Adds a launcher to pick window size/mode for the SDL games and start them with the right CLI args, plus the per-game and SDL-backend fixes needed for that.
Add full-screen support (borderless window when SDL_FULLSCREEN is set)
Fix windowed frame size so the game buffer no longer overruns the bottom/right border by 1px
Skip the redundant kernel work-area fill (the per-frame blit covers it anyway) (Also resolves an old report asking for a transparent game-window background.)
apps/wolf3d:
Fix viewport shift on non-standard window sizes (use bufferPitch, not screenWidth)
Default to windowed and honor --windowed/--fullscreen (was force-fullscreen on KolibriOS)
apps/doom:
Render to 24bpp and SDL_SoftStretch to an arbitrary -winsize; drop the old integer scaler
Fix sound effects (use the slice size from the obtained SDL audio spec)
Set CWD to the executable dir so the WAD is found when run from the launcher
Read config from DOOMRC.TXT next to the WAD
Add to autobuild (built from source; prebuilt binary removed)
apps/quake:
Add full-screen support
Grow the heap to fit the z-buffer and surface cache, fixing OOM at larger resolutions
Clamp -winsize to MAXWIDTH×MAXHEIGHT so a large window can't overrun the renderer's static tables
apps/launcher:
FASM launcher that starts wolf3d/doom/quake with the chosen size and mode
Passes the per-game mode flag so each game opens windowed or full-screen as selected
Ships CLI-argument reference docs for each game
Wired into autobuild and the Games Center
Known limitations (out of scope):
Quake mouse control and a "bad server message" error are pre-existing sdlquake bugs (reproduce at any resolution).
Closing a Quake window has a short delay (SDL audio-thread teardown); left as-is.
## Game launcher for Wolf3D, DOOM and Quake
Adds a launcher to pick window size/mode for the SDL games and start them with the right CLI args, plus the per-game and SDL-backend fixes needed for that.
Special thanks to @mxlgv for idea.
### libs/sdl:
- Add full-screen support (borderless window when `SDL_FULLSCREEN` is set)
- Fix windowed frame size so the game buffer no longer overruns the bottom/right border by 1px
- Skip the redundant kernel work-area fill (the per-frame blit covers it anyway)
*(Also resolves an old report asking for a transparent game-window background.)*
### apps/wolf3d:
- Fix viewport shift on non-standard window sizes (use `bufferPitch`, not `screenWidth`)
- Default to windowed and honor `--windowed`/`--fullscreen` (was force-fullscreen on KolibriOS)
### apps/doom:
- Render to 24bpp and `SDL_SoftStretch` to an arbitrary `-winsize`; drop the old integer scaler
- Fix sound effects (use the slice size from the obtained SDL audio spec)
- Set CWD to the executable dir so the WAD is found when run from the launcher
- Read config from `DOOMRC.TXT` next to the WAD
- Add to autobuild (built from source; prebuilt binary removed)
### apps/quake:
- Add full-screen support
- Grow the heap to fit the z-buffer and surface cache, fixing OOM at larger resolutions
- Clamp `-winsize` to `MAXWIDTH`×`MAXHEIGHT` so a large window can't overrun the renderer's static tables

- borderless full-screen window (style Y=1) when SDL_FULLSCREEN is set
- correct the windowed frame size (5px skin border on the left, right and
bottom) so the framebuffer blit no longer overruns the frame by 1px
- skip the redundant kernel work-area fill (the per-frame blit covers the
whole client anyway)
- more robust debug output
- use bufferPitch instead of screenWidth for the view offset on
non-standard window sizes
- default to windowed and honor --windowed/--fullscreen so the launcher
controls the mode (the SDL backend now acts on SDL_FULLSCREEN, which
used to be ignored)
- center the logical 320x200 layer (menus, title/intro, fonts, fullscreen
pics) when the resolution is not an exact multiple of 320x200; the 3D
view and in-game HUD stay full-screen
- render the fixed 320x200 frame to a 24bpp surface and SoftStretch it to
an arbitrary window size (-winsize); drop the old blocky integer scaler
- fix sfx: take the slice size from the obtained SDL audio spec
- set CWD to the executable dir so the WAD is found when run from launcher
- read config from DOOMRC.TXT next to the WAD
- add to autobuild
- grow the heap to fit the z-buffer and surface cache for the requested
resolution
- clamp -winsize to MAXWIDTH x MAXHEIGHT so a large window cannot overrun
the software renderer''s static tables
FASM launcher that starts wolf3d/doom/quake with the chosen window size and
mode via CLI args. Wire it into autobuild and the games menu; doom is now
built from source, so drop the prebuilt binary.
