A binding of the game and multimedia library SFML for Julia

This is a binding of the C++ game and multimedia library SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library), developed by Laurent Gomila, for Julia. SFML is often used for game development but it can be used for anything graphics-related.

It also has audio libraries and networking libraries.

There is currently almost complete support for graphics, great support for audio, and complete support for network.

SFML.jl works on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.

Take a look at the examples folder to see some usage examples.

For much larger examples (games) see these two examples: Jumping Game and Space Shooter (this one is more complex).

You can view a talk I gave about SFML.jl at JuliaCon 2015 here. All the demos that I used in that talk are available in the JuliaCon-SFML repository.

Installation

To install on any OS, run:

julia> Pkg.add("SFML")

If you want to install the master version use:

julia> Pkg.clone("SFML")
julia> Pkg.build("SFML")

Linux

Please make sure you have Glibc 2.14 installed, and let me know if there are any build problems on Linux (I don't use Linux very much). The Linux binaries don't come with any of the dependencies so you have to install them yourself. Here is the list:

• pthread
• opengl
• xlib
• xrandr
• freetype
• glew
• jpeg
• sndfile
• openal

On Debian you can install the package libsfml-dev which will also install all dependencies. You can also run the commands here (you don't need to install cmake-gui).

Screenshots and Gifs

It is very simple to take a screen shot using SFML. Just use screenshot(window, filename).

You can also take a screenshot and store it in an Image object without saving the image using image = capture(window)

---

To create a gif, you must have imagemagick installed.

Making gifs is only slightly more complicated. You can use the make_gif(window, width, height, duration, filename, delay) function (duration and delay are in seconds).

When you run the program, it will asynchronously create the gif and will give you constant feedback in the console. If you don't see anything in the console, add a sleep(0) declaration at the start of the animation loop to allow Julia time to switch between the processes.

The gif creation is done when it says Created gif XXX.gif.

What has not been bound (yet)

• SoundStreams
• SoundStreamRecorders
• SFML threads (pthreads)
• Transforms

For the first three, we will probably have to wait for Julia to support multithreading.

I was able to fix this by just changing "systemLibPath = /usr/lib" to "systemLibPath = /usr/local/lib" where my sfml files are installed. Thanks!

Crash on calling draw() with non hardware-accelerated OpenGL on Windows

With SFML version 2.2 and non hardware-accelerated OpenGL on Windows, running the SFML examples results in Julia crashing

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.
Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0x0 -- unknown function (ip: 0000000000000000)

In particular, the crash happens when execution reaches the draw() function, e.g. draw(window, line) in line.jl example.

After some investigation, I can confirm that this issue is related to this discussion
http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=17793.0

In fact, I upgraded the SFML binaries to version 2.3 in this fork (https://github.com/ibadr/sfml-binaries), and changed the build.jl script to point there for downloading the SFML binaries, and I was subsequently able to build SFML.jl using these upgraded binaries. Afterwards, the examples run just fine, with some warnings that confirm my speculation, e.g.

Warning: Detected "Microsoft Corporation GDI Generic" OpenGL implementation
The current OpenGL implementation is not hardware-accelerated
Warning: The created OpenGL context does not fully meet the settings that were requested
Requested: version = 2.2 ; depth bits = 0 ; stencil bits = 0 ; AA level = 0 ; core = false ; debug = false
Created: version = 1.1 ; depth bits = 16 ; stencil bits = 8 ; AA level = 0 ; core = false ; debug = false

Info about upcoming removal of packages in the General registry

As described in https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-plans-for-removing-packages-that-do-not-yet-support-1-0-from-the-general-registry/ we are planning on removing packages that do not support 1.0 from the General registry. This package has been detected to not support 1.0 and is thus slated to be removed. The removal of packages from the registry will happen approximately a month after this issue is open.

To transition to the new Pkg system using Project.toml, see https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl#transitioning-from-require-to-projecttoml.
To then tag a new version of the package, see https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl#via-the-github-app.

If you believe this package has erroneously been detected as not supporting 1.0 or have any other questions, don't hesitate to discuss it here or in the thread linked at the top of this post.

Linux: Show dependencies if they are not installed

I'm on Linux and I have SFML 2.3 installed, but I cannot run any of the examples since I get errors of the type

libsfml-graphics.so.2.2.0:  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Also it would be good for SFML.jl to check for library requirements at installation time.

Cheers, and thanks for your work.

