cpp3ds

Basic C++ gaming framework and library for Nintendo 3DS.

cpp3ds is essentially a barebones port of SFML with a parallel native 3ds emulator built on top of it. The goal is to completely abstract the developer from the hardware SDK and provide a nice object-oriented C++ framework for clean and easy coding. And the emulator is designed to provide a means of surface-level realtime debugging (with GDB or whatever you prefer).

Won't be stable and usable until v1.0

Installation

Coming soon.

Documentation

Will be released with v1.0 stable

Requirements

• DevkitARM
• ctrulib
• citro3d

For emulator:

• SFML 2.3
• Qt 5
• OpenAL
• libvorbis

For unit tests:

• Google Test

Credit and Thanks

• Laurent Gomila and SFML team
• smealum - ctrulib
• Lectem - some CMake stuff
• Everyone on EFNet #3dsdev

cpp3ds's Issues

Manipulating sprites is broken

I've attached a .3dsx that demonstrates this as well as the emu build. Here's a link to the code

All I did was modify the cpp3ds-template and yeah. Some issues here but I don't know anything about graphics so I have no clue what the problem is.
demo.zip

Possibility of licencing issues with AAC?

With regards to the issue that I have opened here, and to your commit 4eee3e3. Just to summarise what I've said in the former link, applications that ship with AAC decoding or encoding must have a licence. Did you not know or is their a loophole?

Of course, distributing the source code is fine, but binaries not so. So whilst this repository is fine since no binaries are provided, it is my understanding that applications that are linked to this library will require a licence to be distributed in binary form.

If this isn't the case then please let me know because this is the only reason I haven't added AAC to ctrmus.

Thanks in advance. 😃

mbedtls missing / build failing

Hi,
seems like mbedtls is missing from current master branch.

Also i've stumbled upon multiple problems when trying to setup cpp3ds in my environment, if you want, i will create separate issues for these:

• Latest release version makerom fails on current devkitARM (malloc(): memory corruption) - fixed by rebuilding latest makerom manually
• Latest release version fails with /home/travis/build/cpp3ds/cpp3ds/src/emu3ds/Emulator/Emulator.cpp:123: undefined reference to "sf::Image::saveToFile(std::string const&) const"
• On second-to-last commit template project (after fixing game.console invocation) fails to build because of missing -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 flag, citro3d lib for 3ds build, and Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets libs for emu build (after some more tweaks i might not remember right now - built binary does not boot on 3ds, and emu build segfaults anyway :3)

So, yeah. I sadly didn't succeed to build anything, but it feels like a pretty useful piece of toolkit... :)

(setup: latest devkitarm, ctrulib master, citro3d master, ubuntu 15.10, system gcc 5.2.1, system sfml 2.3.2)

How to corectly install it?

How do i correctly install cpp3ds?

I have allways this error:

unset(JPEG_INCLUDE_DIR CACHE) breaks finding jpeg lib on Ubuntu 12.04

I tried manually setting it even and it wouldn't work until I found this line. Removed it and everything worked fine, wondering what the point is?

Missing vorbis/vorbisfile.h?

I think this file is missing from the master branch. Here's the error output i'm getting:

I'm getting these errors despite having all of them installed into /usr/include.... Not sure where it's looking for them, but I've poked around the cmake files a bit and left confused. This is where they should be right?

cmake fails

There seem to be problems with the lines of CMakeLists.txt:

07: include(cpp3ds)
50: compile_core_shaders(SHADER_OUTPUT ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/res/core_resource/ ${SHADER_FILES})

I get the following errors:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    cpp3ds


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:50 (compile_core_shaders):
  Unknown CMake command "compile_core_shaders".

I have attached the log just in case.
