[Android x64 Support + SDL 2] SFML Game Engine for Web (HTML5), Mobile & PC

[IsDaouda]

Hi everyone, hope you are doing well!

You can now run SFML C++ games with the SDL 2 library, export your SFML games to Android 64-bit, use multiple game libraries at the same time, and easily send your C++ data to JavaScripts with version 3.3 of is::Engine.

Game Engine Link

Details of new features:
- The is::LibConnect function: Allows you to develop with several game libraries at the same time (SFML, SDL 2, SMK (Emscripten)) in one and the same project!

- Possibility to develop C++ SFML games with SDL 2 (Your SFML games will run on the SDL 2 library! Yes, yes it is possible!).

- Support for Android x64 architectures: Now you can export your C++ games to several Android architectures (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x64,…).
Which means that you can now publish your C++ games on Google Play! (Yeaaah !!!)

- The OpenURL function now allows you to open web links on many system: PC (Windows / Linux), Web (HTML 5), Android.

- A new function to manipulate dates

- Very practical data sending system for sending C++ data to javascript (Emscripten).

Example code to display C++ data in Javascript:

std::vector<std::string> vectorArray;
vectorArray.push_back("is::Engine is really great!");
vectorArray.push_back("With this tool everything is possible!");
vectorArray.push_back("I'm sure you'll love it!");

// The javascripts part
EM_ASM_ARGS({
    var vectorArray = new Module.VectorString($0);
    console.log(vectorArray.get(0));
    console.log(vectorArray.get(1));
    console.log(vectorArray.get(2));
    }, &vectorArray);
 

Output in the browser console:

is::Engine is really great!
With this tool everything is possible!
I'm sure you'll love it!

Have a good day!

Hi all,
I hope you are doing well and starting the new school year well!
is::Engine 3.3.4 is released! Now your texts and geometric figures will become more beautiful with these new features:

1. Now you can put texts and geometric forms (Rectangle, Circle) in Outline (Support of SFML functions setOutlineColor and setOutlineThickness) on Web and Android.
2. Use text styles (Underline, Bold, Italic, ...) on Web et Android.
3. Correction of bugs. (That was well hidden!)
4. Improved engine resource management (possibility of making your resources permanent and global).

Sample code :

class HelloScene : public is::GameDisplay
{
public:
    HelloScene(is::GameSystemExtended &gameSysExt):
        GameDisplay(gameSysExt, sf::Color::Black /* => scene color*/) {}

    void loadResources()
    {
        // Load font and texture of the engine
        // Allows to load system resource (very important never forgot to call him)
        // Also allows the scene to use permanent resources (loaded before this line)
        GameDisplay::loadParentResources();
       
        // We load a sound that will be global and permanent in all scenes (Throughout the engine)
        m_gameSysExt.GRMaddSound("is_engine_is_cool", is::GameConfig::SFX_DIR + "is_engine_is_cool.wav");
       
        // We load these textures (that will only be used in this scene)
        GRMaddTexture("sfml", is::GameConfig::SPRITES_DIR + "sfml.png");
        GRMaddTexture("sdl_2", is::GameConfig::SPRITES_DIR + "sdl_2.png");
       
        // We load this font (that will only be used in this scene)
        GRMaddFont("yeah", is::GameConfig::FONT_DIR + "yeah.ttf");
       
        // Allows the scene to use sound permanent resources ("is_engine_is_cool.wav" and others)
        GRMuseGameSystemSound();
       
        GRMdeleteFont("yeah"); // Manual font Removal
    }
};
 

Have a nice day !
