Exposed function=============================================================== SMELT* smGetInterface(int apilevel) Returns an interface to the SMELT core functions if the apilevel matches the internal one, otherwise it returns NULL. Packaged SMELT core functions================================================== All these functions are packaged in the class "SMELT". void smRelease() [core] Release one reference to the SMELT core. Once all references are released, the core will commit suicide and all resources used by it will be freed. bool smInit() [core] Initialize the SMELT interface, including the OpenGL/Direct3D interfaces, the OpenAL interfaces and the input interfaces. Functions from these interfaces won't function until smInit() is called. The application window will also be created. If the interfaces are initialized successfully, this function returns true, otherwise it returns false. The errors are written to stderr and the log file if set. void smFinale() [core] Deinitialize the SMELT interface. This function closes the application window and frees all resources managed by SMELT. void smMainLoop() [core] Starts the main loop, which calls UpdateFunc/FocFunc/UnFocFunc/QuitFunc at proper occasion. This function requires the UpdateFunc set and the initialization of the SMELT interface. void smUpdateFunc(smHook func) [core] Sets the update function. The update function returns bool and takes no parameters. If the update function returns true, the main loop will break, otherwise the main loop runs perpetually. The update function is called every frame. void smUnFocFunc(smHook func) [core] Sets the unfocus function. The unfocus function is called when the application window loses focus. void smFocFunc(smHook func) [core] Sets the focus function. The focus functions is called when the application window gains focus. void smWinTitle(const char* title) [core] Sets the application window title. The default title is "untitled". bool smIsActive() [core] Returns true if the application window has focus. void smNoSuspend(bool para) [core] By default, the update function won't be called when the application window doesn't have focus (para=false). Call this with para=true to make SMELT behave differently. void smVidMode(int resX,int resY,bool _windowed) [core] Sets the application video mode. The default mode is 800 x 600 fullscreen. Inappropriate values may cause the failure of smInit().

The values would be clamped to the range given above. float smSFXGetLengthf(SMSFX fx) [core/SFX] Gets the sound length in seconds. DWORD smSFXGetLengthd(SMSFX fx) [core/SFX] Gets the sound length in samples. void smSFXSetLoopPoint(SMSFX fx,DWORD l,DWORD r) [core/SFX] Sets the loop point of a SFX. The loop points will be used when the fx is played with loop=true. The loop points are expressed in samples. By default, the whole SFX is looped. This function uses AL_SOFT_loop_points and may not work if SMELT isn't built against OpenAl Soft. void smSFXFree(SMSFX fx) [core/SFX] Releases the sound file from memory. The handle will be invalid thereafter. void smChannelVol(SMCHN chn,int vol) [core/SFX] Sets channel volume (0~100). void smChannelPan(SMCHN chn,int pan) [core/SFX] Sets channel panning (-100~100). void smChannelPitch(SMCHN chn,float pitch) [core/SFX] Sets channel pitch. void smChannelPause(SMCHN chn) [core/SFX] Pauses the channel. void smChannelResume(SMCHN chn) [core/SFX] Resumes the paused channel. void smChannelStop(SMCHN chn) [core/SFX] Stops the channel.

If multiple keys are pressed, the last pressed one counts. bool smGetInpEvent(smInpEvent *e) [core/input] Gets a event from the input queue. The input parameter will be set to point the event. If there are no events in the input queue, this function will return false. bool smRenderBegin2D(bool ztest=0,SMTRG trg=0) [core/GFX] Starts rendering a 2D scene. Set ztest to true if you want to use the z coordinate to control overlapping. Set trg to the desired rendering target to render everything to the target. The function resets the camera.

Each float vector should countain three elements. The panning is Euler rotation (all in degrees). If any of the vectors is NULL, the function will reset the camera. The behaviour of the function is undefined in a 2D rendering session. void sm2DCamera5f3v(float *pos,float *dpos,float *rot) [core/GFX/Rendering] Sets the 2D camera transformation. pos should contain two elements describing the camera position. dpos should countain two elements describing the rotation centre. rot is the pointer to a single float describing the rotation (in degrees). If any of the vectors is NULL, the function will reset the camera. The behaviour of the function is undefined in a 3D rendering session. void smMultViewMatrix(float *mat) [core/GFX/Rendering] Provides direct manipulation on the view matrix. You can use "look at" matrix here, for example. The matrix the same as the matrix defined in smMatrix, but stored in float. (That's fairly stupid...) void smClrscr(DWORD color) [core/GFX/Rendering] Clears the screen/rendering target with color. Alpha channel is not applicable. void smRenderLinefd(float x1,float y1,float z1,float x2,float y2,float z2,DWORD color) [core/GFX/Rendering] Renders a line from (x1,y1,z1) to (x2,y2,z2) in the given color.

Grid sample: +-----+-----+ | | | | | | | | | +-----+-----+ | | | | | | | | | +-----+-----+ This is a simple 3*3 grid, undistorted. If we fit a texture onto it we will see a rectangle with that texture. Now we can distort it like this: +-----+-----+ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +-----+-----+ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +-----+-----+ If we fit a texture onto this grid, we will see a parallelogram (probably glitched because it's only a 3*3 grid). The grid looks better when the resolution is higher. With this extension we can implement water/lens/wrapping effect and curved lasers easily. The indicatorCircular in the smIndicator extension is also implemented with smGrid. Public members of smGrid: -Default construction op (int,int) This construction op requires the column&row count of the grid. -Copy construction op(const smGrid ©) Constructs a new smGrid copying the given one. -Default destuction op. -operator = -void render(float x,float y) Renders the grid at (x,y).

