   g_retroflat_state->heartbeat_next = \
      retroflat_get_ms() + g_retroflat_state->heartbeat_len; \

Typedef Documentation

retroflat_pxxy_t

typedef size_t retroflat_pxxy_t

Type used for surface pixel coordinates.

Todo

Make this signed when most of the library uses it. Right now, it causes too many issues with passed references.

Function Documentation

retroflat_init()

MERROR_RETVAL retroflat_init	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[],
		struct RETROFLAT_ARGS *	args )

Initialize RetroFlat and its underlying layers. This should be called once at the beginning of the program and should quit if the return value indicates any failures.

Returns

RETROFLAT_OK if there were no problems or other RetroFlat API Return Values if there were.

retroflat_set_proc_resize()

void retroflat_set_proc_resize	(	retroflat_proc_resize_t	on_resize_in,
		void *	data_in )

Set the procedure to call when the window is resized (on platforms that support resizing).

Parameters

on_resize_in	Procedure to call when window is resized.
data_in	Data to pass to on_resize_in.

If this is not set, no procedure is called. Some platforms may stretch the "virtual" screen to fill the physical window.

retroflat_shutdown()

void retroflat_shutdown

(

int

retval

)

Deinitialize RetroFlat and its underlying layers. This should be called once at the end of the program, after retroflat_loop().

Parameters

retval

Return value from retroflat_init(), so we know what layers are in what state.
