REALbasic Open Source Releases

GL Declares Version 1.1.1

Wed 03/06/2009 19:06:15

The GL Declares library makes the power of OpenGL available to REALbasic. Unlike RBGL, our other OpenGL project, the GL Declares library makes no attempt to hide the complexity of OpenGL, and instead provides low-level access to all its features. We've included a simple cross-platform GLCanvas class to get you started, but the rest is up to you.

Release Notes:

[fix] Fixed glLight function declares

RBGL3D Version 0.2.2

Sun 09/05/2009 10:34:02

The RBGL3D library is a re-implementation of the deprecated REALbasic RB3DSpace control. RBGL3D is still in the early stages, but eventually we hope to replicate all the original RB3DSpace functionality.

Release Notes:

[fix] Fixed a bug that caused x86 builds (Mac and Windows) to crash even though they worked fine in the IDE. Seems to be a RB bug relating to setting Single values via pointers (Thanks to Josh Alkoff for reporting it).

RBGLSprites Version 1.2.1

Mon 10/11/2008 20:00:13

The RBGLSprites module is a complete re-implementation of the REALbasic SpriteSurface using the RBGL classes as a base. Like the RBGLCanvas and RBGLGraphics classes, RBGLSpriteSurface is designed to mimic the behaviour of the existing control. Includes examples.

Release Notes:

[fix] Fixed a longstanding bug in the Sprite collision code that would cause part of the collision region not to register if the mask contained multiple independent collidable regions.
[opt] Improved collision efficiency for long, thin sprites by comparing bounding rectangles instead of bounding circles in some cases (prior to resorting to per-pixel collision testing).

RBGL3D Version 0.2.1

Release Notes:

[chg] Updated to include RBGL version 1.6.2

RBGLSprites Version 1.2

Sat 08/11/2008 13:59:32

Links: About | RSS | Download | SVN

Release Notes:

[opt] Significantly improved collision detection performance for large numbers of sprites by using a radix sorting algorithm to sort by group.
[new] Added Paint event to RBGLSprite class which can be used to draw arbitrary content into the surface on top of the sprite, such as special effects or text.
[new] Added CollisionMask property to RBGLSprite class, which allows you to specify a separate image to use for collision detection which may differ from its visible shape.
[new] When running in Async mode the RBGLSpriteSurface now uses a thread instead of a timer for increased performance on Mac OS. You can specify the priority at which the thread will run as an additional optional parameter for the RBGLSpriteSurface.Run method. On Windows a timer is still used by default because the app crashes on quit if a thread is running.
[fix] When RBGLSprite.DebugCollisions is enabled, collision wireframes are now drawn in the correct place when the surface is scrolled.
[new] Added CanCollideWith method to RBGLSprite class.
[opt] Improved performance slightly by not drawing sprites that are off-screen.
[fix] SpriteSurface will no longer halt unexpectedly when another application if user quits another application whilst it is running.
[chg] App.DoEvents is no longer used when running the RBGLSurface in synchronous mode as it caused crashes on quit in Windows. This means ths the interface will freeze up, but this is consistent with the REALbasic SpriteSurface behaviour.
[fix] Fixed a bug in the private_sprite_collider class that could lead to incorrect bounding radii being calculated for sprites.
[chg] Upgraded RBGL library to version 1.6.2, which fixes a number of image rendering issues.

RBGL Version 1.6.2

Sat 08/11/2008 13:57:10

A simple interface for drawing using OpenGL that works on Mac OS and Windows using pure REALbasic code without any plugins. Includes easy-to-use OpenGL Canvas and Graphics classes that exactly replicate the built-in REALbasic objects, making it easy to port existing projects.

Release Notes:

[fix] Fixed a glitch when drawing images with ScaleToPowerOfTwo setting

RBGL Version 1.6.1

Sat 08/11/2008 08:59:16

Links: About | RSS | Download | SVN

Release Notes:

[fix] Fixed an issue when drawing non-cached images.
[fix] Fixed a bug in the caching mechanism that caused the cache limit to be ignored unless set to zero.
[fix] Fixed a rendering glitch when generating textures from 16-bit images.

