This aborts and prints the error from SDL_GetError() if
SDL_CreateWindow() or SDL_CreateRenderer() fails.
We abort because there's not much point in continuing if the window or
renderer can't be created. There might be a use case for running the
game in headless mode, but let's code that in explicitly if we ever want
it.
This sets the minimum window size (to 320 x 240), so that the window
cannot be resized to lower than that.
This is because there's no utility in having a game window smaller than
that, and it provides a bonus convenience of being able to resize the
game to exactly 320x240 without needing to be exactly precise about it.
This idea was suggested by Dav999.
Ever since VVVVVV was initially ported to C++ in 2.0, it has used surfaces from SDL. The downside is, that's all software rendering. This commit moves most things off of surfaces, and all into GPU, by using textures and SDL_Renderer.
Pixel-perfect collision has been kept by keeping a copy of sprites as surfaces. There's plans for pixel-perfect collision to use masks instead of reading pixel data directly, but that's out of scope for this commit.
- `graphics.reloadresources()` is now called later in `main`, because textures cannot be created without a renderer.
- This commit also removes a bunch of surface functions which are no longer needed.
- This also recaches target textures in certain places for d3d9.
- graphics.images was converted to a fixed-size array.
- fillbox and fillboxabs use SDL_RenderDrawRect instead of drawing an outline using four filled rectangles
- Update my name in the credits
The branch name will be added to the window title if it is an interim
version, e.g. "VVVVVV [master]".
This makes it easier for developers to tell at a glance which build of
the game they're running.
While the window is initialized with 640x480, the screen settings
defaulted to 320x240, which is a tiny window. The screen settings take
priority over the initialized window, so people with no previous
settings file will get 320x240. This makes it so they get 640x480
instead.
The window is still initialized to 640x480 (constants used for clarity)
just in case there's some weirdness if it's initialized to a potentially
odd resolution from the user's settings file.
This replaces all calls to SDL_free with a new macro, VVV_free, that
nulls the pointer afterwards. This mitigates any use-after-frees and
also completely eliminates double-frees. The same is done for any
function to free specific objects such as SDL_FreeSurface, with the
VVV_freefunc macro.
No exceptions for any of these calls, even if the pointer is discarded
or zeroed afterwards anyway. Better safe than sorry.
This is a macro rather than a function that takes in a
pointer-to-pointer because such a function would have type issues that
require casting and that's just not safe.
Even though SDL_free and other SDL functions already check for NULL, the
macro has a NULL check for other functions that don't. For example,
FAudioVoice_DestroyVoice does not check for NULL.
FILESYSTEM_freeMemory has been axed in favor of VVV_free because it
functionally does the same thing except for `unsigned char*` only.
This is a minor optimization to streamline the experience of Ved
playtesting. Previously, the user would have to wait for all the assets
to load when launching playtesting (most of the time, I suspect, is
taken up by loading music from a vvvvvvmusic blob). With this
optimization, however, the game can be launched in the background and
its assets can be loaded, while it blocks on STDIN input. During this
time, the user in Ved will be choosing where to start playtesting. After
Ved provides STDIN input, then the window will be created and appears
instantaneously.
This also fixes a related issue in which providing an invalid
playtesting level name would result in a brief window flash that gets
instantly destroyed. With this, if the level is invalid then no window
is ever shown at all.
Issue #870 showed one of the problems that this game has, namely that it
only sometimes checks SDL return values, and did not do so in this case.
Part of the cause of #870 is that Screen::GetWindowSize does not check
the return value of SDL_GetRendererOutputSize, so when that function
fails (as in the case where m_renderer is NULL and does not exist), it
does not initialize the out values, so it ends up writing uninitialized
values to the save files.
We need to make sure every function's return value is checked, not just
SDL functions, but that will have to be done later.
Issue #849 suggested making integer be the default on Big Picture and
Steam Deck, but after thinking about it more, I think it's better and
more simple to just default to integer mode in general.
Reason being that people in Big Picture shouldn't expect the picture to
look different if they're out of Big Picture but still in fullscreen, or
have the picture look different in fullscreen depending on if they
launched the game for the first time in Big Picture or not. And besides,
the less lines of code, the better. So I'm just making integer mode the
default.
