Mixed Downloads
Looking for those SDL programming examples?
They got bored and ran off that way.
(Well, not really. The downloads haven't moved.)
- NEW!
glSDL-0.8.tar.gz - 177k
glSDL is an implementation of the SDL API on top of OpenGL. This version is a proof-of-concept
hack, and is implemented as a "wrapper" around SDL. glSDL is best used with SDL 1.2.5 or later.
glSDL 0.8 fixes a few bugs that caused application crashes under some circumstances, so upgrading
is highly recommended for any projects still using older versions of glSDL.
For those wanting more than plain SDL 2D, but not willing to implement native OpenGL support,
glSDL now has some easy to use API extensions that allow scaling, rotation, color multiplication
and slightly extended alpha blending when using OpenGL. Demo/test program included.
NOTE:
glSDL is no longer actively developed. There is a glSDL backend patch for SDL, but it doesn't
seem like this is going into SDL. The upcoming SDL 1.3/2.0 has a similar but unrelated solution
that also supports Direct3D, so there should be no need for glSDL once SDL 2.0 is released.

DT-42-0.1.0.tar.gz - 394k
DT-42 DrumToy was intended as an example of interactive audio and graphics programming using
SDL, but the project went rogue and turned into a "usable" drum machine. Not exactly a
minimal technique example, but for someone working on some sort of music editor, the
source might be of some interest, as DT-42 is probably as simple as it gets with all
the basic vital stuff still in place.
The package contains the source code, graphics, sounds, some example songs and
precompiled executables for Windows, Mac OS X/PPC, Linux/x86 and Linux/AMD64.
-
pig-1.0.tar.gz - 660k
Fixed Rate Pig was intended as an SDL programming example, to demonstrate the use of a fixed
virtual logic frame rate together with interpolation, also known as "tweening". However, it
turned into a (sort of) playable platform game, so it's more of a how-it-all-fits-together
example. (No sound, though. Maybe later... Have a look at simplemixer
or DT-42 DrumToy for examples of basic low level audio with SDL.)
Apart from fixed rate game logic, this game also demonstrates sprite animation and
partial/smart display updating techniques, suitable for games and applications that need
high frame rates but can do without updating the whole screen every frame.
The tarball includes source code (GPL) and precompiled binaries for Linux/x86 and Win32. SDL
and SDL_image libs/DLLs are required, but not included.
(Download from the SDL site if you don't have them.)

SDLCalc-0.0.1.tar.gz - 133k
I got totally fed up with these useless toy calculators that come with Windows,
KDE, GNOME etc - so I hacked this portable alternative, using Bison and SDL.
SDLCalc is really a calculator application for computers, rather than a simulation
of some primitive pocket calculator. This one lets you enter proper infix expressions,
use named variables and stuff like that. It has a scrolling console for results
and a line editor with history.
It even has OpenGL rendering! :-) (Well, it started out as a perversion of
smoothscroll. I just left the OpenGL code in.)
-
sfifo-1.3.tar.gz - 11k
IMPORTANT: Please upgrade to 1.3!
Older versions will CRASH if you request a buffer size that is not a power of two, as
a result of the internal size limit not matching the actual buffer size.
Simple FIFO - a portable, lock-free, single-reader/single-writer FIFO buffer, based
on a circular buffer with atomically accessible read and write indices. It's using a
simple read()/write() style API, and works in various environments, such as DOS,
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, RTLinux and RTAI.
- Comprez-0.0.1.tar.gz - 24k
A half-finished synth engine/toolkit written from scratch for the Comprez2000 "write some
music in less than 5000 lines of C" contest. I dropped out, as I had more important projects to hack,
and later, Compres2000 was canceled... *heh*
- speaker.tar.gz - 11k
Simple, useless PC speaker emulator/driver for SDL.
It supports the audio API (that part is a speaker emulator, which should be portable) as well
as the X bell API (X only) and the Linux console. Includes sound FX engine + sound effects from
the DOS version of Project Spitfire.
- vistk-0.1.0.tar.gz - 41k
VisTk; the Visualize ToolKit. (Not to be confused with other, *serious* projects with similar
names!) This is a GUI toolkit that I originally hacked for svgalib, to be used in some real time
visualization/debugging tools at work. I've since ported it to GGI and SDL, but never bothered to
add support for non-256 color modes. (It relies on SDL's emulation nowadays.) Don't use this
for anything serious! :-)
