captain

2.6/captain.adept is an API for doing basic 2D graphics.

This file is only supported on Windows, MacOS, and x86_64-ELF GNU-Linux.

Overview

Smallest App

This app creates an empty window with no title.

import captain

func main {
    captStart()
}

Example App

This app loads a texture sprite.png and draws it where the mouse cursor is.

pragma compiler_version '2.5'

import where
import basics
import captain

struct GlobalApplicationData (
    sprite CaptTexture,
    target_x float,
    target_y float
)
globals GlobalApplicationData

func main {
    // Configure Window
    captAlwaysOnTop(true)
    
    // Hook Callbacks
    captOnSetup(func &onSetup)
    captOnExit(func &onExit)
    captOnStep(func &onStep)
    captOnDraw(func &onDraw)
    
    // Start main application loop
    captStart('My Window Title', 640, 480, /*fullscreen*/ false)
}

func onSetup {
    // (Called before first iteration of main application loop)

    // Load texture from "sprite.png" in the current directory
    // NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    // For small pixel art,     using 'captTexture(filename, false)' is better
    // For large non-pixel art, using 'captTexture(filename, true) ' is better
    // We'll assume 'sprite.png' is pixel art, so we'll disable smooth blending with 'false'

    globals.sprite = captTexture(where() + "sprite.png", /*true == smooth blending, false == nearest pixel*/ false)
    
    // Show an error message if the texture couldn't be loaded
    unless globals.sprite.isValid() {
        printf("ERROR: Failed to load '%Ssprite.png'\n", where())
    }

    // Change the view to a custom view if desired
    // The most common is 'captCustomViewBasedOnHeight', which will
    // have a fixed amount of units represent the height of the view
    // and a variable number of units represent the width of the view.
    // So
    //    captViewWidth()  == 480.0f * aspect_ratio
    //    captViewHeight() == 480.0f
    captCustomViewBasedOnHeight(480.0f)

    // NOTE: 'captDefaultView()' is the same as
    // 'captCustomViewBasedOnHeight(480.0f)' when using '2.6/captain.adept'.
    // Other options include:
    // - captCustomView(width, height)

    // If no custom view is set, then captDefaultView() will be used.
    // The view can be changed even after `onSetup`.
}

func onExit {
    // Called when main application loop exits
    globals.sprite.destroy()
}

func onStep {
    // (Called once per frame before rendering)

    // Set globals.target_x and globals.target_y to the mouse position (in view coords)
    // We will use these values later inside `onDraw`
    captMouseViewPosition(&globals.target_x, &globals.target_y)

    // Don't allow globals.target_x and globals.target_y to be outside the window
    globals.target_x = clamp(globals.target_x, 0.0f, captViewWidth() as float)
    globals.target_y = clamp(globals.target_y, 0.0f, captViewHeight() as float)
}

func onDraw {
    // Called once per frame to draw graphics
    center_x float = globals.target_x
    center_y float = globals.target_y
    width float = 256.0f
    height float = 256.0f
    captDrawTexture(globals.sprite, center_x - width / 2.0f, center_y - height / 2.0f, width, height)
}

Functions

  • func captPrepare() successful

    Initializes the captain API.

    Invoking this is optional, since other setup-related procedures for captain will automatically take care of it.

    De-initialization of the API is handled automatically inside of captStart.

    [view src]

  • func captStart(in fullscreen bool = false) void

    Starts captain by initializing the window.

    [view src]

  • func captOnSetup(in on_setup_func func() void) void

    Sets the on-setup function for the app.

    The on-setup function will be called before the any other callbacks. It should be used for loading textures and other operations that require captain to be running. Resources allocated in the on-setup function that need to be destroyed should be destroyed in the on-exit function.

    [view src]

  • func captOnExit(in on_exit_func func() void) void

    Sets the on-exit function for the app.

    The on-exit function will be the last callback invoked. It should be used to destroy resources that need to be destroyed before captain exits.

    [view src]

  • func captOnDraw(in on_draw_func func() void) void

    Sets the on-draw function for the app.

    The on-draw function will be called each frame after the on-step function. It should be used to draw textures and other drawables.

    [view src]

  • func captOnStep(in on_step_func func() void) void

    Sets the on-step function for the app.

    The on-step function will be called each frame before the on-draw function. It should be used to perform app logic.

    [view src]

  • func captOnStep(in on_step_func func() void, in step_fps uint) void

    Sets the on-step function for the app.

    The on-step function will be called each frame (step_fps times a second) before the on-draw function. It should be used to perform app logic. If step_fps is zero, then the step fps will be practically unbounded.

    [view src]

  • func captOnClick(in on_click_func func(float, float, int) void, use_mouse_view_coords bool) void

    Sets the on-click function for the app.

    The on-click function will be called when a mouse button is clicked. The first two parameters of the callback are the x and y of the mouse click. The third parameter of the callback is which mouse button was pressed (1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is middle, etc.). If use_mouse_view_coords is true, then the mouse coordinates supplied to the callback will be in view coords (units) instead of frame coords (pixels).

    [view src]

  • func captOnRelease(in on_release_func func(float, float, int) void, use_mouse_view_coords bool) void

    Sets the on-release function for the app.

    The on-release function will be called when a mouse button is released. The first two parameters of the callback are the x and y of the mouse. The third parameter of the callback is which mouse button was released (1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is middle, etc.). If use_mouse_view_coords is true, then the mouse coordinates supplied to the callback will be in view coords (units) instead of frame coords (pixels).

    [view src]

  • func captOnKey(in on_key_func func(int, int, int, int) void) void

    Sets the on-key function for the app.

    The on-key function will be called when a key is pressed/released/repeated. The parameters to the callback are:

    • key - Which key was pressed (e.g. GLFW_KEY_W)
    • scancode - Platform-specific unique key identifier
    • action - How the key event was triggered (e.g. GLFW_PRESS, GLFW_RELEASE, GLFW_REPEAT)
    • mods - Modifier keys (e.g. GLFW_MOD_SHIFT, GLFW_MOD_CONTROL, GLFW_MOD_ALT, GLFW_MOD_SUPER, GLFW_MOD_CAPS_LOCK, GLFW_MOD_NUM_LOCK)

    [view src]

  • func captOnChar(in on_char_func func(uint) void) void

    Sets the on-character function for the app.

    The on-character function will be called when a character is typed. The parameters to the callback are:

    • codepoint - Native Endian UTF-32 Character

    [view src]

  • func captOnScroll(in on_scroll_func func(float, float) void) void
