GRRLIB 4.1.0 is now available for download.
GRRLIB is a C/C++ 2D Graphics library for Wii application developers. It is essentially a wrapper which presents a friendly interface to the Nintendo GX core. With it, coders can quickly and easily start creating graphical applications.
As of v4.1.0, GRRLIB is supplied as a standard C/C++ library (aka. archive) called 'libgrrlib'. Because GRRLIB processes JPEG and PNG images, it requires the installation of the 'libjpeg' and 'libpngu' libraries. 'libpngu', in turn, requires 'libpng' and 'libpng' requires 'libz'. GRRLIB also has FileIO functions to allow real-time loading and saving of graphical data, and thus also requires 'libfat'.
4.1.0 - October 5, 2009
Completely new file structure with sub-folders:
libgrrlib <- 2D graphics library
+-- libfat <- File I/O
+-- libjpeg <- JPEG image processor
+-- libpngu <- Wii wrapper for libpng
+-- libpng <- PNG image processor
+-- libz <- Zip (lossless) compsression (for PNG compression)
Installer for vendor libraries (jpeg, png, pngu)
Makefile for GRRLIB
Many (all suitable) functions are now inlined
Support for the recent changes to libogc
Alpha compositor function added
Correct use of pointers (no more struct passing)
Speed improvement, bug fixing and more...
