SDLx::App - a SDL perl extension

       See "AUTHORS" in SDL.

       "SDLx::App" is a "SDLx::Controller". Use the event, show and handlers to run the app.

         use SDL;
         use SDLx::App;

         use SDL::Event; #Where ever the event call back is processed

         my $app = SDLx::App->new( width => 200, height => 200);

         $app->add_event_handler( sub{
             my ($event, $app) = @_;
             return $_[0]->type == SDL_QUIT ? 0 : 1;
         });

         $app->add_show_handler( sub{
             my ($delta, $app) = @_;
             $app->update;
         } );

         $app->add_move_handler( sub{
             my ($step, $app, $t) = @_;
             #calc your physics here
         } );

         $app->run();

       see SDLx::Controller for more details.

       Extension

       SDLx::App controls the root window of the of your SDL based application.  It extends the SDL::Surface
       class, and provides an interface to the window manager oriented functions.

title()title($new_title)title($window_title,$icon_title)
       "SDLx::App::title"  takes  0,  1,  or  2  arguments.  If  no  parameter  is given, it returns the current
       application window title. If one parameter is passed, both the window title and icon title will be set to
       its value.  If two parameters are passed the window title will be set to the first, and the icon title to
       the second.

   delay($ms)
       "SDLx::App::delay" takes 1 argument, and will sleep the application for that many ms.

   ticks
       "SDLx::App::ticks" returns the number of ms since the application began.

   error
       "SDLx::App::error" returns the last error message set by the SDL.

   resize($width,$height)
       "SDLx::App::resize" takes a new width and height of the application. Only works if  the  application  was
       originally created with the resizable option.

   fullscreen
       "SDLx::App::fullscreen" toggles the application in and out of fullscreen mode.

   iconify
       "SDLx::App::iconify" iconifies the application window.

   grab_input($CONSTANT)
       "SDLx::App::grab_input"  can  be used to change the input focus behavior of the application. It takes one
       argument, which should be one of the following:

       •   SDL_GRAB_QUERY

       •   SDL_GRAB_ON

       •   SDL_GRAB_OFF

   sync
       "SDLx::App::sync" encapsulates the various methods of synchronizing the screen  with  the  current  video
       buffer.  "SDLx::App::sync"  will  do  a  fullscreen  update,  using the double buffer or OpenGL buffer if
       applicable. This is preferred to calling flip on the application window.

   attribute($attr)attribute($attr,$value)
       "SDLx::App::attribute" allows one to get and set GL attributes. By passing a value  in  addition  to  the
       attribute selector, the value will be set. "SDL:::App::attribute" always returns the current value of the
       given attribute, or Carp::confess on failure.

       SDLx::App - a SDL perl extension

       perl SDL::Surface SDL::Event  SDL::OpenGL

perl v5.40.0                                       2024-10-20                               pods::SDLx::App(3pm)

           use SDL;
           use SDLx::App;
           use SDL::Event;
           use SDL::Events;

           my $app = SDLx::App->new(
               title  => 'Application Title',
               width  => 640,
               height => 480,
               depth  => 32
           );

       This is the manual way of doing things

           my $event = SDL::Event->new; # create a new event

           SDL::Events::pump_events();

           while ( SDL::Events::poll_event($event) ) {
               my $type = $event->type(); # get event type
               print $type;
               exit if $type == SDL_QUIT;
           }

       An alternative to the manual Event processing is through the SDLx::Controller module. SDLx::App is a
       Controller so see the CALLBACKS section below.
