From ClanLib Game SDK

[edit] Remember when releasing

• Change configure.ac - AC_INIT(ClanLib, 2.x.y) and CLANLIB_MINOR_VERSION=x CLANLIB_MICRO_VERSION=y
• Change API/Core.h - CL_VERSION_STRING and CL_CURRENT_VERSION
• If changing the MINOR or MAJOR version: Also change each Makefile.am found inside the subdirectories of Sources

[edit] General

• Investigate using http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/ "The goal of ANGLE is to allow Windows users to seamlessly run WebGL content by translating OpenGL ES 2.0 API calls to DirectX 9 API calls." for ClanLib

[edit] Linux

• Implement icons - http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2507733
• "ideally you'd also support _NET_WM_PING, WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and _NET_WM_PID that way a linux user can kill our app like in Windows if it goes unresponsive"

[edit] Docs

• Overview: Add Display Target info
• GUI: This document should be updated (still uses old method to initialize gui, etc)
• Porting guide: CL_String::tokenize -> split
• Database: write about command.get_output_last_insert_rowid.
• Update the ReferenceDocs utility. You cannot distinguish between static member public functions and normal public functions

[edit] Core

• CL_Mat4<float>::scale_self and CL_Mat4<float>::translate_self SSE2 code has been disabled because it does not work.
• CL_Directory::get_resourcedata() needs fixing on linux. (See API docs)
• Add thread safety to CL_Logger:

  The three places the vector is accessed needs to be mutex locked

  (add a static CL_Mutex to the class, CL_MutexSection the three places its used)

• If you do "CL_ConsoleLogger logger; logger.enable();" it will have two instances of logging!
• With a (xml) buffer with an ø in it, the following fails to tokenize correctly:

  (used from a NetGameEvent, with a string argument with an ø)

 CL_IODevice_Memory iodevice_memory(buffer);
 CL_DomDocument doc;
 doc.load(iodevice_memory);

[edit] GL1 Texture (NPOT)

• CL_GL1TextureProvider::set_subimage() copies the image edges into the unused part of the texture, so linear filtering works correctly

  However: This needs corrected. It should be optimised and currently it does not write to the lower right quadrant

  Also other GL1 set image functions should contain this fix.

[edit] Display

• Modifying existing display window

  Is this function required: void CL_Win32Window::modify_window(const CL_DisplayWindowDescription &desc)

  Adds extra complexity, to modify a window that has already been created. Should we force the user, to call set_size() etc manually.

  This function is not supported in linux.

• Its strange that every image thing has the constructor: CL_Blah(graphicsContext, resName, resources), except CL_Texture, which looks like CL_Texture(resName, resources, graphicsContext)

[edit] Friends

• Check all friends are friends for the correct reason.

  For example, if we do:

  CL_Service create_service( CL_Service service("service_name"); return service; )

  This would crash, as CL_Service_Impl makes a local pointer copy of CL_Service, that may change.

[edit] GUI Editor

• Finish property editor

[edit] Texture Packer

• Finish CSS packer
• Code tool that loads an image, displays the collision outline, lets you change the detail level, and save .col file.

[edit] SWRender

• gc.clear() does not work when the clip rect is set. Should be modified to call: "CL_Draw::fill(gc, clip_rect, ...);" if clip rect is set

[edit] Sound

• The CL_SoundSSE class filename is misleading, because it now supports non SSE2 code (via a CL_DISABLE_SSE2 define)

[edit] GUI

• The gui cache should add itself to the disposable list, instead of using that signal thing it uses now
• Part layout
• Important component issues:
  • ProgressBar!
• Less important component issues:
  • Checkbox draw something wrong? (compare with vista screenshot, especially disabled)
  • Checkbox support excluded and implicit
  • Combobox: Line edit doesn't use hot state visually
  • Groupbox - no clickthrough
  • Frame vs GroupBox - whats the difference - do we need both?
  • Lineedit - use readonly and focused gfx
  • Lineedit - set states on parts (hot doesn't show)
  • Lineedit - selecting with mouse when there is only one char is difficult
  • Popupmenu separator part is too short
  • Scrollbar trackarea and buttonarea overlap with 1 pixel
  • Scrollbar buttons should use separate glyph part
  • Slider - thumb size for horizontal is too small (compare to vertical)
  • Slider - support focused
  • Spin - disabled state is not shown visually
  • Tab - redo parts so we won't have to use header_border, and resizing of active tagpage part
  • ToolBar: You cannot switch between horizontal and Vertical Toolbar
  • ToolBar: It would be nice to be able to attach a component to the toolbar, like CL_StatusBar
  • Window - texture wm - clicking on window client area does not bring it to front
  • Window close/min/max/etc buttons should use separate glyph part

[edit] D3D9

1. Create a hidden window and create a Direct3DDevice9 for it
2. Create all textures on this device
3. For each CL_DisplayWindow, it creates an additional swap chain
4. The CL_GraphicContext for each window shares the same Direct3DDevice, and thus shares states (oh no, now we are f**ked)
5. When you call flip() or update() on the display window, it calls Present on the swap chain
6. When you resize the window, it destroys the swap chain and creates a new one
7. If we had fullscreen support, it would destroy the swap chain and create a fullscreen one
8. If the fullscreen window loses focus, we have to manually destroy the fullscreen swap chain and hide