The value should be within 0..1. smMath========================================================================= The extension provides several math routines. Common math routines: double smMath::deg2rad(double deg) converts degree to radian double smMath::rad2deg(double deg) converts radian to degree double smMath::clamprad(double a) clamps the given angle to [0,2*PI] double smMath::clampdeg(double a) clamps the given angle to [0,360] 2D Vector: smvec2d double x,y coordinates Constructor(double,double) constructs the vector with the given coordinates Default constructor double l() returns the length of the vector void normalize() normalizes the vector smvec2d getNormalized() returns the normalized vector void swap() swaps the x,y coordinates void rotate(double rad) rotate the vector by rad radians smvec2d getRotate(double rad) returns the rotated vector smvec2d operator - + smvec2d/double operator * scalar/(length of) cross product double operator | point product double operator ^ angle between the vectors 3D Vector: smvec3d double x,y,z coordinates Constructor(double,double,double) constructs the vector with the given coordinates Constructor(smvec2d) constructs the vector from the 2d vector with z=0 Default constructor double l() returns the length of the vector void normalize() normalizes the vector smvec3d getNormalized() returns the normalized vector smvec3d operator - + smvec3d operator * scalar/cross product smvec3d operator | point product double operator ^ angle between the vectors Transformation matrix: smMatrix double m[16] sf 0 1 2 3 0 00 04 08 12 1 01 05 09 13 2 02 06 10 14 3 03 07 11 15 Default constructor Copy constructor operator [] with this you can access the matrix like (smMatrix)a[col][row] void clear() sets the whole matrix to 0 void loadIdentity() sets the matrix to the identity matrix void rotate(double,double,double,double) rotates the vector by (a,x,y,z) where a is the rotation angle in radians and (x,y,z) is the rotation axis. void lookat(double *eye,double *at,double *up) all vectors have three elements. This function produces a "look at" matrix. When the identity view matrix is multiplied by the "look at" matrix, it seems that you are at the "eye" position, looking at the "at" opsition. The up vector is used to determine the pitch of the camera. operator * Matrix-matrix multiplication. operator * Matrix-vector multiplication. smProgresser=================================================================== The extension implements several progressers useful for making transitions. All progressers work in the same way: it returns a value within [a,b] according to the current progress. All progresser have these functions publicly accessible: void init(double _a,double _b,double _lim,[additional parameters]) Initializes the progresser with a=_a, b=_b and maximum progress _lim. void launch() Launch the progresser. This function actually resets the progresser. void update(double delta) Updates the progress with delta value delta. bool isDone() Check if the progresser has completed its progress. double getValue() Gets the current progresser value. double getPercentage() Gets the current progress percentage(always linear). double getDelta() Gets the current delta between progresser value and a. double getElapsed() Gets the current elapsed progress. Currently two types of progressers are implemented. -smProgresserLinear Normal linear progresser. -smProgresserCurve Curve progresser. This progresser requires an additional parameter to Initialize, which is the radius of the curve. The bigger abs(curvepara) is, the steeper the progressing curve will be. If curvepara=0, it will act as the linear progresser. The sign of the parameter controls the bending direction of the curve. smRandom======================================================================= The extension implements a pseudo random number generator. Pseudo random number generator always generates the same sequence of number provided that the seed and the calling sequence is the same. Public members of smRandomEngine void setSeed(unsigned int seed) Sets the random seed. The seed affects the next number generated. int nextInt(int min,int max) Generate a random integer. The seed is updated too. Please note that max is not necessarily greater than min. double nextDouble(double min,double max) Generate a random double. The seed is updated too. Please note that max is not necessarily greater than min. smTTFont======================================================================= The extension implements a freetype interface for SMELT. Two classes are implemented: smTTChar and smTTFont. smTTChar is implemented for internal use and should not be used outside the smTTFont class. Class smTTFont provides all interfaces for font rendering. smTTFont uses std::map to cache character glyphs. The cache is manually managed by the application. A cache too large in size may cause lags. Public members of smTTFont: -bool loadTTF(const char* path,int pt) Loads a font from the given path. pt is used as the size of the font in points. -bool loadTTFFromMemory(char* ptr,DWORD size,int pt) Loads a font from the given memory block. pt is used as the size of the font in points. -void releaseTTF() Clear the cache and release the loaded font. -float getWidth() -float getHeight() Gets the width/height of the buffered string. The buffered string is modified by the updateString function. -void updateString(const wchar_t *format,...) Update the buffered string. Update the buffer only when you need to do so because this function is relatively slow. '\n' is processed correctly. If a char is in the internal cache, it will be reused. Otherwise it will be added to the cache. -void render(float x,float y,DWORD col,int align) Renders the buffered string. The align mode ALIGN_CENTER is not supported. (x,y) defines the top-left coordinate of the rendered text when using ALIGN_LEFT while it defines the bottom-right coordinate when using ALIGN_RIGHT. col defines the color of the rendered text. -DWORD getCacheSize() Gets the internal cache size. It is advised to keep the cache size relatively low, generally below 100 thousand. -void clearCache() Clear the internal cache.
