Works with versions 0.6.x (obsolete)
Written for CEGUI 0.5
Works with versions 0.5.x (obsolete)
SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is an excellent library for writing portable games and other multimedia applications, but as it is a low-level library, it has no native support for GUI interfaces.
When using OpenGL for rendering, using CEGUI with SDL is not hard.
I'll assume that you've read the imbiciles tutorials, and have used SDL with OpenGL. And know C / C++ ...
Contents
Initialisation
Before we can do anything, we need to initialise our libraries. First SDL:
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)<0) { fprintf(stderr, "Unable to initialise SDL: %s", SDL_GetError()); exit(0); }
Here we initialise SDL with video support. We need this for CEGUI. O.K. now SDL is ready to go. So let's fire up OpenGL:
if (SDL_SetVideoMode(800,600,0,SDL_OPENGL)==NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Unable to set OpenGL videomode: %s", SDL_GetError()); SDL_Quit(); exit(0); }
Now OpenGL is ready. But we still need to set a decent configuration:
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE); glDisable(GL_FOG); glClearColor(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,1.0f); glViewport(0,0, 800,600);
The OpenGL renderer that comes with CEGUI sets the matrices itself, so if you're using CEGUI for all your rendering needs this would be fine. Normally you would want the normal perspective projection setup though:
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); gluPerspective(45.0, 800.0/600.0, 0.1,100.0); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity();
SDL and OpenGL are now both ready for action. So it's time to initialise CEGUI. First we need the renderer.
#include "renderers/OpenGLGUIRenderer/openglrenderer.h"
It must be created before starting CEGUI.
CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer* renderer = new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0,800,600);
Then the CEGUI::System must be initialised:
new CEGUI::System(renderer);
Remember that you have to load a widget set, set the mouse cursor and a default font before CEGUI is completely ready. This is described in the other tutorials.
By default the SDL cursor is displayed, so we'll remove that:
SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_DISABLE);
As keypress characters needs to be injected into CEGUI, we activate unicode translation for SDL key events:
SDL_EnableUNICODE(1);
This makes it alot easier as we don't have to worry about modifier keys and keyboard layouts ourselves. More about this later on...
Key repeat is a nice feature for the text input widgets in CEGUI, so we use SDL to generate them:
SDL_EnableKeyRepeat(SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_DELAY, SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_INTERVAL);
Everything is ready now, and we can start the main loop :)
The Main Loop
To make it all happen, we use a simple main loop that just keeps pushing on those frames:
void main_loop() { bool must_quit = false; // get "run-time" in seconds double last_time_pulse = 0.001*static_cast<double>(SDL_GetTicks()); while (!must_quit) { inject_input(must_quit); inject_time_pulse(last_time_pulse); render_gui(); } }
This function will run the main loop until the bool value must_quit becomes true. In this tutorial this will happen when the user clicks the close button provided by the window manager.
The double value last_time_pulse holds the time of the latest time pulse injection. More about this later.
Each function in the while loop will be described below.
There are endless ways of making your main loop. I took a simple approach to ease writing this tutorial.
Injecting Input and injecting change of window size
When the user press or release keyboard or mouse buttons, we need to tell CEGUI about it, for this we use the injection functions of CEGUI::System. We also have to tell
Here is what our inject_input function looks like:
void inject_input(bool& must_quit) { SDL_Event e; // go through all available events while (SDL_PollEvent(&e)) { // we use a switch to determine the event type switch (e.type) { // mouse motion handler case SDL_MOUSEMOTION: // we inject the mouse position directly. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMousePosition( static_cast<float>(e.motion.x), static_cast<float>(e.motion.y) ); break; // mouse down handler case SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN: // let a special function handle the mouse button down event handle_mouse_down(e.button.button); break; // mouse up handler case SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP: // let a special function handle the mouse button up event handle_mouse_up(e.button.button); break; // key down case SDL_KEYDOWN: // to tell CEGUI that a key was pressed, we inject the scancode. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyDown(e.key.keysym.scancode); // as for the character it's a litte more complicated. we'll use for translated unicode value. // this is described in more detail below. if ((e.key.keysym.unicode != 0) { CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectChar(e.key.keysym.unicode); } break; // key up case SDL_KEYUP: // like before we inject the scancode directly. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyUp(e.key.keysym.scancode); break; // WM quit event occured case SDL_QUIT: must_quit = true; break; } } }
First I'll explain the events that get handled directly in the inject_input function.
Mouse Motion:
// we inject the mouse position directly. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMousePosition( static_cast<float>(e.motion.x), static_cast<float>(e.motion.y) );
There is nothing special here. Like stated in the comment the mouse position is just injected directly.
There are two ways of injecting mouse motion. One where you inject how much the cursor moved, and one where you inject the mouse cursor position. The last one is failsafe. Then first one only works correctly in fullscreen mode, or with input grabbed. The reason for this is that in regular windowed mode, the mouse can be moved outside the application window, and during this time no mouse motion event are generated. So if we enter the window at another position, the real mousecursor and CEGUI's mouse cursor will be offset, which will break mouse usage.
Key Down
This event takes a little more work. CEGUI requires that key characters (the printable character the key represents) are injected alongside key codes.
