To do this, we’ll have to manipulate the UV coordinates of the texture we render with. We start by making a clone of our SubmitQuad function, which we’ll call SubmitText. This will take some different parameters. First, it’ll take a const char* Input string. This is a c-style string, which is just an array of bytes on the stack. We want to take a font c..."

We will map all characters A through Z, in caps, plus 0-9, plus the symbols mapped to 0-9, as well as a few punctuation marks and brackets. We will draw the fonts in a row in a png. Calculated out, our font will be 1024 pixels wide, which is the maximum amount the Dreamcast can have. Each font character needs to be at least 16x16 pixels big. I settled on my final font texture size being 1024x128 pixels big. The dimensions of the texture need to be a power of 2. 12..."

This will hold and store our Textures for us, so we can easily look through them and delete them if necessary. Begin by making a new class in our folder, “texture_manager.cpp” and “texture_manager.h”. Don’t forget to add “texture_manager.o” to $(OBJS) in our Makefile. Our Texture_Manager class will need to see KOS to get internal dr..."

With a simple program like we have now, that’s not so important, but in more complex programs this becomes very important. We’ll create an event handler for Gamepad Input in this section, which will let us start writing code to control our program while it’s running. We need a central object for parts of our program to talk with. Using global variables is a bad idea on the Sega..."

The dreamcast does not draw like a modern GPU, it doesn’t have a GPU at all. It has a PVR Core which uses deferred rendering. The way this works is that a small amount of memory inside the Dreamcast VRAM is set aside to hold vertex data. Instead of rasterizing each polygon as they are sent to the dreamcast and immediately drawing it to the destination, the Dreamcast instead caches all polygons upfr..."

To make loading and unloading large amounts of data and assets easier, it’s preferable to use Rom Disks. Rom Disks take a folder on your computer, and turns it into an image file. KOS can then mount that image file in the dreamcast, creating a copy of your folder inside. You can load and unload multiple Rom Disks, making it handy for keeping memory organ..." current

The first run function will be int main(int argc, char **argv), and thus the file it resides in is considered the main source file. It is typical to name this file something like main.cpp, or perhaps game.cpp, or the name of your program with .cpp attached. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will refer to it as Main.cpp. Create a new text file called Main.cpp, and open it to begin editing. === Heade..."
