GLFW3 #5

Open xyproto opened 9 years ago

xyproto commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to package pink-pony for Arch Linux. The official version of GLFW for Arch is 3.1.1.

My attempt to add full GLFW3 support was not completed, but this is what I've got so far:

See this document for more information about making the transition from GLFW 2 to 3: http://www.glfw.org/docs/3.0/moving.html

Please support GLFW3.

Best regards, Alexander F Rødseth

Hello xyproto,

porting to GLFW3 shouldn't be too much of an issue. flextGL has a backend for GLFW3 now, so we can generate code for that. I didn't know pink-pony still uses GLU. We can probably get rid of that dependency altogether.

PS: There already is an AUR package for pink-pony: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pink-pony/ That depends on glfw2, which is also an AUR package.

One thing which sort of kept me from switching to GLFW3 with pink-pony was that it still hasn't been widely adopted by other distros. Those are usually less quick to switch to newer api versions than Arch is.

Thanks for the reply! I somehow missed the AUR package. It's understandable if supporting GLEW3 is not a priority. Cheers!

Hi, I played this game time ago. I've been trying to compile it in Gentoo, but GLFW-2 it's not supported anymore. Do you have any plans to update to GLFW3?.

I forked and try to do my best, but I'm not familiar with GLFW3, sorry.

Thanks for the game

Hi @Turulomio, hmm.. I remember that I started working on this(created a glfw3 branch for it), but it seems like I never committed the local changes. I see if I can get it to compile and push the current state to the glfw3 branch. It shouldn't be too hard to switch to glfw3. The main change is that many functions need a glfw window to be passed as an additional parameter.

Okay, here's my changes: https://github.com/ginkgo/pink-pony/commit/cc0f51ab2c4cd01c4b3c6741ba38b37af8fc391f

It compiles but there still seem to be some issues with the GUI and sound. You can use this as a starting point if you want. Otherwise I can have a look myself.

User input should work with https://github.com/ginkgo/pink-pony/commit/f2eb8f0dc1d403428b9f287d414e925a006b2d70 now. There's still issues with sound and GLU though.
