Hardware surface with double buffering is the preferred mode since it has lower overhead than the software surface. First of all make sure that you video card supports opengl 4. When you use double buffering, drawing is done in an offscreen buffer and the image is moved. Opengl is the software interface to graphics hardware.

This prevents problems with tearing, but requires a little more memory and cpu time. The problem is, swapping buffers without redrawing causes flickering because of double triple buffering. A software implementation of double buffering has all drawing operations store their results in some region of system. For software which is ed by the free software foundation, write to the free software foundation. Converging sdl s leading language technologies and 27 years experience in developing translation management systems tms for the worlds leading brands, sdl language cloud is the first nextgeneration, end to end platform for intelligent translation. If a buffer overflow doesnt cause a segmentation fault, it will probably mess up sdl e. The buffer that we fill is allocated by sdl and is probably adjacent to sdl s own audio data structures. This is used with doublebuffered opengl contexts, which are the default. However if you are already doing this i would suspect some other issue is at hand, you may want to check if you are using vsync and see if there are other bugs in your. If a hardware resolution change is not possible for whatever reason, the next higher resolution will be. That gives you the effect of double buffering without asking for it and without the speed.

It also keeps some state like what version of opengl we are using and some other stuff. Like maybe 10 times real fast every 3 seconds second or so. The hardware will wait for vertical retrace, and then swap video. To use opengl es for 3d rendering, you must create an sdl application, and understand.

Because it allows sdl to use retrace synced page flips when supported by the driver. Many graphics hardware always double buffered, so it is hard to see the differences. See when you draw to the screen, you are not typically drawing to the image on the screen you see. Installation direcorys for the software does not work exactly as in windows all on one directory, instead files are grouped by type, like usrbin for binarys, usrshareappname for data and so on.

We need a rendering context before we can do any opengl stuff. By default, most rendering systems out there are double buffered. A rendering context is a structure that keeps track of all of our resources, basically every thing we want to put on the screen. Fullscreen sdl will attempt to use a fullscreen mode. Without double buffering, sdl wont even try to sync. However if you are already doing this i would suspect some other issue is at. In order to combat the issues with reading from while drawing to the same buffer, double buffering, at a minimum, is employed.

Lazy foo productions getting an image on the screen.

All drawing will take place on the surface that is not displayed at the moment. By default, most lowlevel 2d apis will use a triple buffer scheme that wastes no cpu time on waiting for vsync after issuing a flip, but introduces a frame of latency. Sprite batching and similar techniques are indeed the fastest and are best implemented at the open gl level, and so it is not directly an sdl issue.

Any tutorial series needs to start somewhere, and this one is no different. Yeah this is known as audio latency and is unavoidable with how software audio buffering works.

Apart from initialization, using opengl within sdl is the same as using opengl with any other api, e. To get you started, we will begin with an introduction into the sdl simple direct media layer, and glew libraries. Calling sdl videoflip will flip the buffers and update the screen. The best you can do with a software mixer is minimize the latency by using a smaller buffer chunk size as peter87 suggested, but of course that increases the risk of buffer underrun. If you currently using the software rendering system this. If the driver doesnt support retrace sync, or its been disabled, double buffering provided its still hw page flipping.
