{-| SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a library for cross-platform development of interactive applications. SDL provides routines for managing windows, rendering graphics, processing sound, collecting input data, and much more. The Haskell @sdl2@ library provides both a high- and low-level API to interface with SDL. This module exports the high-level API, whereas "SDL.Raw" provides the lower-level bindings. -} module SDL ( -- * Getting Started -- $gettingStarted -- * Initialization module SDL.Init -- * Modules , module SDL.Audio , module SDL.Event , module SDL.Filesystem , module SDL.Hint , module SDL.Input , module SDL.Power , module SDL.Time , module SDL.Vect , module SDL.Video -- * Error Handling , module SDL.Exception -- * Working with State Variables -- $stateVars , get, ($=), ($~) -- ** Strict modification , ($=!), ($~!) ) where import Data.StateVar import SDL.Audio import SDL.Event import SDL.Exception import SDL.Filesystem import SDL.Hint import SDL.Init import SDL.Input import SDL.Power import SDL.Time import SDL.Vect import SDL.Video {- $gettingStarted The "SDL" module exports a high-level Haskell-like abstraction to use the <http://libsdl.org/ SDL> library. SDL is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. To get started, import "SDL" and begin by initializing the subsystems you need: @ import "SDL" main :: IO () main = do 'initializeAll' @ Next, you can create a 'Window' by using 'createWindow' @ window <- 'createWindow' "My SDL Application" 'defaultWindow' @ If you wish to use SDL's 2D graphics API, you can also create a 'Renderer': @ renderer <- 'createRenderer' window (-1) 'defaultRenderer' @ Finally, we enter our main application loop: @ appLoop renderer @ For the body of your application, we enter a loop. Inside this loop you should begin by collecting all events that have happened - these events will inform you about information such as key presses and mouse movement: @ appLoop :: 'Renderer' -> IO () appLoop renderer = do events <- 'pollEvents' @ Here @events@ is a list of 'Event' values. For our application we will check if the user pressed the q key, indicating they wish to quit the application @ let eventIsQPress event = case 'eventPayload' event of 'KeyboardEvent' keyboardEvent -> 'keyboardEventKeyMotion' keyboardEvent == 'Pressed' && 'keysymKeycode' ('keyboardEventKeysym' keyboardEvent) == 'KeycodeQ' _ -> False qPressed = any eventIsQPress events @ In our @appLoop@ we process events and then update the screen accordingly. Here we simply use the 'Renderer' to clear the screen to blue: @ 'rendererDrawColor' renderer '$=' V4 0 0 255 255 'clear' renderer 'present' renderer @ If q was not pressed, we loop again. Otherwise, we exit the loop: @ unless qPressed (appLoop renderer) @ To recap, here is our full application @ \{\-\# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings \#\-\} module "Main" where import "SDL" import "Linear" (V4(..)) import "Control.Monad" (unless) main :: IO () main = do 'initializeAll' window <- 'createWindow' "My SDL Application" 'defaultWindow' renderer <- 'createRenderer' window (-1) 'defaultRenderer' appLoop renderer appLoop :: 'Renderer' -> IO () appLoop renderer = do events <- 'pollEvents' let eventIsQPress event = case 'eventPayload' event of 'KeyboardEvent' keyboardEvent -> 'keyboardEventKeyMotion' keyboardEvent == 'Pressed' && 'keysymKeycode' ('keyboardEventKeysym' keyboardEvent) == 'KeycodeQ' _ -> False qPressed = any eventIsQPress events 'rendererDrawColor' renderer '$=' V4 0 0 255 255 'clear' renderer 'present' renderer unless qPressed (appLoop renderer) @ -} {- $stateVars The SDL API is moderately stateful. For the places where there is state that can be both read and changed, we use an abstraction provided by "Data.StateVar". This module exposes the 'StateVar' type, which models a mutable variable. You can query the contents of a 'StateVar' with 'get', and you can replace the contents of 'StateVar' with the infix assignment operator '$='. -}
