2021-03-08Codechange: remove the unused lock around BlitterPatric Stout
2021-03-08Remove: [Video] no longer draw in a threadPatric Stout
Drawing in a thread is a bit odd, and often leads to surprising issues. For example, OpenGL would only allow it if you move the full context to the thread. Which is not always easily done on all OSes. In general, the advise is to handle system events and drawing from the main thread, and do everything else in other threads. So, let's be more like other games. Additionally, putting the drawing routine in a thread was only done for a few targets. Upcoming commit will move the GameLoop in a thread, which will work for all targets.
2021-03-08Add: Option to (dis-)allow accelerated video drivers. (#8819)Patric Stout
The video drivers using the OpenGL backend are currently our only accelerated drivers. The options defaults to off for macOS builds and to on everywhere else. Co-authored-by: Michael Lutz <michi@icosahedron.de>
2021-02-28Add: settings to limit your fast-forward game speedPatric Stout
By default this setting is set to 2500% normal game speed.
2021-02-27Codechange: remove _realtime_tick variablePatric Stout
2021-02-24Codechange: [Video] make the prototype of PollEvent() the same for all driversPatric Stout
Additionally, call it from the draw-tick.
2021-02-22Add: [OpenGL] Support for a separate animation buffer that stores the ↵Michael Lutz
palette values of the screen in addition to the colour buffer.
2021-02-22Codechange: Allow video drivers to handle the cursor themselves.Michael Lutz
2021-02-22Add: [OpenGL] Support for 8bpp blitters.Michael Lutz
2021-02-22Change: Lock the video buffer when drawing inside the game loop to properly ↵Michael Lutz
account for threaded drawing.
2021-02-20Codechange: deduplicate tick-handlers of all video driversPatric Stout
They were all identical, so better put this in a single place hoping it is less likely to break.
2021-02-20Codechange: be consistent in what CheckPaletteAnim() does and when it is calledPatric Stout
Additionally, make sure this is a class method. Later commits will make use of this.
2021-02-20Codechange: be consistent in naming the paint function Paint()Patric Stout
Also move this function to be a class member. This to allow further deduplicating of code in a later commit.
2021-02-20Codechange: use (Un)LockVideoBuffer() to manage video bufferPatric Stout
2021-02-20Codechange: move all input-handling of video-drivers into InputLoopPatric Stout
2021-02-19Feature: configurable refresh-rate and change default to 60fpsPatric Stout
Most modern games run on 60 fps, and for good reason. This gives a much smoother experiences. As some people have monitors that can do 144Hz or even 240Hz, allow people to configure the refresh rate. Of course, the higher you set the value, the more time the game spends on drawing pixels instead of simulating the game, which has an effect on simulation speed. The simulation will still always run at 33.33 fps, and is not influences by this setting.
2021-02-19Change: allow video-drivers to miss deadlines slightlyPatric Stout
Before, every next frame was calculated from the current time. If for some reason the current frame was drifting a bit, the next would too, and the next more, etc etc. This meant we rarely hit the targets we would like, like 33.33fps. Instead, allow video-drivers to drift slightly, and schedule the next frame based on the time the last should have happened. Only if the drift gets too much, that deadlines are missed for longer period of times, schedule the next frame based on the current time. This makes the FPS a lot smoother, as sleeps aren't as exact as you might think.
