ANNOUNCE: HOpenGL 1.02 released
by Sven Panne 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

HOpenGL, a Haskell binding for OpenGL and GLUT version 1.02 I am pleased to announce the thirteenth release of the Haskell binding for GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3 / GLUT 3.7beta. It offers easy access to *the* industrial strength 3D graphics API and a GUI toolkit. More details about HOpenGL can be found at http://haskell.org/HOpenGL This is a mainly a compatibility release for >= GHC-5.x, including some minor extensions. What's new: * Added support for 3D textures: texImage3D, texSubImage3D, copyTexSubImage3D. * Added a "make install" target to add a HOpenGL package to GHC. This makes using HOpenGL much easier: A simple ghc -package HOpenGL --make MyCoolApp.hs is enough for most applications. * GLUT exports its own versions of System.exit{With,Failure} now to avoid GHC's problems of those functions if they were issued during callbacks. * Fixed quite a few library incompatibilities for GHC >= 5.02. * Fixed some minor GLU incompatibilities. * Fixed GLUT game mode exports, so you could actually use it now! :-} * Changed configure to detect the native (i.e. non-Mesa) OpenGL as the default. This is more conforming with the OpenGL ABI spec. * Re-animated --with-hc and --with-green-card configure flags. HOpenGL-1.02 has been tested on the following platforms: * ix86, SuSE Linux 7.3, Mesa 3.4.2, bleeding edge GHC from CVS * ix86, Windows 2000, Cygwin (DLL 1.3.10), NVIDIA DetonatorXP * drivers 28.32, GHC 5.02.3 and 5.03-20020204 * SPARC, Solaris 2.7, Mesa 4.0.2, GHC 5.02.3 It should work on any platform with a recent GHC, too. As always, feedback and/or patches are highly welcome. Have fun! Sven

HC&A Report (May edition)
by C.Reinke 19 Apr '02

19 Apr '02

Hi HOpenGL-ers! May I hope that the activities in this list will be reflected by summaries to be included in the next HC&A Report? - HOpenGL itself - VOP - FunGEn .. others..? If I can book you in, could you please send me a short confirmation? Your 1-2 paragraphs would be due by 30/04/ (see the first edition for lots of examples;-). Cheers, Claus

ANNOUNCE: FunGEn-0.1 released!
by Andre W B Furtado 19 Apr '02

19 Apr '02

----------------------- FunGEn Functional Game Engine ----------------------- I am pleased to announce the first release of FunGEn, a 2D platform-independent game engine implemented in and for Haskell, using HOpenGL. Actually, FunGEn supports: * Initialization, updating, removing, rendering and grouping routines for game objects; * Definition of a game background (or map), including texture-based maps and tile maps; * Reading and intepretation of the player's keyboard input; * Collision detection; * Time-based functions and pre-defined game actions; * Loading and displaying of 24-bit bitmap files; * Some debugging and game performance evaluation facilities; * Sound support (actually for windows platforms only... :-[ ) You can download and find more info about FunGEn in: http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~haskell/fungen Your feedback is highly welcome! Nice coding... -- Andre W B Furtado

After wondering just why genLists returned an empty list, I found that I had to move the call to genLists after createWindow. That meant I had to supply an empty window callback to createWindow (return ()), then allocate and fill my DisplayList, and finally register the proper window callback, with displayFunc. Now I also get the error on termination: e:\home\Haskell\hopengl\Tst.exe: fatal error: GLUT_CBWindow_d7TT: uncaught exception The sources mention that it is illegal to unregister a window callback - is registering a new one a problem? Claus PS. I had to twiddle my configuration slightly, to get HOpenGL (great stuff, Sven, btw;) compiled. From the archive, I gather that those missing commas are greencard-related and well-known, though. config: Win2k Cygwin (recent) GHC-5.02.2 (msi) GreenCard 2.03 (msi) HOpenGL-1.01 problems: figuring out how to escape the space in the GreenCard-path:-) --with-green-card="c:/Program\\ Files\GreenCard\green-card.exe" spaces in some .gc files would cause make depend to fail:-( GLUT_State.gc:217 GLUT_Init.gc:76 GLUT_CBWindow.gc:287 adding commas seems to have solved the issue

HOpenGL 1.02 - release candidate 1
by Sven Panne 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

A new compatibility release for HOpenGL is about to be unleashed, but before it is "officially" announced, I'd like to get some feedback first. Release candidate 1 is available at: http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/HOpenGL-1.02-RC1.tar.gz If no tragic failures are reported, the "real" 1.02 will follow in the next few days. Thanks to all the people who already gave me valuable feedback in the last few months! Cheers, S.

Isn't that an argument against the displayFunc parameter to HOpenGL's createWindow? One could still have a createSimpleWindow or something for simple applications, but why pass and install a null handler if one most certainly needs to replace it soon? > This makes sense perfectly: Remember that you could have multiple Windows, > so the effect of e.g. setting the current to color depends on the current > GLX/OpenGL context. The latter one is created with createWindow, changed > with e.g. setWindow, overlay handling, etc. etc. I was fooled by display lists - while their drawing commands aren't executed until they are called, the implicit state queries that determine how a vertex will appear when drawn are executed at construction time:-( Hence they also suffer from the dependency you describe. Btw, is this foreign import shutdownHaskellAndExit :: Int -> IO () going to be standard Haskell/FFI/xx ? The earlier discussion here mentioned some hs_exit instead, but it wasn't clear whether that would make it into the addendum, either. Ah, the FFI release candidate 3 mentions hs_exit in section "6.1 CForeign" - is that the way to go then? Claus

Exiting gracefully from (H)GLUT?
by Calle Lejdfors 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

Hello. I have recently started using the HOpenGL (version 1.01) under Linux running ghc 5.02.1 and have a question. How do I exit my application gracefully (apart from closing the window). In your examples you use > exitWith ExitSuccess That however causes a: TestGLUT: fatal error: GLUT_CBWindow_d7Tf: uncaught exception Similar error appear in my application. How do I get around this? It does not appear to help to do a destroyWindow before exiting. Any ideas? Thanks, Calle

GLdouble/GLfloat vs. Double/Float
by Andre W B Furtado 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

Hello. If I have f :: a -> (Double, Double) f x = g x but g's signature is g :: a -> (GLdouble,GLdouble) Can I always assume that the result of f will be the same of g (I mean, no truncations, rounding, etc.)? Do I have to use something like: f :: a -> (Double, Double) f x = (realToFrac g1, realToFrac g2) where (g1,g2) = g x I'd like to ask the same question using GLfloat instead of GLdouble and Float instead of Double. Thanks a lot, -- Andre
