Embedding SFML windows within existing Swift (iOS) application. #1500

Open seivan opened 6 years ago

You should be able to use just a UIViewController and not rely on a full blown UIApplicationMain and UIApplicationDelegate

I need SFML to play along side the rest of an iOS application. For that purpose it would be nice if SFML could offer just a UIViewController to use. I could either use it as a rootViewController on a separate UIWindow I make, or set it as a childVC.

The issue I got is that I need to control the loop (by calling it through CADisplayLink) and more importantly choose when I want to present it or not. As it is now (unless I mistaken) SFML has its own main.mm that calls UIApplicationMain with its own UIApplicationDelegate.

All of those are great if you want SFML to work out of the box, and I am not asking to change those, only offer an option to get a UIViewController or even just a UIView instead. Everything that works today could also work with just those.

Your environment

Sorry my bad.

Makes sense, it would be similar to the existing feature on macOS.

@seivan Are you interested in providing an implementation for this?

seivan commented 6 years ago

Yeah I could take a stab but I want to emphasize that both approaches are useful so I rather provide an implementation as an alternative rather than a replacement. Meaning allowing the user pick which approach to take when setting things up.
