high,
ive recently got the desire to learn network programming. i would like to
use SDL_net because i use the other SDL libs for the rest of the game, and i
would like to use SDL_net for the network part. SDL has been good to me =).
anyway, its sad but i cant find much info on SDL_net. anyway, heres my
question:
should i buy a book on winsock programming, learn how to do it with winsock,
then use what ive learned and teach myself SDL_net ? or, should i search
the net far and wide and teach myself net programming strait away using
SDL_net? what do you think? thanks for any help!>From: sdl-request at libsdl.org

It says there are two versions of SDL for windows, one of which is safe,
the
other isn’t. My problem is there is only one version of the dll and
development

Message-ID: <c7l7e2$er4$1 at sea.gmane.org>Hi,
I’ve just started playing with SDL (in preparation for a final year
project for a Computer Science BSc) and it’s great. I made a quick app of
some floating objects, using SDL_FillRect to fill the screen with a color
at
the start of each loop, then drawing the rest on top, like this:SDL_FillRect(screen, NULL, 0xCCCCCC);
This works great in a window, but if I change the SDL_setVideoModecall
to make it fullscreen, it’s as if SDL_FillRect is totally ignored; the
background is black and the objects on top leave trails as the background
isn’t being rewritten. I’m using Windows XP and Visual C++ 6; I guess it
might be something to do with DirectX being used in fullscreen? Or maybe
something with the screen buffers pointing the wrong way. I don’t know
really, that’s why I’m askingThanks

Subject: [SDL] Beginner SDL+MINGW: Where is sdl-config?
To: sdl at libsdl.org
Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=“us-ascii”; format=flowedI am trying to install SDL under MinGW.
I have followed the instructions located
at the following website:http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/README.txt
Here are the six steps mentioned in the above “README.txt” file:
Step 1. Download the msys package, version 1.0.8 or newer, andinstall it.
Step 2. Download the latest stable version of the MinGW
package.
Step 3. Run the msys shell. Further instructions assume
you’re in this shell.
Step 3. Unpack the MinGW package in the /mingw directory.
Step 4. Move /mingw/bin/make.exe to
/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe as directed.
Step 5. Extract the SDL source into a directory and run:
./configure && make && make install
Step 6. When you’re ready to build SDL applications, copy
SDL.dll from
/usr/local/lib to whereever your SDL application
source resides.Here is the results of my attempt
to install SDL on top of MinGW:(Steps 1,2,3): I downloaded the following files from www.mingw.org
MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe -> Installed to c:/msys MSYS-1.0.9.exe -> Installed to c:/mingw(Step 4) I moved c:/mingw/bin/make.exe → c:/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe
(Step 5) I downloaded SDL-devel-1.2.7-mingw32.tar and unpacked it to
d:/sdl-lib/mingw
When I tried to run ./configure there was no such file. However
there was a “configure” file in the test subdirectory so
I ran that. Here is the output of configure:checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking target system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... .exe checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-asciiI’m looking to do one of the most simple operations: blitting a 24 bit
bitmap
with the color 255,0,255 defined as the SDL_SRCCOLORKEY.I’ve looked up examples online and I appear to be doing things the same way
as
others, except I notice people using 0,255,0 as their background color–
perhaps
there is a sort of inversing going on behind the scenes that I don’t know
about?Anyway the code is quite simple:
SDL_SetAlpha( ball, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB( screen->format, 255, 0,
255 ) );
and a
SDL_BlitSurface( ball, NULL, screen, &dst );
The screen is created with
SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 24, SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);I have tested two different bmps, one made in PSP and one made in MS Paint.
The
image blits but with the background color included.Here is an example online I found which happens to match what I am trying:

Message-ID: <40A26EC0.9050404 at fictiongroup.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowedHi,
After reading bob pendleton (bless his heart!)'s demonstrations on
SDL_Net2,
I’m curious whether it’s even worth my while to be learning how to do
SDL_net, seeing as it’s apparently not thread-safe.Depends on what level of “thread safety” you need. If you put all
networking in a single thread, it doesn’t matter if the library is
thread-safe. SDL_Net2’s big advantage, as I understood it, is wrapping
the networking in the SDL event system.Does anybody else have recommendations for simple game/network
programming
using using SDL, which you prefer? Even using directPlay in a windows
environment, I’d be open to alternatives.Well, I recently extended SDLnet to non-blocking TCP (Windows and *nix
only, so far), which makes networking in a single thread rather
painless. It’s not been thoroughly tested, but if you’re interested, I
could send you the code.On the other hand, I recently discovered the OpenTNL networking system, which seems very impressive. You may want to check it (http://www.opentnl.org). It should be scalable to small applications, and seems easy enough to work with, but the learning curve is terribly steep. I just don’t want to be programming halfway into my game and have to re-engineer using a different library because of a structure deficiency in the library. Well, you could put a generic wrapper layer around networking, and then you would only have to change the backend. Usually overkill, though

need X11.Stephane

I’m looking to do one of the most simple operations: blitting a 24 bit

way as
others, except I notice people using 0,255,0 as their background color–
perhaps
there is a sort of inversing going on behind the scenes that I don’t know
about?Anyway the code is quite simple:
SDL_SetAlpha( ball, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB( screen->format, 255, 0,
255 ) );
and aIf you want to do colorkeying, you should use SDL_SetColorKey and not
SDL_SetAlpha. SDL_SetAlpha is for semi-transparent surfaces.
See the SDL_SetColorKey manpage for that.Stephane

Looks like news.lokigames.com (the news ↔ ml gateway) hiccuped.
