SDL Development

I have an example of my OO style on the gameprogrammer wiki at:

http://gameprogrammer.com/gpwiki/Audio_lib

Feel free to critique. I am always open to learning new things,
although this discussion more properly belongs on the gameprogrammer
mailing list.

I looked into it.

  • Don’t use external include guards. They don’t speed things up in modern
    compilers, as gcc.
  • Include audio_lib.h as the first thing in audio_lib.c, to test that the
    header is self contained.

(This is a true statement, but more importantly, please don’t count on
__SDL_H to be reliably defined when you include SDL.h! I don’t believe
we document that #define anywhere, and if a good reason ever comes up,
we reserve the right to change it without warning, or use "#pragma once"
instead on a given compiler or whatnot.)

Hi, Ryan!
How about “recent” versions of SMPEG (and SMPEG2)? Is someone still
working on them? Is SMPEG2 already usable?
Goodbye!

PS.: it’s real hard to find a free/multiplatform/easy-to-use MPEG2
video decoder (ok, there is FFMPEG library, but boy, I don’t need all
those features, and by the provided example, how hard is to implement
something with it)_______________________________________________________

smpeg2 was an experiment, and isn’t something you should use (it doesn’t
implement MPEG-2 decoding, if that’s what you wanted).

I have a few patches I need to apply to the normal smpeg, but it’s
really due for an official release.

No one’s seriously working on it, but occasionally someone sends in a patch.
