Hi everyone, today I completed my work on the sfml-port-input branch. For the first time in our SFML porting efforts I was able to actually compile, run, and play the game. I successfully finished lvl_1. The sfml-port-input branch has now been merged into feature-sfml-port2, which thereby now contains a roughly playable version of TSC mostly ported to SFML. The port still has its issues, but I think the largest part now has been moved over. The biggest thing remaining is the porting of the audio system from SDL_mixer to SFML’s audio module, but thanks to kirbyfan there is a PR available for that already[1] which will drastically simplyfy things. If I have a correct view on the topic, it is possible for us to wipe the SDL1 dependency from the codebase after merging kirbyfan’s audio PR. The SFML port in feature-sfml-port2 is, as outlined, roughly playable. It has some issues we now need to tackle: 1. Mouse button input doesn’t work. You have to navigate the game with the keyboard, including menus. 2. Graphical glitch with blue arrows in the HUD and everywhere points should occur. This is probably due to an unported call to glPixelStorei() in video.cpp[2] that I don’t know how to handle. datahead, Luiji, would be nice if one of you OpenGL people can take a look at that and estimate what that line intended to do (and even better, fix the problem). There are probably numerous further issues that I haven’t spot by simply running through lvl_1. Please compile and test feature-sfml-port2 now, and even more important, please contribute to it. The lengthy part of the SFML porting should be over now, so let’s finish this. Before starting the game, move away or delete your ~/.config/tsc/config.xml file. SFML doesn’t understand the SDL key codes (obviously) and you would be unable to input anything with your keyboard. Deleting that file causes the game to recreate it with the default values (jump = s, fire/iceballs = space, etc.). If you run ArchLinux or another rolling release distribution, beware issue #500[3]. There is an incompatibility between our old CEGUI version and the newest version of freetype2. This doesn’t specifically affect the feature-sfml-port2 branch, but also devel and all versions of TSC and probably even SMC alike. The issue tracker contains a workaround for the problem. Let’s work on completing the move to SFML. Happy coding!
