SimpleGFX is a straightforward tool designed to help you create graphics using SDL 1.2 or SDL 2. It supports development for the Anbernic RG35xx running Onion OS 1.4.9 and can also be used on macOS for experimenting, building, and testing small graphical applications.
- Compatibility with SDL 1.2 and SDL 2.
- Supports macOS and RG35xx platforms.
- Basic text rendering functionality.
- 16-bit tone generation for simple sound effects.
- Minimal dependencies for portability and ease of use.
- Docker installed and set up.
- SDL2 (
brew install sdl2) - SDL 1.2 compatibility (
brew install sdl12-compat)
- Onion OS 1.4.9
- ADB enabled on the device
Run the following commands to build and test the application:
# Using SDL2
make gfx && ./build/gfx
# Using SDL1.2
make gfx1.2 && ./build/gfxTo build and install the application on RG35xx:
make RG35xx-adb-installEnsure that ADB is properly configured and the device is connected before running this command.