Thanks for your work on this project! Is it still active and useable? I am using Julia 1.3.1, running on Windows 10. As directed by the README, I attempted the following command,

Any idea how to do transparent textures?

I have some PNGs with some alpha=0 pixels, but unfortunately they're drawn with an opaque background. Any idea how to do it?

Time for another release?

I just fixed a bunch of SFML.jl issues that turned up when I upgraded to Julia 0.5, only to find that they had already all been fixed in master. With 0.5 now official, it would be nice if the default release of SFML.jl was up to date.

CSFML Libraries on Windows

I would like to note a small issue I had while trying to use this package (after building), on the Windows operating system (It did not occur for me on Debian Linux).

I took the following steps using Julia v0.4.0-dev on a Jupyter notebook:

The package itself can be imported, without any errors:

using SFML

My first error occurred with the following code:

rec = SoundBufferRecorder()

LoadError: error compiling call: could not load library "libcsfml-audio"
The specified module could not be found.

while loading In[3], in expression starting on line 1

Here after I added the builded csml DLL's explicitly to my Windows environment.
While running the same code as above from the command line:

julia sound_test.jl

PS D:\dev\tmp> julia .\test_sound.jl

WARNING: deprecated syntax "Ptr{Void} (" at C:\Users\Foresterre\.julia\v0.4\SFML\src\julia/Network/udpSocket.jl:12.
Use "Ptr{Void}(" instead.
ERROR: LoadError: error compiling call: could not load library "libcsfml-audio"
The specified module could not be found.

 in include at boot.jl:259
 in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:267
 in process_options at client.jl:308
 in _start at client.jl:411
while loading D:\dev\tmp\test_sound.jl, in expression starting on line 3

Both times libcsfml-audio could not be found on the system.
The reason for this is because the SFML DLL's on Windows are build and named in the following format:
sfml--2.dll
or in the case of csfml csfml--2 (e.g. csfml-graphics-2).

I solved it for my install by copying & renaming the DLL's (from the format: csfml--2.dll formatting to libcsfml-.dll) from

C:\Users\Foresterre\.julia\v0.4\SFML\deps\sfml-binaries\csfml\csfml-32\bin

to

C:\Users\Foresterre\.julia\v0.4\SFML\deps\

Textures are not finalized

SFML.jl/src/julia/Graphics/texture.jl

Lines 6 to 7 in f7ce40b

	# finalizer(t, destroy)
	# t

type Texture
    ptr::Ptr{Void}

    function Texture(ptr::Ptr{Void})
        t = new(ptr)
        # finalizer(t, destroy)
        # t
    end
end

Is there a reason the finalizer is commented out? I need these two lines uncommented or I end up leaking memory like crazy.

Vertex array issues: don't appear when drawn, incorrect getbounds result, and segfault when accessing texCoords

I am having trouble drawing VertexArrays. They simply don't appear on the screen. This may or may not be linked to incorrect output from getbounds, and to the fact that when a vertex is access via get_vertex, we get a segfault when accessing the texCoord field. Here is some code that reproduces the issues. The segfaulting line is commented out:

using SFML

function test()

    va = VertexArray()
    SFML.set_primitive_type(va, SFML.triangles)

    #three vertices to make a triangle
    v1 = Vertex(Vector2f(0,0), SFML.green, Vector2f(0,0))
    v2 = Vertex(Vector2f(100,0), SFML.green, Vector2f(0,0))
    v3 = Vertex(Vector2f(100,100), SFML.green, Vector2f(0,0))
    append(va,v1)
    append(va,v2)
    append(va,v3)

    @show getbounds(va) # <-- this gives an incorrect result

    #get the first vertex
    gv = get_vertex(va, 0)

    # the original v1 members can be accessed without issue
    @show v1.position #ok
    @show v1.color #ok
    @show v1.texCoords #ok

    #but when we try to use gv.texCoords we get a segfault
    @show gv.position #ok
    @show gv.color #ok
    # @show gv.texCoords #segfault

    #
    window = RenderWindow("Input Example", 600, 600)
    event = Event()

    #use a circle as a control
    circle = CircleShape()
    set_position(circle, Vector2f(400.0, 400.0))
    set_radius(circle, 30)
    set_fillcolor(circle, SFML.red)

    while isopen(window)
        while pollevent(window, event)
            if get_type(event) == EventType.CLOSED
                close(window)
            end
        end

        clear(window, SFML.black)
        draw(window, circle) #drawn
        draw(window, va) #not drawn :(
        display(window)
    end
end

test()

I have tried and failed to get any further than this. Happy to help debug if I can.

get_pixels - wrong size of array returned (with solution)

The returned pointer array is not of size imgsize.x * imgsize.y
This is in RGBA so there are 4 values for each pixel.

