TempleLib

Warning: The library is in a very early pre-alpha stage, and is far from feature complete.

TempleLib is C library that aims to provide a development environment and UI similar to TempleOS. The goal is to create an almost 1:1 recreation of the graphics and doc API from TempleOS, without user programs needing to interact with any SDL data structures.

Please note that this is my first library using SDL and C, so the code might be a bit amateur. The library has only been tested on Linux, so it might not work on other platforms.

TODO

• Move to using a DC-type data structure for storing graphics.
• Implement the full set of Graphics functions.
• Implement the full set of Doc functions.
• Keyboard input.
• Scroll wheel support.
• Add compiling to a shared library.
• Change the directory where the glyph sheet is stored.
• Custom cursor.
• Fix the glyphsheet installer so it installs in make files, and not in the cmake file.
• Add minimium window size.
• Update Control class to better reflect the way TempleOS handles controls.

Done

• Custom window borders with movement and resizing.
• Change "Button" to "Control". This name makes more sense becuase the buttons are also used for the window resizing and moving.
• Make single header file that included all the other header files. This is better copy how TempleOS handles includes.
• Add Memory address to window border. I don't really know what I will use for this though.
• Change text case to what TempleOS uses (PascalCase).
• Moved Doc and Gr function to own directory instead of one file.
• Move Window Drawing functions to Gr dir.
• Add window flags.
• Move to using CP437 for the glyphs.

Running/Using

1. Download the source:

git clone https://github.com/Berserkware/templelib
cd templelib

2. Run CMake

cmake .

3. Run Make

make

4. Run the demo

./templelib/demo

To learn how to develop with the library, you can look through the source and demo code. I will create full documentation when the library is out of pre-alpha.

Contributing

Since the library is in early alpha, any contributions would be much appreciate. You can contribute by creating issues or pull requests. Also, feel free to majorly restructure parts of the code, since it isn't really set in stone.

Known Bugs

• If the window is touching the bottom of the screen, it goes super slow. I think this is because of the window position to text snapper. It is trying to move to where the taskbar is, but is blocked.
• The window title bar seems to variate in speed.
• Even with the window no border flag set, the controls still work.
• Window can't go pass edge of screen.
