SFML and OpenGL ES 2.0 context
« on: October 14, 2016, 03:09:22 am »
Hi, i'm doing a cross-platform game (should work on android), i'm using sf::shaders for some effects, but I can't use sf::shaders in android because sfml uses opengl ES 1.1(wich not supports shaders), I want to know if there is any way to use SFML with opengl ES 2.0 context, or if it's planned to update SFML's opengl ES to 2.0.
Thanks.

Laurent

No it is not possible, and yes we'll eventually switch to modern OpenGL on all supported platforms ;)

I'm sorry for digging out an old topic, but I need to ask if there are any news regarding the support for GLES 2.0?

Hello! Zero experience with SFML side of things. I’ve been scripting for an app that uses SFML (AttractMode). I ran into an interesting bug that did not occur running the app on my mac, but did on my raspberry pi 3b+ running raspbian stretch lite. It’s a bit unclear to me what OpenGL or GLES version is needed or used for each platform. However, @oomek is more experienced than I and seems to have narrowed my issue down to "glBlendFuncSeparate works only in GLES 2.0“.

I have seen this older thread, and am curious what direction sfml is heading with rendering.

Thank you.

I've just enabled OpenGL-ES 2.0 context based on raspberry pi support code.
I'm looking for co-existing OpenGL-ES and OpenGL-ES 2.0 on the same library.
Of course OpenGL-ES 2.0 is more flexible than OpenGL-ES 1.x these days.

Here is my github repository for it.

How does it relate to SFML? You just opened a window with SFML and created a context with imgui.
The flag SFML_OPENGL_ES2 you have defined does not even exist elsewhere.
