Getting a minimalistic build with just SDL2
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Motivation
It would be nice to get a small minimalistic boilerplate of a project that runs the Swift SDL2 bindings alone. I like where this project is going, but I see value even in the ability of setting up events and graphics across platforms.
Proposed solution
Maybe look into a fork of this repo with the UIKit stuff stripped out, and more focus on getting a Windows/Scene setup, with text and a coloured square. Another alternative is a demo/sample for https://github.com/flowkey/SDL2-SwiftPackageManager
Potential alternatives
Another alternative would be to use something like https://github.com/SwiftGFX/SwiftBGFX instead for the underlying rendering. But I am not sure what issues there would be. It looks like your SDL2 repo is up to date, and those Swift bindings aren't.
Hi @seivan, thanks for adding this issue.
That isn't really a goal of this project but we have also needed that functionality internally so it's possible we'll make https://github.com/flowkey/SDL2-SwiftPackageManager easier to get running standalone eventually.
Do you have experience with something like this? Would you be willing to put together a minimal PR in the SDL repo to get something along those lines working?
