libDarnit

This library is a collection of wrappers for SDL, OpenGL etc, in an attempt to make a general purpose game-library for the pandora. It wraps stuff like rendering tiles/tilemaps and sprites, playing music and sound effects, basic boundary box collision detection, font and menu-system and input handling.

Its API is about to reach version 0.2. From this point onwards, 100% binary backwards-compatibility will be the target.

Feature-list:

• Rendering of tiles and sprites using tilesheets (tilesheets can be animated)

• TrueType text and menu rendering (via stb_truetype)

• Supports PNG/TGA/JPEG (and a few more) images for tilesheets and tilemaps

• Supports playback of MOD/XM/s3m/it etc. (via libmodplug) and OGG (via stb_vorbis)

• Stereo playback of sound effects

• Built-in fast boundary box collision detection

• Built-in map loader. A map converter is included in the libdarnit source tree.

• A filesystem wrapper to make resource-loading less painful across different platforms.

• Cross platform! Should work on any platform with SDL and OpenGL (Tested on OpenPandora, desktop Linux (AMD64) and Win32)

• Runs on Windows 98

Latest development snapshot can be downloaded from GitHub. I don't really do releases anymore.

Documentation

Documentation is currently non-existant. This will hopefully change with time. At the moment, the only available documentation is the development headers, and the only example is the bundled "testapp".
