I've just ported a POWDER roguelike ( http://www.zincland.com/powder/ ) to Windows CE (PDAs, Windows Mobile/Pocket PC). To do that, I had to get libsdl working. Thanks for the awesome project files, it built without a hitch. Nevertheless, I've found quite a few bugs in Windows CE (GAPI) SDL implementation, which I've solved and now present as a serie of patches. I'll try carefully annotate them. Please annotate them so I can work toward accepting them into the main source tree since without them SDL isn't really working on Windows CE (I wonder why nobody fixed them before, btw: why isn't SDL popular as a way to develop Windows CE games? Where are no ports?) These changes can't be considered flawless, but they can be considered working because I've yet to hear complains about things I fixed and POWDER build for Windows CE is now considered stable. Note: my comments start with !!, delete them before applying. diff -bru SDL-1.2.13/src/video/gapi/SDL_gapivideo.c SDL-1.2.13-new/src/video/gapi/SDL_gapivideo.c --- SDL-1.2.13/src/video/gapi/SDL_gapivideo.c 2007-12-31 07:48:00.000000000 +0300 +++ SDL-1.2.13-new/src/video/gapi/SDL_gapivideo.c 2008-10-16 20:02:11.000000000 +0400 @@ -643,6 +643,7 @@ } gapi->userOrientation = SDL_ORIENTATION_UP; + gapi->systemOrientation = SDL_ORIENTATION_UP; video->flags = SDL_FULLSCREEN; /* Clear flags, GAPI supports fullscreen only */ /* GAPI or VGA? */ @@ -661,18 +662,21 @@ } /* detect user landscape mode */ - if( (width > height) && (GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) < GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN))) + if( (width > height) && (gapi->gxProperties.cxWidth < gapi->gxProperties.cyHeight)) gapi->userOrientation = SDL_ORIENTATION_RIGHT; + if(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) < GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)) + gapi->systemOrientation = SDL_ORIENTATION_RIGHT; + /* shall we apply hires fix? for example when we do not use hires resource */ gapi->hiresFix = 0; - if( gapi->userOrientation == SDL_ORIENTATION_RIGHT ) + if( gapi->systemOrientation == gapi->userOrientation ) { - if( (width > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)) || (height > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN))) + if( (width > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)) || (height > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN))) gapi->hiresFix = 1; } else - if( (width > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)) || (height > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN))) - if( !((width == GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)) && (height == GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)))) // user portrait, device landscape + if( (width > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)) || (height > GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN))) +// if( !((width == gapi->gxProperties.cyHeight) && (height == gapi->gxProperties.cxWidth))) // user portrait, device landscape gapi->hiresFix = 1; switch( gapi->userOrientation ) !!

That's the trickest part, hence the long comment. !! GAPI would really support only 320x240 or 640x480 mode, if application !! requested the different screen size (as POWDER did, wishing 256x192), then SDL !! is going to grab the first mode that fits the requested, and pad the screen !! with black bars (as they do with wide-screen films). !! It would also get, say, 240x320 mode, and to turn it into 256x192 it would !! need to rotate mouse clicks. !! It worked, but one bug slipped through: it would receive mouse clicks !! unpadded, then rotate them, and then pad the black bars. The problem is: rotate !! is done by GAPI driver while padding is done by SDL core. SDL core doesn't know !! anything about rotating, so it would pad one of dimensions incorrectly. I understand that some of my claims (or code) might seem unbacked, but you can always grab the POWDER binary, compile your own libsdl with one or more of those fixes turned off, and see how weird it would misbehave. I can even supply you with those custom builds of libsdl if you don't want to set up the build environment for windows ce, you'll just need a PDA or a smartphone with it. I plan to take care of SDL on Windows CE as long as I maintain the POWDER port. POWDER is good for that because it: Employs both padded (with centered image, black bars) and unpadded (image occupies full screen) graphics; initializes video more than once; uses both 320x240 and 640x480 video; uses both stylus and buttons. There's still a list of unresolved issues which I'm planning to fix: 1) Arrow buttons on PDA return weird scancodes compared to PC, this caused the game to misbehave before I've fixed that. You can see it on those diagrams: http://wrar.name/upload/powder-htc.png http://wrar.name/upload/powder-pda.png 2) SDL (or underlying windows) doesn't care to rotate arrow presses when we're in a low-res GAPI mode, but it will rotate them in VGA mode (because of different screen orientations, the same arrow buttons can suddently mean different directions). Solution: we should stick to GAPI user orientation (the orientation the program supposedly wants) and rotate the keys on our own. _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list SDL@lists.libsdl.org http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org