RBGL Version 1.6

Fri 07/11/2008 12:44:14

Links: About | RSS | Download | SVN

Release Notes:

[new] Added a new constructor to the RBGLContext class for creating offscreen drawing contexts. Currently this only works correctly on Mac OS (beta feature).
[new] The RBGLContext.IsExtensionSupported method now also checks for WGL extensions (Windows only).
[fix] RBGLPictures no longer have a white halo when the source image has the Transparent property set and has dimensions that are not a power of two.
[fix] RBGL methods no longer crash when called from within a thread.
[fix] RBGLCanvas.Visible property is now respected.
[fix] RBGLContextOptions.DepthBufferBits property now works correctly on Mac OS.
[chg] RBGLContextOptions.DepthBufferBits now defaults to zero as the depth buffer is not used by any of the RBGL classes or methods. You can override this in the Init method of RBGLCanvas if you wish to use the depth buffer.
[imp] RBGLContext now uses AGL_SWAP_INTERVAL on Mac OS to sync with the display refresh and eliminate tearing and flicker.
[chg] RBGLPicture objects no longer stretch the source image dimensions to a power-of-two by default - the image is padded instead. This eliminates the fuzziness caused by scaling.
[new] RBGLPicture constructors now take an optional RBGLPictureOptions parameter that allows you to specify features such as wrapping mode and mip-mapping.
[chg] Removed the MipMap parameter from the RBGLPicture constructor - use the Options parameter instead.
[fix] Fixed bug in RBGLPicture constructor that would assume white pixels should be treated as transparent if the image format was set to RGBA.
[opt] RBGLPicture constructor now checks if image contains any white pixels and only uses RGBA format by default if it does, even if the Picture.Transparent property is set on the source image. This improves performance for opaque images, particularly when used with the RBGL3D library.

RBGL3D Version 0.2

Fri 31/10/2008 21:29:32

Links: RSS | Download | SVN

Release Notes:

[new] Added all missing methods and functionality for RBGLVectorList, RBGLColorList, RBGLUVList and RBGLTriangleList.
[new] Implemented Ambient and Floodlight.
[new] Trimesh vertex colours are now rendered correctly.
[new] Normals are now automatically generated if not specified explicitly for Trimeshes.
[new] Polygon BackFaces are no longer drawn unless the RBGLElement3D.RenderBackFaces property is set to true.
[fix] Fixed bug in RBGLTrimesh when resizing vertex list on enabling/disabling properies.
[new] Implementented RBGLQuaternion.SetBetween method.
[fix] Fixed bug in RBGLVector3D.Cross method.
[chg] Removed RBGLColorList.Enabled property as it does not appear to exist in the ColorList class despite appearing in the language reference.
[fix] Changed type of RBGLSpace.Floodlight property to RBGLVector3D (was Vector3D).
[chg] Removed constructor for RBGLElement for compatibility with projects that extend the RBGLElement class.
[fix] Accessing RBGLElement3D.Scale method now uses correct algorithm to get average of ScaleVector.
[chg] Accessing RBGLElement3D methods will no longer crash if Position, Orientation or Scale are set to nil. The original Element3D would crash under these circumstances, but it is more user friendly if it doesn't and has negligable impact on performance.
[new] Added Set method to RBGLVector3D.
[new] Added Copy method to RBGLMatrix.
[new] Added Equals method to RBGLVector3D for testing if two vectors are approximately the same, and overloaded operators for more elegant vector arithmetic.
[chg] RBGLQuaternion.GetMatrix now returns a copy of the matrix, so it cannot be altered.
[new] Added various missing properties and methods.

GL Declares Version 1.1

Sat 11/10/2008 17:44:32

[fix] Fixed wrong paramter type in glClearDepth declare.
[new] Added missing glEndList function.
[fix] Corrected error in glTexImage2D function.
[new] Added all missing WGL functions apart from wglRealizeLayerPalette, wglGetLayerPaletteEntries and wglSetLayerPaletteEntries.
[new] Added gluPerpective, gluOrtho2D and gluLookAt functions.

Explosion Generator Version 1.3

Tue 30/09/2008 20:32:22

This is a 2D particle-based explosion generator. It generates near-photo-realistic explosions complete with debris particles and smoke. The explosion is rendered in real time using OpenGL.
