I'll try and go through the code and update it, this weekend. I think my inital thought process must have been from looking at how Greg wrapped Raylib using FFI.

--Raylib Wrapper (FFI) 
public constant RL_VECTOR2 = define_c_type({ 
	C_FLOAT, -- x   // Vector x component 
	C_FLOAT  -- y   // Vector y component 
}) 
 
export constant raylib = open_dll( "raylib.dll" ), 
	xInitWindow         = define_c_proc( raylib, "+InitWindow", {C_INT,C_INT,C_STRING} ), 
	xWindowShouldClose  = define_c_func( raylib, "+WindowShouldClose", {}, C_BOOL ), 
	xCloseWindow        = define_c_proc( raylib, "+CloseWindow", {} ), 
	xGetWindowPosition  = define_c_func( raylib, "+GetWindowPosition", {}, RL_VECTOR2 ), 
	xGetScreenToWorld2D = define_c_func( raylib, "+GetScreenToWorld2D", {RL_VECTOR2,RL_CAMERA2D}, RL_VECTOR2 ) 
--Only copying what is relevant to my thought process 
 
public function GetScreenToWorld2D( sequence position, sequence camera ) 
	return c_func( xGetScreenToWorld2D, {position,camera} ) 
end function 

My thought process being that if a struct or so is defined as define_c_type() using FFI, then it must be called as a sequence in Euphoria. However that it is clear that is not always the case. SDL must not pass all structs by value as Raylib does.

public constant SDL_Rect = define_c_type({ 
--Part of My SDL Wrapper 
--From SDL_Rect.e 
	C_INT, --x 
	C_INT, --y 
	C_INT, --w 
	C_INT --h 
}) 
 
export constant xSDL_HasIntersection = define_c_func(sdl,"+SDL_HasIntersection",{SDL_Rect,SDL_Rect},C_BOOL) 
 
public function SDL_HasIntersection(sequence a,sequence b) 
	return c_func(xSDL_HasIntersection,{a,b}) 
end function 
 
--My thought being you could use it as such: 
sequence myRect = SDL_Rect() 
myRect[1] = 5 --x 
myRect[2] = 5 --y 
 
And so forth.  
}) 

My thought process being that sequence is the closest thing Euphoria has to struct in its current form.

EDIT: I have changed most of the sequences to atoms. Functions that returned a define_c_type() should now return a pointer as I changed it from I.E. SDL_Rect to C_POINTER.
