Thread: curve in C & SDL

Are you ready enough to have read through the example programs on the SDL home page?

There's also an SDL forum you can find via the SDL homepage.

How are you going to do this, using SDL, without learning SDL? If you are okay with C, I am sure it will not take you more than 4-10 hours to figure this out. If you are no good with C, then just looking at someone else's example will not help you (and I am positive there are a ton of such examples available on the web anyway). Altho actually drawing a 2D curve using trig is dead simple, graphics libraries are not completely trivial to initialize and use.

Since you haven't started yet, I'd recommend openGL instead for stuff like this (just an opinion).

Code:

#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/glext.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

#define VOL 100
#define GL_PI 3.1415f

void scene() {
	GLfloat i;
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
	glColor4f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
	glPointSize(10.0f);
	glBegin(GL_POINTS);
		glVertex3i(0,0,0);
	glEnd();
	glColor4f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
	glPointSize(2.0f);
	glBegin(GL_POINTS);					/* creates an oval */
	for (i=0.0; i<(2.0*GL_PI); i+=0.1) glVertex3f(sin(i)*20.0,cos(i)*10.0,0.0);
	glEnd();
	glutSwapBuffers();
}


void setup(float R, float G, float B) {
	GLdouble N=0-VOL;
	glClearColor(R,G,B,1.0f);
	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
	glOrtho(N,VOL,N,VOL,N,VOL);
	glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
	glLoadIdentity();
}
	 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	glutInit(&argc,argv);
	glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH);
        glutInitWindowSize(600,600);
	glutCreateWindow("openGL test");
	glutDisplayFunc(scene);

	setup(0.0,0.0,0.0);

	glutMainLoop();
	return 0;
}

If you just want someone to write the code for you, try "rent-a-coder".

Oh, well, if it's urgent, then that puts a whole different slant on it.
