Short: SDL/pdcurses with no size gadget Author: William McBrine, Various, 68k compile by uploader Uploader: lombi iprimus com au (Lorence Lombardo) Type: dev/lib Version: 3.4 Architecture: m68k-amigaos [3rd upload] Improved video flags when PDC_FSCRN is true. The size gadget can be reinstated with PDC_SIZE for both versions of the lib for testing purposes. When trying to determine dimensions for a full screen size with the default font the calculation is as follows:- Lets say we are calculating for a fullscreen of 640x480. PDC_LINES = int(480/16) PDC_COLS = int(640/8) The "int" indicates that we are only using the integer component of the result. The final result should be as in the previous upload. See the following URL for another example of this lib in use:- http://aminet.net/package/game/actio/thew_68k [2nd upload] I have added the PDC_FSCRN environment variable to the FPU version of the lib. Unfortunately this update is currently not possible for the NoFPU version. Here is a CLI test example giving a nice 640x480 fullscreen:- set PDC_FSCRN 1 set PDC_LINES 30 set PDC_COLS 80 tuidemo This has no effect on "sdltest" because PDC environment variables have been bypassed by actual SDL code in the example. The result of "sdltest" is the same with the original version of the lib. Warning...!!! Misuse of environment variables can lead to screen corruption. "libpdcurses_ns.a" is a new alternative build of "libpdcurses.a" by the Uploader. Why ? Because many curses programs do not actually require a size gadget. But the original build can be obtained from here:- http://aminet.net/package/dev/lib/libpdcurses NB: The NoFPU version of the lib was intended for Gabriele Greco's SDL implementation. But as I recently discovered it is possible to compile the FPU version for NoFPU with Bernd Roesch's updated SDL implementation. (See THEW) Welcome to PDCurses! ==================== Public Domain Curses, aka PDCurses, is an implementation of X/Open curses for multiple platforms. The latest version can be found at: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/ I recommend backing up original includes before installing these new includes.
