tsdl-ttf — SDL2_ttf bindings for OCaml with Tsdl

Tsdl_ttf provides bindings to SDL2_ttf intended to be used with Tsdl.

It has as siblings tsdl-image and tsdl-mixer.

Note that these bindings are at an early stage and have only been used minimally. The interface may change. Comments and bug reports are welcome through the github page.

Installation

Via opam:

opam install tsdl-ttf

or, to get the latest version:

opam pin https://github.com/sanette/tsdl-ttf

Tested on Linux, MacOS, Windows (mingw64)

These bindings use dynamic loading of the SDL2_ttf library at runtime.

They should work for any version of SDL2_ttf >= 2.0.14.

On Windows, before installing, you may need to select this tsdl version:

opam pin https://github.com/sanette/tsdl

Example

See test/test.ml

 cd test
dune exec ./show_string.exe

Documentation

Documentation is here, it can be generated with dune build @doc, (or ./make_doc.sh) but the binding follows the SDL2_ttf interface closely, so it may be sufficient to consult its documentation.

Starting from version 0.3, the library is usable in a toplevel (with #require "tsdl-ttf").

WARNING V0.3 Breaking change

Starting from 0.3, the library name is the same as the opam package name tsdl-ttf. (The library name used to be tsdl_ttf, which was confusing).

CI

(This CI uses the official tsdl. For Windows with the modified tsdl, see the Github actions.)
