sdl2-ttf

Haskell bindings to SDL2_ttf

Haskell bindings for the True Type Font library for SDL.

• libsdl https://www.libsdl.org
• sdl2-ttf https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf

Both the raw and the higher level bindings should allow you to use any aspect of the original SDL2_ttf library. Please report an issue if you encounter a bug or feel that something is missing.

Install

git clone git@github.com:haskell-game/sdl2-ttf.git
cd sdl2-ttf
cabal install

Example

A small example executable is included with the library. It loads a given font and uses it to display text in various ways. You can find it in the example directory.

Note: this example works, but is written in sdl1-style, so instead you should change surfaces to textures and follow the usual sdl2 API.

cd sdl2-ttf
cabal configure -fexample
cabal run path/to/some/font.type
