an IDE or other non-configure build system, you'll probably want to create a custom SDL_config.h for your platform. Edit SDL_config.h, add a section for your platform, and create a custom SDL_config_{platform}.h, based on SDL_config.h.minimal and SDL_config.h.in Add the top level include directory to the header search path, and then add the following sources to the project: src/*.c src/audio/*.c src/cdrom/*.c src/cpuinfo/*.c src/events/*.c src/file/*.c src/joystick/*.c src/stdlib/*.c src/thread/*.c src/timer/*.c src/video/*.c src/audio/disk/*.c src/audio/dummy/*.c src/video/dummy/*.c src/joystick/dummy/*.c src/cdrom/dummy/*.c src/thread/generic/*.c src/timer/dummy/*.c src/loadso/dummy/*.c Once you have a working library without any drivers, you can go back to each of the major subsystems and start implementing drivers for your platform. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on the SDL mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy! Sam Lantinga (slouken@libsdl.org)
