1 Introduction

hu.dwim.sdl

What

It's a Common Lisp FFI for http://libsdl.org/ (SDL2).

Why

The alternative projects are partial, while this one uses cffi/c2ffi to automatically generate the CFFI bindings for the various subsystems of SDL2.

It only requires vanilla CFFI when used, no extra dependencies.

Who

Written by attila@lendvai.name.

Where

The primary communication channel is the facilities on the project's GitHub page.

How

The project uses CFFI/C2FFI. Its ASDF extension does two things:

1. If needed it can invoke c2ffi to process a C header file and emit a c2ffi spec file (a json file) that contains every detail needed for a given platform to generate its FFI. Yours truely has run this phase and checked in the resulting spec files into the c2ffi-spec/ directory, so that users don't need to have a working c2ffi executable and the SDL dev headers installed.

2. Based on the spec file it generates the CFFI forms into a lisp file (placed next to the spec file) and continues as if it was just another lisp file written by hand. (These lisp files could also be checked in the repo, but for now they are not.)

Status

It contains a complete FFI for sdl.h, sdl-gfx.h, sdl-ttf.h, and sdl-image.h. Not much has been added yet to lispify the SDL API, but the CFFI binding part is complete.

2 Systems

The main system appears first, followed by any subsystem dependency.
