pl_ZenGL

It's a fork of ZenGL library to CodeTyphon Studio.

ZenGL is cross-platform game development library written in Pascal.
Designed to provide necessary functionality for rendering 2D-graphics, handling input, sound output, etc

Features

  • Main
    • can be used as so/dll/dylib or statically compiled with your application
    • rendering to own or any other prepared window
    • logging
    • resource loading from files, memory and zip archives
    • multithreaded resource loading
    • easy way to add support for new resource format
  • Configuration of
    • antialiasing, screen resolution, refresh rate and vertical synchronization
    • aspect correction
    • title, position and size of window
    • cursor visibility in window space
  • Input
    • handling keyboard, mouse and joystick input

    • possibility to restrict the input to the Latin alphabet
  • Textures
    • supports tga, png, jpg and pvr
    • correct work with NPOT textures
    • control the filter parameters

    • rendering static and animated sprites and tiles
    • rendering distortion grid
    • rendering sprites with new texture coordinates(with the pixel dimension and the usual 0..1)
    • control the blend mode and color mix mode
    • control the color and alpha of vertices of sprites and primitives
    • additional sprite transformations(flipping, zooming, vertices offset)
    • fast clipping of invisible sprites
    • 2D camera with ability to zoom and rotate the scene
  • Sound
    • works through OpenAL or DirectSound, depends on configuration or OS
    • correct work without soundcard

    • basic set of additional math functions
    • triangulation functions
    • basic set of collision functions
  • Additional
    • reading and writing ini-files
    •  functions for work with files and memory
