Eli Gottlieb's checklist for the GSOC shaped windows project. Dated July 9, 2010.

1. Enable proper linking of the X11 implementation and test it.

--> Find the place in the build system for platform-specific linking flags. STATUS: BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE.

--> Add a linker flag to bring in libXext.a. STATUS: WILL BE SIMPLE ONCE PREVIOUS STEP IS ACCOMPLISHED (kshemashiach yagia).

2. Build the Win32 implementation of shaped-windows functionality.

--> Add driver functions to the SDL_ShapeDriver in the Win32 driver's SDL_DisplayDevice at the proper point in the code. STATUS: CHECK.

--> Add a hook in the Windows resize-window code to call Win32_ResizeWindowShape(). STATUS: CHECK.

3. Enable building the testeyes program.

--> Reprogram it to use the latest shaped-windows API. STATUS: CHECK.

--> Get it, along with the rest of the test suite in my branch, building successfully. STATUS: REQUIRES X11 IMPLEMENTATION TO LINK PROPERLY AND/OR A BUILD-BUDDY BUILDING AND RUNNING THE TEST FOR ME.

--> Debug testeyes and the platform-specific shaped-window implementations in tandem. STATUS: TO BEGIN, CURRENT SPRINT.

4. Implement the SDL shaped-windows API for Mac OS X using Cocoa. STATUS: NEXT SPRINT.

--> Locate (once more) the API documentation for shaped windows under Cocoa.

--> Design and encode a version of SDL_ShapeData for Cocoa.

--> Write Cocoa_CreateShaper().

--> Write Cocoa_ResizeWindowShape().

--> Write Cocoa_SetWindowShape().

--> If necessary, implement functionality adjunct to SDL_CalculateShapeBitmap() for Cocoa usage.

5. Use testeyes to debug all implementations. STATUS: SPRINT + 2.

--> Debug Cocoa implementation.

--> Debug Win32 implementation.

--> Debug X11 implementation (again).

* See why windows are being rearranged. Is the shield window not up?

* Make sure you can create and show a fullscreen window in one step

* Figure out how to handle OpenGL context lost on Mac OS X (does it happen?)

* Implement assertion code on iPhone

* Add __WINDOWS__ in addition to __WIN32__

* Check 1.2 revisions:

3554 - Need to resolve semantics for locking keys on different platforms

4874 - Do we want screen rotation? At what level?

4974 - Windows file code needs to convert UTF-8 to Unicode, but we don't need to tap dance for Windows 95/98

4484, 4485 - Verify that SDL's Windows keyboard handling works correctly

4865 - See if this is still needed (mouse coordinate clamping)

4866 - See if this is still needed (blocking window repositioning)
