This takes care of the last set of void functions that could
potentially be shifted to instead return an int indicating success and
setting an error in case of an error.
This function wasn't consistently correct across platforms and devices.
If you want the UI scale factor, you can use display_scale in the structure returned by SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(). If you need an approximate DPI, you can multiply this value times 160 on iPhone and Android, and 96 on other platforms.
This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
Rather than iterating over display modes using an index, there is a new function SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes() to get the list of available fullscreen modes on a display.
{
SDL_DisplayID display = SDL_GetPrimaryDisplay();
int num_modes = 0;
SDL_DisplayMode **modes = SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes(display, &num_modes);
if (modes) {
for (i = 0; i < num_modes; ++i) {
SDL_DisplayMode *mode = modes[i];
SDL_Log("Display %" SDL_PRIu32 " mode %d: %dx%d@%gHz, %d%% scale\n",
display, i, mode->pixel_w, mode->pixel_h, mode->refresh_rate, (int)(mode->display_scale * 100.0f));
}
SDL_free(modes);
}
}
SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode() and SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode() return pointers to display modes rather than filling in application memory.
Windows now have an explicit fullscreen mode that is set, using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode(). The fullscreen mode for a window can be queried with SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(), which returns a pointer to the mode, or NULL if the window will be fullscreen desktop. SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() just takes a boolean value, setting the correct fullscreen state based on the selected mode.
This fixes the clang warning "Cast between pointer-to-function and pointer-to-object is an extension"
You can define SDL_FUNCTION_POINTER_IS_VOID_POINTER in your project to restore the previous behavior.

This simplifies the API and removes a level of API translation between the int variants of the functions and the float implementation

Also cleaned up logic for whether we need to poll for events:
- We need to periodically poll for joysticks to handle hotplug.
- We need to frequently poll for joysticks and sensors when they're open so their state can be updated
This function is useful for accumulating relative mouse motion if you want to only handle whole pixel movement.
e.g.
static float dx_frac, dy_frac;
float dx, dy;
/* Accumulate new motion with previous sub-pixel motion */
dx = event.motion.xrel + dx_frac;
dy = event.motion.yrel + dy_frac;
/* Split the integral and fractional motion, dx and dy will contain whole pixel deltas */
dx_frac = SDL_modff(dx, &dx);
dy_frac = SDL_modff(dy, &dy);
if (dx != 0.0f || dy != 0.0f) {
...
}
Feedback from @icculus:
"IsTablet" uses "is" as a form of "to be" ...like, the actual question is of its nature.
The rest is just a superfluous word in the question and it flows as better English with if (RectEmpty) than if (IsRectEmpty)

`SDL_QUERY`, `SDL_IGNORE`, `SDL_ENABLE`, and `SDL_DISABLE` have been removed.
SDL_EventState() has been replaced with SDL_SetEventEnabled()
SDL_GetEventState() has been replaced with SDL_EventEnabled()
SDL_GameControllerEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetGamepadEventsEnabled() and SDL_GamepadEventsEnabled()
SDL_JoystickEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetJoystickEventsEnabled() and SDL_JoystickEventsEnabled()
SDL_ShowCursor() has been split into three functions: SDL_ShowCursor(), SDL_HideCursor(), and SDL_CursorVisible()
