| Subject: | Proposal a GUI from Ocamlsdl |
I plan to write a real interface for GlSurf (google it !). And I might start a minimal GUI library on top of OcamlSDL. What are the advantages: - access to everything in the hardware: openGL, sound, CD player, ttf fonts, etc (can even play video it seems !) - no need for callbacks from C to Caml (this is a pain, and you can not create too many callbacks with register_callback, if you do not want performance problems. I add a lot of pb with that on Glut, an app with a lot of button and one registered callback per button seems not reasonable). With OcamlSDL, you can have a Caml thread listening (or polling) the event queue and calling the Caml function directly. - it seems simple to use (I write a small example in just a few minutes, despite the lack of documentation) - works at least on windows, linux and OS X (aqua, no X11) I can either do my interface alone in my corner with a minimal GUI library ... or we can start a project with a bunch of people ... just a pb ... I do not know yet how to manipulate the OS X menu bar from SDL ... If someone knows how to do that ?
