SDL2 based minilibx port for Windows

This port is based on the X11 based minilibx for linux of 42Paris school https://github.com/42Paris/minilibx-linux/

Unofficial implementation

The Minilibx was originally created by Olivier Crouzet (ol@42), this only is an implementation of it for Windows using the Simple DirectMedia Layer 2 library.

The SDL2 is available for Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Android, macOS, iOS, FreeBSD and Haiku so this port should probably be adaptable for all those OS without too much effort.

However, I've only tested this for Windows.

X11 events currently implemented/mapped :

KeyPress
KeyRelease
ButtonPress
ButtonRelease
FocusIn
FocusOut
DestroyNotify
Expose

If you need other events, feel free to make an issue or to map them yourself in mlx.c and making a pull request afterwards (please).

Fonctions currently implemented :

void  *mlx_init(void);

void  *mlx_new_image(void  *mlx_ptr, int  width, int  height);
char  *mlx_get_data_addr(void  *img_ptr, int  *bits_per_pixel,
						    int  *size_line, int  *endian);
int  mlx_put_image_to_window(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr, void  *img_ptr,
							 int  x, int  y);
int  mlx_destroy_image(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *img_ptr);
int  mlx_clear_window(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr);

int  mlx_pixel_put(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr, int  x, int  y,
				    int  color);

void  *mlx_new_window(void  *mlx_ptr, int  size_x, int  size_y, char  *title);
int  mlx_destroy_window(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr);

int  mlx_expose_hook (void  *win_ptr, int (*funct_ptr)(), void  *param);
int  mlx_mouse_hook (void  *win_ptr, int (*funct_ptr)(), void  *param);
int  mlx_key_hook (void  *win_ptr, int (*funct_ptr)(), void  *param);
int  mlx_hook(void  *win_ptr, int  x_event, int  x_mask,
			    int (*funct)(), void  *param);

int  mlx_loop_hook (void  *mlx_ptr, int (*funct_ptr)(), void  *param);
int  mlx_loop (void  *mlx_ptr);

int  mlx_do_key_autorepeatoff(void  *mlx_ptr);
int  mlx_do_key_autorepeaton(void  *mlx_ptr);

int  mlx_mouse_get_pos(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr, int  *x, int  *y);
int  mlx_mouse_move(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr, int  x, int  y);
int  mlx_mouse_hide(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr);
int  mlx_mouse_show(void  *mlx_ptr, void  *win_ptr);

int  mlx_get_screen_size(void  *mlx_ptr, int  *sizex, int  *sizey);

void  *mlx_xpm_file_to_image(void  *mlx_ptr, char  *filename, int  *width, int  *height);

If you are interested in this port but need more features from the original mlx, please make an issue, if you do so hopefully I should be able to implement them pretty quickly.

INSTALLATION

You will need Mingw (Minimalist GNU for Windows) tools : https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/ (which ports GNU GCC and GNU Make to Windows)

Make in the project's root directory will compile the lib and a test executable

Lib path is minilibx_sdl2/libmlx.a

You will need to place SDL2.dll, SDL2_image.dll next to your executable. (because i still don't understand how to change the path to these fucking dynamic libs (: )

You'll need to compile with the following links : -L"$(MLX_DIRECTORY)/SDL/lib" -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_mixer -lSDL2_ttf -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -ldxguid

KNOWN BUG

Some .xpm files (like small_gun.xpm from test pictures) can't be parsed by the SDL2 image module for a reason unknown to me, if you find an explanantion or a fix, please make an issue about it (that would be super awesome).

EPILEPSY WARNING

The default test displays a rectangle changing colors at every frame.
