===================

[](#hanhan1978ffi-sdl3)

Small PHP FFI bindings for SDL3 and SDL3\_ttf.

This package was split out from the overlay demo so it can be reused as an independent Composer library.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.4 or later
- `ext-ffi`
- SDL3
- SDL3\_ttf
- Apache-2.0 license

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require hanhan1978/ffi-sdl3:^0.1
```

Local development
-----------------

[](#local-development)

If you are developing against a local checkout, add a path repository to the parent project's `composer.json` and run `composer install`.

```
{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "path",
      "url": "../ffi-sdl3"
    }
  ]
}
```

Usage

[](#usage)

```
use SDL3\BlendMode;
use SDL3\Color;
use SDL3\SDL;
use SDL3\TTF\Font;
use SDL3\TTF\TTF;
use SDL3\Window;
use SDL3\WindowFlag;

$sdl = SDL::init();
$ttf = TTF::init($sdl);
$font = new Font($ttf, '/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc', 32.0);

$window = new Window($sdl, 'Overlay', 640, 80, [
    WindowFlag::Borderless,
    WindowFlag::AlwaysOnTop,
    WindowFlag::Transparent,
]);

$renderer = $window->createRenderer();
$renderer->setDrawBlendMode(BlendMode::Blend);

$surface = $font->renderTextBlended('Hello', new Color(255, 230, 80));
$texture = $renderer->createTextureFromSurface($surface);
$surface->destroy();
```
