I have a program with multiple multiple loops, each one ran in a Goroutine. I need to plug or unplug monitors while my program runs, so I have to restart the sdl to let it find my new monitors, I do it by sdl.quit() to quit the last sdl and sdl.init(sdl.InitEverything) to initialize it again. My problem is that I have to handle the sdl events in a loop, If I don't it will become unresponsive, but this loop will block my Main code. I don't need to handle any events like mouse clicks, I just want to show some simple picture and manipulate them, is there any way to stop events or run the whole sdl in a goroutine? I tried but get weird results. This is my struct:
type SDLstruct{
window *sdl.Window
renderer *sdl.Renderer
texture *sdl.Texture
src, dst sdl.Rect
event sdl.Event
Close bool
winWidth, winHeight int32
}
This function starts a window and a renderer:
func (sdlVars *SDLstruct)StartWindow() (err error) {
sdlVars.winWidth, sdlVars.winHeight = 1920,1080
sdl.Init(sdl.INIT_VIDEO)
Num,err :=sdl.GetNumVideoDisplays()
if err!=nil {
return err
}
var rect sdl.Rect
rect,err = sdl.GetDisplayBounds(0)
if err!=nil {
return err
}
for i:=Num-1;i>=0;i--{
Mod , _:=sdl.GetDisplayMode(i,0)
if Mod.W ==info.winWidth && Mod.H==info.winHeight{
rect,err = sdl.GetDisplayBounds(i)
if err!=nil {
return err
}
break
}
}
sdlVars.window, err = sdl.CreateWindow(winTitle, rect.X, rect.Y,
rect.W, rect.H, sdl.WINDOW_SHOWN)
sdlVars.window.SetBordered(false)
sdlVars.window.SetFullscreen(1)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to create window: %s
", err)
return err
}
sdlVars.renderer, err = sdl.CreateRenderer(sdlVars.window, -1, sdl.RENDERER_ACCELERATED)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to create renderer: %s
", err)
return err
}
sdlVars.renderer.Clear()
sdlVars.renderer.SetDrawColor(0, 0, 0, 255)
sdlVars.renderer.FillRect(&sdl.Rect{0, 0, int32(info.winWidth), int32(info.winHeight)})
sdlVars.renderer.Present()
sdl.ShowCursor(0)
return nil
}
This function handle events:
func (sdlVars *SDLstruct)HandleEvents() {
for sdlVars.event = sdl.PollEvent(); sdlVars.event != nil; sdlVars.event = sdl.PollEvent() {
switch t := sdlVars.event.(type) {
case *sdl.QuitEvent:
sdlVars.Close = true
}
}
}
and this one closes everything:
func (sdlVars *SDLstruct)CloseSDL() (err error) {
err =sdlVars.renderer.Destroy()
if err!=nil{
return err
}
err = sdlVars.window.Destroy()
if err!=nil{
return err
}
sdl.Quit()
return nil
}
This is my Main function:
func main() {
var wg sync.WaitGroup
SdlVars:= new(SDLstruct)
wg.Add(1)
go SdlVars.StartSDL()
time.Sleep(time.Second*5)
SdlVars.Close = true
time.Sleep(time.Second*15)
}
In my Main function I tell it to start the sdl and after 5 seconds close everything and wait 15 seconds, but it doesn't close window.
