Font and text handling is very much part of user interface and at least
partially independent of rendering, but does fit it better with GUI than
genera UI (ie, both graphics and text mode), thus libQFgui as well as
libQFui are built in the ui directory.
The existing font related builtins have been moved into the ruamoko
client library.
While the libraries are probably getting a little out of hand, the
separation into its own directory is probably a good thing as an ECS
should not be tied to scenes. This should make the ECS more generally
useful.
It now uses the advanced command line parsing used by qwaq-curses and
qwaq-cmd, but currently disables multi-threading (I don't want to deal
with threading in the engine just yet). The int file is -graphics
because qwaq-x11 is really just the X11 target, qwaq-win is built for
windows, but they use the same basic startup (I hope).
This should be a much friendlier way of "grabbing" input, though I
suspect that using raw keyboard events will result in a keyboard grab,
which is part of the reason for wanting a friendly grab.
There does seem to be a problem with the mouse sneaking out of the
top-right and bottom-left corners. I currently suspect a bug in the X
server, but further investigation is needed.
Right now, only raw pointer motion and button events are handled, and
the mouse escapes the window, and there are some issues with focus in
focus-follows-mouse environments. However, this should be a much nicer
setup than DGA.
The queues in the curses resources struct have been cleaned up and the
threading support code (including for the queues (pipes, really)) has
been moved to its own file.
The input test app currently just prints the devices and the events as
they come in, but demonstrates the new input system working in a
separate thread (though it is currently in with the curses thread).
qwaq-curses has its place, but its use for running vkgen was really a
placeholder because I didn't feel like sorting out the different
initialization requirements at the time. qwaq-cmd has the (currently
unnecessary) threading power of qwaq-curses, but doesn't include any UI
stuff and thus doesn't need curses. The work also paves the way for
qwaq-x11 to become a proper engine (though sorting out its init will be
taken care of later).
Fixes#15.
This refactors (as such) keys.c so that it no longer depends on console
or gib, and pulls keys out of video targets. The eventual plan is to
move all high-level general input handling into libQFinput, and probably
low-level (eg, /dev/input handling for joysticks etc on Linux).
Fixes#8
And fix an error in floatview.
The z-transform program is so I can test out my math and eventually
develop some hopefully interesting sound generators.
This is the first step towards component-based entities.
There's still some transform-related stuff in the struct that needs to
be moved, but it's all entirely client related (rather than renderer)
and will probably go into a "client" component. Also, the current
components are directly included structs rather than references as I
didn't want to deal with the object management at this stage.
As part of the process (because transforms use simd) this also starts
the process of moving QF to using simd for vectors and matrices. There's
now a mess of simd and sisd code mixed together, but it works
surprisingly well together.
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
