Description
SDL2
Page for the idea: SoC_Ideas_SDL2
The Wesnoth project uses the SDL library. Last year, a new major version (2.0) of SDL was released. This version of the library has better support for mobile devices like the Android and the iPhone. This project involves helping porting Wesnoth from SDL 1.2 to 2.0.
There are no submitted student proposals for this idea
Additional Information
The transition from SDL [1] 1.2 to 2.0 is a large project and a lot of work needs to be done:
- The event handling has changed, so the event and input handling in Wesnoth needs to be changed.
- With SDL 1.2 we're using surface based drawing [2], with the transition to 2.0 we want use accelerated drawing [3].
The SDL transition is too large for one GSoC project, during the application period the student will discuss which part of the transition he or she wants to work on during the summer.
