This a fork of Go-SDL2 which supports SDL version 2.0 in a slightly different way from the version of which this is a fork. That version, in turn, forked Go-SDL to add SDL version 2.0 support.
The SDL2 support is still very much work in progress! It is, in fact, completely broken right now.
Differences from scottfergs library are:
-
No mutex handling.
-
No custom event loop adaptation to use a goroutine and channel: Catch events in the same way as using the C API directly.
-
Remove the audio/ submodule since the file headers have dubious licensing terms (and it probably doesn't work for SDL2).
-
Import paths are "github.com/krig/Go-SDL2/..."
Differences from Banthar's original library are:
-
SDL functions (except for SDL-mixer) can be safely called from concurrently running goroutines
-
All SDL events are delivered via a Go channel
-
Support for low-level SDL sound functions
-
Can be installed in parallel to Banthar's Go-SDL
-
The import paths are "github.com/scottferg/Go-SDL2/..."
Make sure you have SDL2, SDL2-image, SDL2-mixer and SDL2-ttf (all in -dev version).
Installing libraries and examples:
go get -v github.com/krig/Go-SDL2/sdl