This enum is to just make each mode be readable, instead of mysterious
0/1/2 values. It's not a strictly-typed enum because we still have to
serialize it as ints in the XML, but it's better than just leaving them
as ints.
This also adds a NUM_SCALING_MODES enum, so we don't have to hardcode
that 3 when cycling scaling modes anymore.
This is mainly to make sure the game is definitely set to fullscreen in
Big Picture and on the Steam Deck, and to also remove windowed options
that wouldn't make sense if you're not on a desktop (toggling
fullscreen, resize to nearest). Those options would also be removed on
console and mobile too.
There's a bit of an annoying bug where if you launch the game in forced
fullscreen mode, but then exit and relaunch in normal mode, your game
will have fullscreen window sizes but it won't be fullscreen. This is
because forced fullscreen mode tries to preserve your non-forced
fullscreen setting, but due to the way window sizes are stored and
queried, it can't preserve the non-forced window size. This is a bit
difficult to work around, so I'm just putting in a FIXME here because we
can fix it later and I'd rather have a slightly buggy forced fullscreen
mode than not have one at all.
Closes#849.
This de-duplicates the code, simplifying the codebase and reducing the
number of code paths that needs to be maintained. It also adds
robustness checks to LoadIcon that weren't there before (checking that
loading the file succeeded and that decoding the file also succeeded).
Now, you might think that loading the image with alpha will change
things in some way. But actually, I tested it, and I'm pretty sure it
doesn't. Since my window manager, i3, doesn't display icons, I've had to
resort to this hacky multi-liner
( https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/48866 ) to dump the icon to a PAM
file. I don't know what a PAM file is and all my various attempts to
convert it into something readable failed. But what I did instead was
just grab the icon of the game before this commit (on 2.3, just to be
extra sure), and `diff`ed it with the grabbed icon now, and they end up
being the exact same file. So there's literally no difference.
The only other consideration is that LoadImage needs to be exported,
since it's implemented in GraphicsResources.cpp. I just opted to
forward-declare it right before LoadIcon in Screen.cpp, since it's
really the only other time it's used. No need to create a new header
file for it or anything.
This includes:
- Removing the constructor in favor of actually being able to see that
there's an actual function called being made initializing the struct
- Removing the use of a reference in Screen::init() in favor of using a
pointer
- Adding the struct qualifier everywhere (it's not much typing),
although technically you could typedef it in C, but I'd rather much
not typedef just to remove a tag qualifier
I know earlier I removed the gameScreen extern in favor of using
screenbuffer, but that was only to be consistent. After further
consideration, I have found that it's actually really stupid.
There's no reason to be accessing it through screenbuffer, and it's
probably an artifact of 2.0-2.2 passing stack-allocated otherwise-global
classes everywhere through function arguments. Also, it leads to stupid
bugs where screenbuffer could potentially be NULL, which has already
resulted in various annoying crashes in the past. Although those could
be fixed by simply initializing screenbuffer at the very top of main(),
but, why not just scrap the whole thing anyway?
So that's what I'm doing.
As a nice side effect, I've removed the transitive include of Screen.h
from Graphics.h. This could've been done already since it only includes
it for the pointer anyway, but it's still good to do it now.
It's been long overdue that this variable be named properly. 2.2 added
integer scaling mode (thanks Ethan), 2.3 renamed it to scaling mode. Now
2.4 will properly call it what it is so people won't be confused by it.
The ScreenSettings struct member is renamed from stretch to scalingMode
along with the Screen class member being renamed, as well as the
toggleStretchMode function being renamed to toggleScalingMode as well.
Unfortunately, due to compatibility, we can't change the <stretch> XML
tag.
SDL just got an API to toggle VSync without having to tear down the
renderer ( libsdl-org/SDL#4157 ). We can remove the workaround and use
that instead. For now, we are putting it behind an ifdef until SDL
2.0.18 officially releases in November.
Fixes#831.
This fixes the color ordering of every SDL_Surface in the game.
Basically, images need to be loaded in ABGR format (except if they don't
have alpha, then you use RGB? I'm not sure what's going on here), and
then they will be converted to RGB/RGBA afterwards.
Due to the surfaces actually being BGR/BGRA, the game used to use
getRGBA/getRGB to swap the colors back around to BGRA/BGR, but I've
fixed those too.
Previously, Flip Mode rendering had to be complicated and allocate
another buffer to call FlipSurfaceVerticle, and it was just a mess.
