1. Release of Yagl wrapper
Well, I finally got around to uploading it. Hopefully there aren't that many
bugs.

Hi Jeremy,
I like these graphics libs very much, and EU+Yagl seems to be
a good addition to EU+Allegro, EU+SDL and to ex.exe.
For now, one thing... Doesn't Yagl have something like to
SDL's SDL_Quit()?
Yagl's demos hang up on quiting on XP SP2 and it seems that exw.exe
just has no control on keyboard after a demo is over.
I need a Ctrl+Alt+Del salute to stop exw.exe, both on exw_r.exe 2.5
and on exw.exe 3.0.1
Good Luck with Yagl!
Regards,
Igor Kachan

Hi Igor,
Are you exiting the demos using the X close button? That works for me on XP
home.

4. Re: Release of Yagl wrapper
Hi
I'm getting the same problem as Igor. Doesn't matter how you close it ('X' or
escape etc), but I have to use ctrl-alt-del to stop it.
Probably because the dll(s) aren't releasing their resources properly when the
program terminates.

Hmm.
When you clikc the close button, a console window comes up, right? If it does,
does clicking the 'X' on that window close it?

K, the latest version should fix this. The link to the zip with the updated
demos is here until Rob can do it:

Thanks for testing, guys.

I only get a hang on demo4, where there is a warning about unused variables x
and y, and only sometimes.
I do notice though that after running the demos, and closing them with the X,
EXW.EXE hangs around in the task manager.
I'm using the latest update of Euphoria (3.0.1?)

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that.
The previous version of the demos had this line at the end:
while get_key() = -1 do end while
which prevented exw.exe from hanging around in the task manager, but seems to
crash the program on Chris and Igor's computers.
I wonder -

New version of demo1..3 works ok from pure console command line and
on double clicking (without ed.ex), but demo4 hangs after finish,
when exw.exe issues the warning messages - exw.exe has no control
from the keyboard. Same story with ed.ex - it hangs.
It seems to be a bug in Yagl itself, or in its native compiler -
there is no a keyboard cleaning procedure after Yagl for exw.exe.
I think, it may be good thing to compile Yagl with Open Watcom.
Yagl is very simple and handy system though.

Hi
Demo4 closes nicely if you add without warning to the top of the file.

That leaves EXW.EXW running invisible on my computer.
13. Re: Release of Yagl wrapper
All demos leave a copy of EXW.EXE running on my Windows XP Professional PC.
What can I do to fix that?

CK:
When programming in windows that is caused by a program not
properly sending a PostQuitMessage on the WM_CLOSE message
when the user closes the application.

Yep. :) I'm working on it.
Possibly have to create a proc you can call at the end of the program that
automatically does this since Yagl doesn't want to do that when being used from
Eu(this problem doesn't occur with other language wrappers).

Ok, I tried that and it did not work - calling PostQuitMessage(0) when the
application is exiting.

Did some reading up and Yagl looks to be abandonedware. Is that the case? What
other game libraries exist that meet or exceed Yagl's performance and cross-
platform featureset?

Yeah, it isn't being developed right now. The guy who created it said something
about opensourcing it, but he hasn't yet(afaik).

I haven't found any - that were easily converted for use with Euphoria either.

Mark Akita's SDL library is the top dog, methinks.
SDL: http://www.libsdl.org/index.php.
For Euphoria:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=sdl
Allegro looks great, too.
Allegro: http://alleg.sourceforge.net/
For Euphoria:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=allegro
Those look most worthy. Did I miss any? :)

Lol :), well, yagl is licensed under the zlib license, so I did manage to find
the source.
What's wrong with making another game library available to Euphoria? :)

Nothin's wrong with that, bro. I've been known to forsake available code
to roll my own. It's fun. :) I appreciate all your work. Keep it up!
