Pixbuffer

A basic CPU-rendered pixel buffer for Odin, using SDL2. Inspired by Rust's minifb crate.

Features

Customizable window creationg using standard SDL2 flags
Convenient wrappers around initialization and rendering
Full exposure of the underlying data, meaning all of SDL2 is still available to you
A small set of simple drawing primitives (pixel, rect, line) in the pixbuffer/draw package

Considerations and caveats

Currently doesn't handle any sort of framerate limiting nor counting frame time delta

Example

import pb "pixbuffer"
import "pixbuffer/draw"
import "core:fmt"

main :: proc() {
    opts := pb.Window_Options {
        title = "Pixbuffer",
        pos = {pb.CENTERED, pb.CENTERED},
        width = 640,
        height = 480,
    }

    window, err := pb.init_window(opts)
    if err != .None {
        fmt.eprintfln("error initializing: %s", err)
        return
    }
    defer pb.destroy_window(win)

    should_close := false
    for !should_close {
        event: pb.Event         // this is an SDL2 `Event`, re-exported
        pb.poll_event(&event)   // this is `sdl2.PollEvent`, re-exported

        #partial switch event.type {
        case .QUIT:
            should_close = true

        case .KEYDOWN:
            if event.key.keysym.sym == .ESCAPE {
                should_close = true
            }
        }

        draw.rect(win, 20, 20, 100, 100, pb.RED)
        pb.render(win)
    }
}
