Subject: SDL: video/quartz cleanup
while doing some experimental changes in the quartz code, I was annoyed
by having to recompile that one big .o file over and over again. So I
decided to finally realize one TODO: properly splitting the code over
multiple files :-).
With two exceptions, I didn't make code changes, only rearranged files
and added new headers. Since there are several new files, making a
patch didn't work out so well, so I decided to just send you all the
new & modified files.
The one source change I made is related to showing/hiding the mouse. I
renamed cursor_visible to cursor_should_be_visible and cursor_hidden to
cursor_visible; I think that makes reading the code easier.
Then I added two new functions: QZ_ShowMouse and QZ_HideMouse. They
help manage cursor_visible (the former 'cursor_hidden'). Finally I
replaced the Carbon ShowCursor/HiderCuror calls by [NSCursor hide] and
[NSCursor unhide]. The API docs are not conclusive, but it might be
that with those the "cursor_visible" (former 'cursor_hidden') hack may
not be necessary anymore; however so far I didn't test this hypothesis,
so I left that in.
The other change was to remove in_foreground and use [NSApp isActive]
instead: Manually keeping track of whether we are in the foreground is
error prone. This should work better in some corner cases.

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with EPOC/SymbianOS 6.0 ============================================================================== ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: You can get Symbian SDK from: http://www.symbian.com. First create "Epoc" directory under SDL main directory and unpack EpocBuildFiles.zip in it. To build the librarys goto "epoc" directory and type: bldmake bldfiles abld makefile vc6 (for creating Microsoft Visual C++ makefiles) abld build wins udeb (building for wins emulator) abld build armi urel (building for real device) ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer programs: Building SDL test programs is easy once you have built the libraries: abld test build wins udeb abld test build armi urel Supported real screen resolutions 320 x 200 x 8 bit 320 x 200 x 12 bit 640 x 200 x 8 bit 640 x 200 x 12 bit Supported "emulated" screen resolutions 640 x 400 x 8 bit 640 x 400 x 12 bit 640 x 480 x 8 bit 640 x 480 x 12 bit "Emulated" resolutions are implemented by by shrinking the screen vertically i.e. only every second scanline is drawn. This is mainly ment to be used for testing quick ports of programs. Using faked resolutions is a waste of memory and cpu power! ============================================================================== III. Running test programs Copy executable to the device and run it from the File manager. The Esc key quits demo programs. In Crystal, Exe programs do not appear in task list nor in Extras :-(. Test programs are tested in Nokia 9210 Communicator. Special keys used in SDL: The Caps lock key enables or disables the virtual cursor. Function keys are mapped as follows: F1=chr+q, F2=chr+w,..., F8=chr+i, F9=chr+a,..., F12=chr+d. ============================================================================== IV. Enjoy! :) If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl You can find more info about Epoc version of SDL from Hannu Viitala's homepage http://www.mbnet.fi/~haviital ==============================================================================
