So I've finally started down the rabbit hole of the coding project I've been thinking of for a couple years now.This is the test project to get a few things happening first:
- Render using OpenGL
- Use PNG images as textures
- Render text using a TTF font
- Do it using a full Unicode font
- Write it in C/C++
SDL makes a lot of this easier and will facilitate several other aspects for me in addition to helping to keep the code so that it will easily build for multiple platforms; cause it's 2013 and there is no "one platform" that "everyone" uses anymore.
The screen capture here shows this all happening together at once!
Time to let the noodle relax.
