The fact that the lead programmer of SDL doesn't have any of the API memorized really puts into perspective how much time I wasted trying to memorize lazyfoo tutorials line by line when I was 13

Learned a lot, thx for sharing BRAVO!

thanks

I dont know why but ... i hate sdl3 -> its sdl2 but with a function lib that pop up if you code an function

I feel it was yesterday that SDL 2 released and me and my brother watched you on the Steam panel. I was always curios about checking SDL, and with 3 open for preview, I feel the future is now.

Thank you for this. A great tutorial. Nice, short and clear.

SDL3 marks the start of a new generation of game development with new and current developers. This is huge!

Thanks for your outstanding and persistent work throughout the years Ryan!

You’re a handsome fellow Ryan 😊

Holy shit, EyeToy, now that's something I didn't think about in a long time

Very interesting, this video is almost like a lore-drop. Thank you.

Fucking awesome, thanks to Ryan and the other SDL people. I am so happy to take a deep dive into SDL3, seeing how it works, how the CMake stuff works, HDR and and and ...

Very Excited for SDL3!

So cool!!

Awesome icculus ::) You look so happy. It’s like you wrote first program and it works 🤭. This is probably the most valuable thing in development. Thank you.

SDL3 hype !!

Hello!

I love that Linux support is just such a given that it took you a moment to realize you didn't even mention it! 😄 Anyway, this is nice!

congrats ryan, very good work

Wow, congratulations.

so much hype for SDL3! Thanks for the hard work over 18 years to get bug #4 shipped!

I didn't realize how much I needed this!!! hyped for SDL3 !

That's so cool!! Thank you so much for all the work.

Thank you Ryan !!!

nice, i can imagine doing some livestream-related stuff with this. super excited for SDL3 as a whole!

The real goal should be to make games with intuitive controls that don't need to blast your eyeballs with icons constantly. That Spiderman game for example is just a visual mess. If a game has to remind you how to do things constantly, it already failed. No one needed to be slapped in the face with icons constantly while playing Street Fighter 2 or Doom. Why do we need it now? This is a game development failure and nothing else.

Computer science classes teach you a lot of idiotic things and frequently neglect actually useful things, I am self taught, worked with a comp sci phd once and he couldnt even understand basic concepts of addressing memory, or count in hexadecimal.

This is pretty much what Steam's library does too I think

I wish this could be injected into existing games. Because in sim racing, all my wheel buttons appear in-game as "1", "2" "7" etc... I can't remember what does what with 3 different steeringwheels 😭

I'm surprised this hasn't been done much sooner.

This is great! Note that some companies have TRCs regarding how their gamepad and/or button images can look in a game running on their system. If you manage to conscript an artist or two to your cause, be sure to look those up so your library is compliant.

A guy named Xelu, with the UA-cam Channel "Mental Checkpoint" has made an asset pack with controller buttons and controllers themselves free on the public domain. All you need is to put him in the credits, and voila, you got the buttons. Asset pack name: "Xelu's free controller prompts" He also has a video about it, "Why I'm Credited In Over 100 Games (not even joking)"

Pretty good! You should add support for people to give their own SVGs to show up and leave these as default/fallback ones, this way we can better blend them into our UIs.

I would love to see something like this integrated into the Godot engine 😳 it would be such a… game changer

I'm still waiting for someone to figure out how to translate multiple Stadia controllers to Xbox. It's such a hassle to run Stadiacontroller multiple times and one by one hiding the controllers. I just wanna play with the kids bruh.

Hell yeah!!!

Excellent video!

it would be awesome to have a video bout the instalation on a few games to know how to do it properly :)

This is _excellent._ Support for SVGs is ideal and will make adding support for many controllers trivial.

Looks handy! It would be nice if there were also a function that just returned an enum value so I could decide what to render and how to render it.

Not the first attempt I see, so I've got two concerns: 1. How will the icons match the game's UI? (e.g. Realistic and flat variants? Pressed and released variants?) And 2. Who keeps the library updated? Database-like libraries like this one are most valuable when updates are decoupled from the game releases. (The same goes for SDL's controller db, the TZ db, terminfo, etc.)

Library sounds great! It took me a second to figure out why an xbox shaped controller with playstation buttons glyphs felt weird. :)

Why didn't you use the N64 controller as the base image?

I was working on something similar recently for my SDK! There's 'Xelu's Free Controller Prompts', which are CC0. They have a ton of artwork, including for portable systems, since your readme is asking for more artwork And yes, this project tackles an inconvenient problem that your touch can help solve :D

Cool!

very exciting!!!

Considering how much was done I would still consider this a quick video. Great to see the windowshade mode working!

Great to see this next installment come in so quickly