SFML.jl/src/julia/Graphics/image.jl

Line 43 in 6c85e6f

convert(Array{UInt8}, unsafe_string(ptr, imgsize.x * imgsize.y))

Solution:

function get_pixels(image::SFML.Image)
    imgsize = get_size(image)
    ptr = ccall((:sfImage_getPixelsPtr, SFML.libcsfml_graphics), Ptr{UInt8}, (Ptr{Void},), image.ptr)
    # Here multiply by 4
    convert(Array{UInt8}, unsafe_string(ptr, imgsize.x * imgsize.y * 4))
end

cannot install SFML on Julia 0.4

Hi,
I was curious about the SFML package. I have installed it by Pkg.add("SFML")in the most recent version of julia (pulled and built today from the github 'master' branch). I have then updated all packages.

I now get:

julia> using SFML
Something has gone wrong with the SFML installation.
ErrorException("could not load library \"libsfml-graphics\"\ndlopen(/Users/michael/.julia/SFML/deps/libsfml-graphics.dylib, 9): Library not loaded: @rpath/../Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/A/freetype\n  Referenced from: /Users/michael/.julia/SFML/deps/libsfml-graphics.dylib\n  Reason: image not found")

Do I just need to be patient for the release, or am I doing something wrong?

When searching for libGLEW I got:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so.1.13.0

It would seem that either libglew needs to be rolled back (which could affect other programs I'm using) or SFML needs updating to support the newer libglew package.
Linux version: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena

Could not load library "csfml-graphics-2" The specified module could not be found.

Hi, I'm fairly new to Julia and SFML and I don't really if I'm doing it right and if it is the right place to post my issue but still, here it is:

error compiling main: could not load library "csfml-graphics-2" The specified module could not be found.

I have no idea what raises it neither how to fix it.

Feel free to tell me if I'm not in the right place to ask that kind of question.

Thanks in advance.

`build.jl` doesn't do a very thorough search for the system libraries

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Xenial and lib(c)sfml-* are now installed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, but the build.jl script is only checking /usr/lib. It would be nice if the build system was somewhat robust to this.

I think the correct approach may be to check whether Libdl.dlopen can find all the libraries you need to link against (at least I think this is what BinDeps.jl does to check whether the dependencies exist).

Build fails on 0.6

Are there any plans to support Julia 0.6?

Add SFML.jl to JuliaGraphics

I find SFML super intuitive but I know it from C++.
It would be good to suggest it to other people not familiar with C++ multimedia libraries.
I got to know Plotly, PlotlyJS and GR just because someone had put it into an intuitively named package called Plots
Great binding by the way!

How much work required to get working on 0.3?

I was wondering if there was any particular reason you went with 0.4 compatability first

Resurrect SFML.jl

First, thanks for your work on the package.

I write because several of us are interested in update SFML to Julia 1.0, see
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/problem-porting-sfml-jl-to-julia-1-1/20029/10.
Now there is a better installer
https://github.com/Gnimuc/SFMLBuilder and a wrapper using CSFML https://github.com/Gnimuc/LibCSFML.jl. Also, we have a version in SFML with Julia 1.x that we will update to use new LibCSFML.jl package.
Because it seems that you are not working more in SFML.jl package, we would like that you could give permission over the SFML.jl package to us or another structure (as JuliaGraphics) in which several could maintain the package, see
#45

Best regards, Daniel

Why is the C code required?

Hey @zyedidia, I haven't done a deep dive into the code, but I was wondering why the C bindings are needed?

Looking forward to seeing a demo of a Julia-powered game at JuliaCon!

Where is tutorial?

Could be good to have in README

Travis CI builds for Linux are marked as green despite they are broken

An example: https://travis-ci.org/zyedidia/SFML.jl/jobs/328803755

Other glibc version then 2.14?

I am trying to install SFML.jl on a linux machine and read the install instructions. They insist on glibc 2.14, however I don't want to downgrade it (I use 2.23). Is there a chance to get SFML.jl to work anyway?
