SFML UDF - Simple and Fast Multimedia Library for AutoIT

[seangriffin]

Here's the beginnings of SFML (the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library) for AutoIT. 

This library provides a wealth of features for developing games and multimedia applications.  You can read up more about SFML here -> http://www.sfml-dev.org.  It uses OpenGL as the renderer for 2D graphics such as sprites, so it's performance is quite good.

Currently my interest is in 2D sprite engines, so my focus is on the sprite and window APIs.  This is the precursor to another separate UDF I'm working on and will release soon.  If there's any interest I'll flesh out more of this API for the community.

CSFML is the "C" binding / API for SFML, and it's this API that I'm building this UDF against.

REQUIREMENTS:

• AutoIt3 3.2 or higher

LIST OF FUNCTIONS (so far):

• _CSFML_Startup
• _CSFML_Shutdown
• _CSFML_sfClock_create
• _CSFML_sfClock_getElapsedTime
• _CSFML_sfClock_restart
• _CSFML_sfVector2f_Constructor
• _CSFML_sfVector2f_Update
• _CSFML_sfVector2f_Move
• _CSFML_sfColor_Constructor
• _CSFML_sfColor_fromRGB
• _CSFML_sfSizeEvent_Constructor
• _CSFML_sfEvent_Constructor
• _CSFML_sfVideoMode_Constructor
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_create
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_setVerticalSyncEnabled
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_isOpen
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_pollEvent
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_clear
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_drawText
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_drawSprite
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_display
• _CSFML_sfRenderWindow_close
• _CSFML_sfTexture_createFromFile
• _CSFML_sfSprite_create
• _CSFML_sfSprite_destroy
• _CSFML_sfSprite_setTexture
• _CSFML_sfSprite_setPosition
• _CSFML_sfSprite_setRotation
• _CSFML_sfSprite_rotate
• _CSFML_sfSprite_setOrigin
• _CSFML_sfFont_createFromFile
• _CSFML_sfText_create
• _CSFML_sfText_setString
• _CSFML_sfText_setFont
• _CSFML_sfText_setCharacterSize
• _CSFML_sfText_setFillColor

EXAMPLE:

Currently I only have one example, which is the "Short example" described in the CSFML API documentation, plus some extra features.  Essentially a window (GUI) allowing you to move a sprite around with the keyboard (including rotation).

DOWNLOAD:

You can download this UDF, including the example and associated files, from the following GitHub page:

Example tested on Win8.1

Move and rotate fine

You are right, it will be a big UDF when i see library's functions count !

Good work

Thanks

Nice to see you again on line

Good work.

Thanks mLipok.  I took a long break from posting in the forums due to some disagreements I had with moderators, after which I got super busy at work.  I still love AutoIT and am still a heavy user of it in my professional line of work.  But wish I had more time on my hands to develop more fun UDFs.  I have a couple of fun UDFs to publish though.  Stay tuned :-)

@seangriffin long time ago I asked you about GoogleAPI . Yesterday I   PM to you again this question .
Could you check if your messanger works correctly ? Maybe you have turned them off ?
