The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SDL::OpenGL::Cg
DSLIP: cdcfp
description: Interface to the Cg shader language.
userid: MOLT (Paul Golds)
chapterid: 9 (Language_Interfaces)
communities:
sdlperl.org mailing list.
similar:
SDL::OpenGL (Provides an interface to OpenGL, SDL::OpenGL::Cg
expands on this to allow access to the shader facilities of newer
graphics cards).
rationale:
It provides a useful functionality by allowing Perl graphics and
games programmers to take more complete advantage of their graphics
cards by providing an XS-based interface to nVidia's Cg and CgGL
libraries. This should allow them to equal the quality of images
that C/C++ programmers already have access to from the library.
I personally use SDL::OpenGL for my OpenGL interface, and as such
whilst SDL::OpenGL::Cg may potentially work with other OpenGL
interfaces SDL::OpenGL is the one it's being targetted at and
primarily supported for. This is why I'm writing it as
SDL::OpenGL::Cg and not OpenGL::Cg or someother such related module.
As yet I can't think of anything tying it with SDL::OpenGL's
functionality, but I would be surprised if it remained that way for
the module's lifetime. The author of SDL::OpenGL has also been
informed of the choice of namespace and expressed no objections.
Whilst the module is still only providing a subset of the C API it
is already useable, and useful, proving that the project can be a
long-term technical success in marrying these two languages
together.