// to tell CEGUI that a key was pressed, we inject the scancode. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyDown(e.key.keysym.scancode);
Luckily the key code is just the SDL scancode, so we inject that directly. (This only seems to be true on windows. On other platforms you will need to use a translation function. One can be found here SDL to CEGUI keytable)
// as for the character it's a litte more complicated. we'll use for translated unicode value. // this is described in more detail below. if (e.key.keysym.unicode != 0) { CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectChar(e.key.keysym.unicode); }
Instead of formatting the keypress ourselves, we let SDL do it for us. We could check if we actually got a valid ASCII code, but we want support for local characters as well, so we won't do that. For more information, take a look at the SDL documentation for this feature. SDL_keysym.
Key Up
This one is simple. Only the keycode need to injected. So we just use the scancode directly (As with KeyDown you will need to use a translation function for non Windows platforms. Check KeyDown above for more info):
// like before we inject the scancode directly. CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyUp(e.key.keysym.scancode);
Mouse Button Down and Mouse Wheel
CEGUI and SDL are a little different when it comes to mouse button and mouse wheel events. So a little conversion is necessary. Here's the handle_mouse_down function that gets called when a mouse button down event occurs in SDL. It takes one parameter, a Uint8 describing the mouse button that was pressed.
void handle_mouse_down(Uint8 button) { switch ( button ) { // handle real mouse buttons case SDL_BUTTON_LEFT: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::LeftButton); break; case SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::MiddleButton); break; case SDL_BUTTON_RIGHT: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::RightButton); break; // handle the mouse wheel case SDL_BUTTON_WHEELDOWN: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseWheelChange( -1 ); break; case SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseWheelChange( +1 ); break; } }
I chose a very "manual" conversion, but it works fine. Everything should be pretty self-explainatory. As you can see mouse wheel events are emitted as mouse button down events in SDL.
Mouse Button Up
The mouse button up event is handled very much like the mouse button down event, except there are no mousewheel release events.
Like handle_mouse_down it takes one parameter, a Uint8 describing the mouse button that was released:
void handle_mouse_up(Uint8 button) { switch ( button ) { case SDL_BUTTON_LEFT: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::LeftButton); break; case SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::MiddleButton); break; case SDL_BUTTON_RIGHT: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::RightButton); break; } }
Time Pulses
SDL has a built-in millisecond counter which we will use for this example. There are other ways to use timers with SDL, but I chose this approach as it is simple to use, and provides decent precision.
Remember in the main loop where we stored the current "run-time" in seconds ? This value will be passed as a reference to inject_time_pulse function which in turn will set a new value to it.
CEGUI's interface for injecting time pulses requires that you pass the time in seconds that has passed since the last time pulse injection. Let's take a look at the function:
void inject_time_pulse(double& last_time_pulse) { // get current "run-time" in seconds double t = 0.001*SDL_GetTicks(); // inject the time that passed since the last call CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectTimePulse( float(t-last_time_pulse) ); // store the new time as the last time last_time_pulse = t; }
- The first line gets the actual "run-time" when called.
- The second line injects the time pulse as the difference between the current time and the last time.
- The third line stores the current time as the last time a time pulse was injected.
This will work for about 47 days... After that the counter wraps to zero and it breaks (a single insanely invalid timepulse will be injected). I'll leave it up to you to fix that if it's a problem.
Change of window size
If the window size changes (e.g. switching to fullscreen mode), we have to tell the openGlRenderer what's the new window size. Otherwise e.g. the Fonts aren't scaled properly. Therefore we add an SDL Event Handler for SDL_VIDEORESIZE and submit the new window size to the openGlRenderer of CEGUI. Also, on a resize the OpenGL context is lost, meaning textures must be reloaded. The OpenGLRenderer provides functions to do this, grabTextures and restoreTextures.
... case SDL_VIDEORESIZE: renderer->grabTextures(); //your resize code here, including the SDL_SetVideoMode call renderer->restoreTextures(); renderer->setDisplaySize(CEGUI::Size(e.resize.w, e.resize.h)); break; ...
Rendering
Now all that's left is renderingthe GUI.
void render_gui() { // clear the colour buffer glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT ); // render the GUI :) CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI(); // Update the screen SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(); }
The line:
CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();
does all the CEGUI magic and sets OpenGL state itself. As long as the viewport is setup, it will render the GUI.
Error Handling
The neat C++ architecture of CEGUI suggests that C++ exceptions are used for error handling. This is completely true. Whenever an error occurs, a sub-class of CEGUI::Exception is thrown.
There are many scenarios where an exception can be thrown. And whether or not these should be considered fatal depends on the application. To make sure you catch the CEGUI exceptions a regular try block is used. Like so:
try { // do some cegui code } catch (CEGUI::Exception& e) { fprintf(stderr,"CEGUI Exception occured: %s", e.getMessage().c_str()); // you could quit here }
This should provide you with the basic steps needed to get interactive with CEGUI in your SDL application. Have fun.
The Code
To compile under linux:
gcc teste.cpp -I/usr/include/CEGUI/ -lSDL -lGL -lGLU -lCEGUIBase -lCEGUIOpenGLRenderer
This code uses release 0.5.0 of CEGUI.
