Anthony AcciolyLong shot, but has anyone in my network ever done anything with the Nim programming language and SDL3?

Glitchy PixelVeggies currently has features like:* Simple arcade-style motion and collision detection * ECS with prefabs * Scene structure. * Actor paradigm for those who prefer a different approach.And well, the use of the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vala</a> language. Its built on top the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SDL3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SDL3</a> Vapis I made as well.I like vala, I wish it was more popular. Oh well, I'm making this just in case someone wants to do something other than GTK.Its still in development, hopefully I'll release it soon! Most likely on a FLOSS license.

omg! ubuntuWhen paired with the Blur My Shell extension on GNOME Shell, Tauon 8.0 looks seriously slick 😎 <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/tauon-8-0-app-update-transparent-linux" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/tauon-8-0-app-update-transparent-linux</a><a href="https://floss.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a>

OMG! Ubuntu!Tauon Music Player Adds Slick Transparency Mode for LinuxA new version of Tauon music player is out, gifting fans of the powerful and unique-looking audio app a raft of new features to play with – including some Linux exclusive eye candy! Tauon 8.0 has been fully ported to SDL3, an efficient cross-platform and open-source multimedia library that provides a robust API for interacting with hardware (like audio devices). Tauon mention that the port provides better stability and scope for adding interesting new capabilities. Features-wise, Tauon 8.0 adds an options menu to the stop button so let users define stop behaviour (including an ‘always’ setting, e.g., ‘always stop after :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppUpdates</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/MusicPlayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MusicPlayers</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sdl3</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Tauon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tauon</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/tauon-8-0-app-update-transparent-linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/tauon-8-0-app-update-transparent-linux</a>

Glitchy PixelSo I just moved the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SDL3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SDL3</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> vapis to <a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Codeberg</a> migrating from Github was actually pretty easy!<a href="https://codeberg.org/edwood-grant/sdl3-vapi" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/edwood-grant/sdl3-vapi</a>I also added a new GPU rotating colored cube example. So this makes the whole thing a bit more complete 😛.I will probably just make the github repo either a mirror or just leave a message on top pointing the the actual repo in codeberg.I mean it makes sense to have this project outside of big tech. I feel that, at least for me, is important.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a>

Glitchy PixelI'm getting clobbered trying to implement the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> bindings GPU samples. I'm adapting/stealing them from TheSpyDog's SDL GPU samples github.Not a graphics programmer and relatively new to vala, so its been interesting.Was getting a crash and I forgot that I can debug the executables with GDB on terminal, which is nice.Ran GDB, one look at the stack and the line of code and the solution was obvious lol. This happens because I'm a caveman and I rarely use a debugger.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a>

Glitchy PixelFolks! Finally! I have published the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> bindings! I'm a bit scared, I have never released bindings to the public. <a href="https://github.com/edwood-grant/sdl3-vapi" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/edwood-grant/sdl3-vapi</a>There are samples, some tests have been made, and some paltry docs can be generated.Is this perfect? Not at all, is likely having tons of problems somewhere within many calls I haven't tested at all.But it's usable, at least for the basic SDL3 samples. Any contributions, issues, PR, whatever your mind can think of are very welcome.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a>

Glitchy PixelThe writing of the whole <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> Vapi for <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> is done!Now, is it working? Well I started to port the SDL3 examples browser to find out.There were some snags about truly learning about CCode attributes (oh, so that's why SimpleType and Compact exist! Or my favorite: I forgot to put has_type_id=false everywhere!)But the goods news is that the render examples are all complete! I need to check more stuff and finish the current samples but it's very close to release!<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a>

Glitchy PixelGot news! The <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a> VAPI is going well!Only two files left to translate: SDL_audio.h and SDL_gpu.h admittedly the newer stuff. I feel this is getting close to finally release it somewhere.Is it perfect? No way, it's highly likely borked in places. But it's a start to begin fixing things and receive help from more capable people 😀.Not sure where to put this... I know Gnome has a GitLab… or maybe just on GitHub? Not sure about it.Anyway, feeling good about this one. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a>

Glitchy PixelIn my work creating the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SDL3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SDL3</a> bindings for <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a>, I noticed for example stdinc.h. It's huge! And some of it makes little sense to adapt to <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a>. I understand the goal, and it's to provide a full translation of the standard c library so you can compile SDL even in places where there is no std. Thus to bring truly full portability. But it makes little sense in vala. It already has glibc behind. But then what would be a really necessary addition? It can be complex to do it right. 1/2 <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a>

Glitchy PixelChugging along with my <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/sdl3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sdl3</a> bindings for <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/vala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vala</a>.Right now my approach is like SDL3-CS, plain static methods with no frills to just have the SDL3 API plainly available (for things like defines that act like methods, will need custom implementation).Then I'd like to "Vala-ify" the API, to make an interface that works with the Vala way. And then docs.I wonder if its sensible to have two layers/namespaces on the Vapi. One a direct translation and then a second wrapper around the former.
