An experiment in binding SDL2, for kdb+/q.
Ever wanted to write a graphical app or game in q? Now you can!
- Screen/window setup
- Basic input events (mouse, keyboard)
- Basic rendering (points, lines, rectangles)
This is experimental, there are no guarantees about stability or data.
For example, I have crashed it with large numbers of points/lines as a
parameter to a draw call because of how SDL uses stack allocation (alloca()) internally.
$ make {m32,m64,l32,l64}
$ cp qsdl2_{m32,m64,l32,l64}.so /path/to/q/bin
q) \l sdl2.q
Take a look at example.q for a rough idea of "real" usage.
NOTE: You might need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables
(Mac and Linux respectively) to the directory where the .so lives before running q.
