SDL Handmade

This is an implementation of a SDL platform layer for Handmade Hero, based on David Gow's excellent SDL port Handmade Penguin.

The following notable changes has been made to Handmade Penguin:

• Updated to work with Casey's latest source code (at least for now)
• Added looped live code editing and multithreading support
• Uses SDL_QueueAudio instead of a ring buffer
• Restructured sdl_handmade to make it easy to compare to win32_handmade

Build process

You will need the Handmade Hero source code for the platform-independent game code and the game assets. Pre-order the game to get these.

Copy the Handmade Hero source files into sdl_handmade/code/ and copy the Handmade Hero test assets into sdl_handmade/data/.

Compile it with ./build.sh and run it with ./handmade.sh.

Things to do

• Clean-up audio code
• Correct mouse X/Y input according to image offset and stretching
• Support 32 bit build