Instead, why not just do SDL_RenderCopyEx, and let SDL flip the screen
for us? This ends up pretty massively simplifying the rendering code.
This fixes a bug where using the fullscreen toggle keybind (Alt+Enter,
Alt+F, or F11) wouldn't update the color of the "resize to nearest" menu
option. The color doesn't functionally change anything - the option
still won't work, and will still have the message telling you that you
need to be in windowed mode when you move your menu selection to it -
but it's an easy inconsistency to fix; just move the menu recreation in
to Screen::toggleFullScreen() itself.
So, the codebase was kind of undecided about who is responsible for
initializing the parameters passed to FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() - is
it the caller? Is it FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory()? Sometimes callers
would initialize one variable but not the other, and it was always a
toss-up whether or not FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() would end up
initializing everything in the end.
All of this is to say that the game dereferences an uninitialized
pointer if it can't load a sound effect. Which is bad. Now, I could
either fix that single case, or fix every case. Judging by the title of
this commit, you can infer that I decided to fix every case - fixing
every case means not just all cases that currently exist (which, as far
as I know, is only the sound effect one), but all cases that could exist
in the future.
So, FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() is now guaranteed to initialize its
parameters even if the file fails to be loaded. This is better than
passing the responsibility to the caller anyway, because if the caller
initialized it, then that would be wasted work if the file succeeds
anyway because FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() will overwrite it, and if
the file fails to load, well that's when the variables get initialized
anyway.
Default function arguments are the devil, and it's better to be more
explicit about what you're passing into the function. Also because we
might become C-only in the future and to help faciliate that, we should
get rid of C++-isms like default function arguments now.
Screen.cpp wasn't explicitly including SDL.h, instead relying on
Screen.h to include it.
It was also relying on SDL.h to include stdio.h on Linux, which breaks
because SDL.h doesn't include stdio.h on Windows. So stdio.h is now
explicitly included as well.
stdlib.h is not used in this file.
ClearSurface() is less verbose than doing it the old way, and also
conveys intent clearer. Plus, some of these FillRect()s had hardcoded
width and height values, whereas ClearSurface() doesn't - meaning this
change also has better future-proofing, in case the widths and heights
of the surfaces involved change in the future.
Apparently in C, if you have `void test();`, it's completely okay to do
`test(2);`. The function will take in the argument, but just discard it
and throw it away. It's like a trash can, and a rude one at that. If you
declare it like `void test(void);`, this is prevented.
This is not a problem in C++ - doing `void test();` and `test(2);` is
guaranteed to result in a compile error (this also means that right now,
at least in all `.cpp` files, nobody is ever calling a void parameter
function with arguments and having their arguments be thrown away).
However, we may not be using C++ in the future, so I just want to lay
down the precedent that if a function takes in no arguments, you must
explicitly declare it as such.
I would've added `-Wstrict-prototypes`, but it produces an annoying
warning message saying it doesn't work in C++ mode if you're compiling
in C++ mode. So it can be added later.
These FIXME comments are still correct about code duplication, but
they're incorrect about where exactly the original code is after the
original code got moved around. So I've fixed them to refer to the
correct locations.
We really should get around to de-duplicating the code mentioned in
these comments...
This works on macOS, Wayland, and a few more esoteric platforms. X11
doesn't have a concept of DPI-awareness. Note that with this flag
SDL_GetWindowSize() isn't guaranteed to return the actual window size.
During 2.3 development, there's been a gradual shift to using SDL stdlib
functions instead of libc functions, but there are still some libc
functions (or the same libc function but from the STL) in the code.
Well, this patch replaces all the rest of them in one fell swoop.
SDL's stdlib can replace most of these, but its SDL_min() and SDL_max()
are inadequate - they aren't really functions, they're more like macros
with a nasty penchant for double-evaluation. So I just made my own
VVV_min() and VVV_max() functions and placed them in Maths.h instead,
then replaced all the previous usages of min(), max(), std::min(),
std::max(), SDL_min(), and SDL_max() with VVV_min() and VVV_max().
Additionally, there's no SDL_isxdigit(), so I just implemented my own
VVV_isxdigit().
