sdlx - A C++ SDL2 Extension and Toolkit

sdlx is a library that makes it easier to create applications with SDL2. The library provides classes such as window, text, image, and audio classes to easily create advanced games and programs.

Features

• Simple interface for creating and running a window
• Images, textboxes, rectangles, and audio
• Lambda event callbacks for SDL2 events and mouse clicks
• Customizable, lightweight, and easy-to-use

Installation

To use sdlx, include all the files in the library to your project. You'll need SDL2 and miniaudio (for audio). After that, include app.h.

Example

Here's an ultimate example for this toolkit:

App app;

app.Create("SDLX Example", 1216, 768); // Create a window with a title, width, and height (in pixels)
app.SetBackground({255, 255, 255, 255});
app.SetMusic("./example.mp3"); // Set the background music

app.Event([&](SDL_Event event) {
    switch (event.type) {
      // Handle SDL2 events
    }
    return true; // Return true to keep the loop callback, false to delete it from the application's list
});

// An example of adding a rectangle from this toolkit to the application
TkRect Banner;
Banner.x = 0;
Banner.y = 0;
Banner.w = 4.8 * 96;
Banner.h = .3 * 96;
Banner.color = { 114,137,218 }; // SDL2_Color
app.AddItem(Banner);

// ...Add more items here (like images, textboxes, and audio)

app.Start(); // This starts the application window. Use a thread if you want to reach code after this

That's All

If you have any issues, feel free to create an issue or contact me. I plan on improving the code example, but this library will probably not be updated. Thanks!
