Ah, didn't see that. That should work, then.QuoteDoesn't that break the public API though? In which case, we won't be waiting for SFML 3.0 to break the API if OpenGL ES 1.1 is targeted...Not really, sf::Shader::isAvailable would just always return false and you'd get errors in standard err about not checking it before using sf::Shaders. The latter is actually in place already.// First make sure that we can use shaders
if (!isAvailable())
{
err() << "Failed to create a shader: your system doesn't support shaders "
<< "(you should test Shader::isAvailable() before trying to use the Shader class)" << std::endl;
return false;
}
I know, maybe I should've worded it better. Were you expecting programs using your port to be written in native code and use a NativeActivity, or in Java (and calling SFML through JNI)?QuoteAre you using a NativeActivity? Or are you using JNI?NativeActivity is a C interface provided by Android to deal with Android activities.
JNI is a C interface to communicate with Java apps in C code.
Sure, I can work there. I'll watch your github project and wait for a bit.QuoteIs there anything I can do that would help you in your work as well?Well, I would actually appreciate your help. I need to rebase the project on the latest SFML commit, then write a page on how to compile and use. After, you could start porting the network module ?
Not to waste your time, I'd prefer you to wait until these two tasks are done and I explain you how it works (Android native apps have a special workflow as they communicate with java apps).I've used the NDK before and have written a small native app (using a NativeActivity), but sure, more info is always welcome. I'm not sure what your opinion is on this, but I don't think SFML for Android should worry about communicating with Java apps. SFML for Android should, in my opinion, focus solely on native code and native apps (using NativeActivity). Java based Android apps can use JSFML to make the JNI calls to the native backend. I'm not sure what your thoughts are on that though...
Easy there, tiger. I didn't necessarily mean I'm starting my own port. My "new project" could very well be "your project."Cool, so... every man for himself ?Sweet, looks like I've got a new project.QuoteWhat can I do to help get Android supported?Write the Android port
Cool. Here's a new version with the same relative sizing and positioning as what's on the website. I also used Scour to optimize the SVG and remove unused elements.QuoteIt just looks like the size/positioning were slightly modified (which looks good, btw), and I wasn't sure if you did that with the PNG or SVG version, and if you want me to I can modify the SVG version to have the same size/positioning.Ah, you're right. I had to slightly adjust the relative position of the image and text to fit the website. If you can adjust the source SVG, that would be perfect.
Doesn't that break the public API though? In which case, we won't be waiting for SFML 3.0 to break the API if OpenGL ES 1.1 is targeted...QuoteAnd unless I'm misreading something, OpenGL ES 1.1 doesn't support shaders, which makes me wonder what the Shader class will be doing...Hum... never thought about it. If there's no way to have shaders with OpenGL ES 1.1, the first version of the iOS port will not have sf::Shader.
And later when you go to OpenGL ES 2.0, you need to reintroduce sf::Shader, and only shaders are allowed..AgreeIf you ever aim to support both versions it will be a little weird.
I mean free formats. Which is the maximum that a free library can support.It's not obvious though. FFmpeg is a free library and supports decoding MP3/H.264/tons of other non-free codecs. So it's not obvious SFML doesn't support MP3. Also, does SFML support PPM? I don't know. But I'd like to, seeing as I have some PPM images that I generate. So I'm not even sure what free formats the library supports.
I know, you'll reply that it may not be obvious to everyone
But it's also a really non-obvious place to look for features. If I wanted to know SFML's features, I would certainly not think of looking at the tutorials. And even if I did, I'd still prefer a more succinct yet detailed list.QuoteOne would get a detailed overview of the library's capabilities, without skimming through the whole documentation. As mentioned, it is a good starting point to decide whether SFML is suitable for a project.I really think that the tutorials index is a good summary of the important features. I couldn't do better if I created a features page.
Sweet, looks like I've got a new project.QuoteWhat can I do to help get Android supported?Write the Android port
Because I much prefer the programmable pipeline over the fixed function pipeline. And unless I'm misreading something, OpenGL ES 1.1 doesn't support shaders, which makes me wonder what the Shader class will be doing...QuoteOpenGL ES 2.0 would be awesomeWhy?
Alright, I'll play with the subtext. It just looks like the size/positioning were slightly modified (which looks good, btw), and I wasn't sure if you did that with the PNG or SVG version, and if you want me to I can modify the SVG version to have the same size/positioning.Quote@Laurent: if there are any modifications or tweakings you'd like, let me know! I'm all done with school now so I have plenty of time!I think the logo is perfect now. There's just the "Simple and Fast Multimedia Library" text that you can try to integrate.
What about creating a new page on sfml website where could people download sfml logo/splash screen logos for their games?FYI, I uploaded it to Wikipedia and put it on the SFML page. But yeah, it's not a bad idea to put it on the website.
Sorry if I missed it, is a Photoshop project file available for the logo?I posted a large PNG version and the actual SVG. It was made in Inkscape. It looks like Laurent tweaked the sizings of things a little.
The Soft Geometry Pro just looks awful in small lettersAgreed
Unfortunately I don't have time today to play with other variants (or positions). I will have plenty of time tomorrow though.I think the font I used here would be nice:That looks nice. What font is it?
