Sources putted to GitHub

Irrlicht engine work nice in SailfishOS now, but not all engine features supported now: in engine not grabbed gyroscope and accelerometer (need more work with it, because i dont use Qt directly in port, only pure Wayland implementation )

There are no SDL2 implementation, if i can, i will put it later... but SDL2 implementation created from SDL1 by migration guide in Official SDL web page, i mean that is not big deal

So I advise you to look in the direction of projects IrrBullet (+ bulllet sources), CAudio (OpenAL wrapper for Irrlciht), IrrLua (Lua bindings for Irrlciht, but seems it's too old).

Do you have a qtapp loop running? without it, compositor wont know about your application at all.

@tortoisedoc, no, just pure wayland code )) from some tutorials ))

Yes! I didi it! read more Wayland tutorial, i add wl_shell_surface_add_listener to IrrlichtDevice implemetation =) that work! no more "Not Respone" ... =) But application cant launch from Icon in Apps menu ( only from terminal now ) , when i try launch from icon, its lodaing and down.

Next step:

Get Events from OS (mouse, keyboard, touchscreen)

Nice =) When I try to use SDL2 with Irrlicht rendering ( it has SDL1 implementation, which was easy rewritten to SDL2 ) it work fine, and i can get Close Window Event now, and properly close irrlicht device =)) that mean, Irrlicht engine almost ported to SailfishOS )

When i will end my work, i will put it to GitHub, and share here link to sources and instructions..

Tested on Inoi R7 - works fine, close properly )

From SDL2 sources i got a way, how i can handle signal when window closing, and now Irrlicht engine works fine on sailfish in pure Wayland code (without SDL2)

Besides, SDL2 is in pause mode consumes a lot of resources (6 - 10% (6% in mostly)) at the same time as Wayland implementation does nothing consumes (0-1% from Lighthouse system monitor)

P.S. I think the implementation of SDL2 version of Irrlicht engine is so demanding because of call of SDL2_PollEvent method placed in main loop with the subsequent analysis of the event type in the big switch {}, while in Wayland all events arrive as signals, and in the main loop was call just one function wl_display_dispatch.

i think, if i rewrite SDL_PollEvent to SDL_AddEventWatch callback in Irrlcih, it will be work as in Wayland ... eat just 1% of CPU in pause mode.

Please compare the CPU consumption in the same conditions. I would recommend to do that on charger since then the device is not asleep. When device is asleep, CPU % could be artificially increased since it usually takes into account only awake part of time. Its quite probable that the both implementations are fine

@rinigus, i tested that many times, and always in pause mode SDL2 eat more CPU then Wayland, but when i will public sources, i put both implementations, and you can choose what you want

P.S. I didn't do accurate tests, this is just my observation

sashikknox ( 2017-09-14 11:34:08 +0200 )edit

It's probably busy-looping?

Please share your work! I think this is a pioneering approach on wayland integration, and is defnitely beneficial for the community! :)

Later I will share my work, but now the code is very dirty.

Now i connect to Keyboard, Mouse and Touchscreen events in Wayland. But i do not now how tell Irrlicht to close render device, when Sailfish close app.

Next steps:

get accelerometer and gyroscope from Sailfish Wayland (need some documentation about that in sailfish, help me who can =) )
correct closing of application ( now it's close with error, because GLESContext is destroyed, but Irrilicht try to use them )
run application from Sailfish Applications Menu ( that still not work, only from terminal run)
add some new Irrlicht UI components, like onscreen joystick =)
get display resolution and DPI (now a hardcoded resolution of Irrlicht render)

while i reading more manuals, i found wl_output_listener... now i can get display resolution and screen orietation (dynamicly, if it changed) ...
appliction now run from Sailfish Applications menu =)
still cant get app lifecycle, cant properly destroy irrlicht EGLContext when close app, becaus irrlicht still dont now about this =)

Found ProtonSDK engine, based on Irrlicht engine, with included Physics, Sound and other features... maybe later, i try to port it to Sailfish ;)