SDL has SDL_malloc() and SDL_free(), but they have some refcounting
built in to them, so in order to use them with LodePNG, I have to
replace the malloc() and free() that LodePNG uses. Which isn't too hard,
I did it in a new file called ThirdPartyDeps.c, and LodePNG is now
compiled with the LODEPNG_NO_COMPILE_ALLOCATORS definition.
Lastly, I also refactored the awful strcpy() and strcat() usages in
PLATFORM_migrateSaveData() to use SDL_snprintf() instead. I know save
migration is getting axed in 2.4, but it still bothers me to have
something like that in the codebase otherwise.
Without further ado, here is the full list of functions that the
codebase now uses:
- SDL_strlcpy() instead of strcpy()
- SDL_strlcat() instead of strcat()
- SDL_snprintf() instead of sprintf(), strcpy(), or strcat() (see above)
- VVV_min() instead of min(), std::min(), or SDL_min()
- VVV_max() instead of max(), std::max(), or SDL_max()
- VVV_isxdigit() instead of isxdigit()
- SDL_strcmp() instead of strcmp()
- SDL_strcasecmp() instead of strcasecmp() or Win32 strcmpi()
- SDL_strstr() instead of strstr()
- SDL_strlen() instead of strlen()
- SDL_sscanf() instead of sscanf()
- SDL_getenv() instead of getenv()
- SDL_malloc() instead of malloc() (replacing in LodePNG as well)
- SDL_free() instead of free() (replacing in LodePNG as well)
Another step to fix the bug #556 is to allow Game::savestats() to accept
a pointer to an existing ScreenSettings struct. This entails refactoring
Game::savesettings() and Game::serializesettings() to accept the
function as well, along with adding Screen::GetSettings() so the
settings of the current Screen can be easily grabbed.
Okay, so basically here's the include layout that this game now
consistently uses:
[The "main" header file, if any (e.g. Graphics.h for Graphics.cpp)]
[blank line]
[All system includes, such as tinyxml2/physfs/utfcpp/SDL]
[blank line]
[All project includes, such as Game.h/Entity.h/etc.]
And if applicable, another blank line, and then some special-case
include screwy stuff (take a look at editor.cpp or FileSystemUtils.cpp,
for example, they have ifdefs and defines with their includes).
The problem we're running into is entirely contained in the Screen - we need to
either decouple graphics context init from Screen::init or we need to take out
the screenbuffer interaction from loadstats (which I'm more in favor of since we
can just pull the config values and pass them to Screen::init later).
If you want your game window to simply be exactly 320x240, or 640x480,
or 960x720 etc. then it's really annoying that there's no easy way to do
this (to clarify, this is different from integer mode, which controls
the size of the game INSIDE the window). The easiest way would be having
to close the game, go into unlock.vvv, and edit the window size
manually. VCE has a 1x/2x/3x/4x graphics option to solve this, although
it does not account for actual monitor size (those 1x/2x/3x/4x modes are
all you get, whether or not you have a monitor too small for some of
them or too big for any of them to be what you want).
I discussed this with flibit, and he said that VCE's approach (if it
accounted for monitor size) wouldn't work on high-retina displays or
high DPIs, because getting the actual multiplier to account for those
monitors is kind of a pain. So the next best thing would be to add an
option that resizes to the nearest perfect multiple of 320x240. That way
you could simply resize the window and let the game correct any
imperfect dimensions automatically.
Ugh, this is terrible and stupid and I hate myself for it.
Anyway, since the SDL2 VSync hint only applies when the renderer is
created, we have to re-create the renderer whenever VSync is toggled.
However, this also means we need to re-create m_screenTexture as well,
AND call ResizeScreen() after that or else the letterbox/integer modes
won't be applied.
Unfortunately, this means that in main(), gameScreen.init() will create
a renderer only to be destroyed later by graphics.processVsync().
There's not much we can do about this. Fixing this would require putting
graphics.processVsync() before gameScreen.init(). However, in order to
know whether the user has VSync set, we would have to call
game.loadstats() first, but wait, we can't, because game.loadstats()
mutates gameScreen! Gahhhhhh!!!!
@leo60228 suggested to fix that problem (
https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/pull/220#issuecomment-624217939
) by adding NULL checks to game.loadstats() and then calling it twice,
but then you're trading wastefully creating a renderer only to be
destroyed, for wastefully opening and parsing unlock.vvv twice instead
of once. In either case, you're doing something twice and wasting work.
