funcLib 1.0.1

June 20th, 2008, 23:10 Posted By: wraggster

News/release from Sleepy and Flatmush

funcLib is a function library for the PSP, designed to help programmers program a little more easily and a bit more efficiently. It shortens programming time for pros, and also makes it simpler for the newer members of the scene to join in.

funcLib is currently an arrangement of files containing functions which are seperated and commented to make it easier for you to search through them. We're hoping to make it interactive in the future, but don't hold your breath.

Features List

BMP Loading, TGA Loading/Saving, PCX Loading, RAW Loading/Saving
Full texture support with swizzling, mipmap and palette support aswell as vmem.
Easy and extendable graphics API with support for perspective and ortho modes aswell as vsync, Show FPS, etc.
Memory allocation module, with vmem allocation included aswell as a simple paging mechanism, memory pooling, scratchpad usage, stride allocation and much more.
File wrapper that allows loading of files from memory aswell as from the memorystick and from a pbp-plus file aswell as additional functions.

Color manipulation module for graphical programs and random color generation.
A 3d camera class that allows all views and is easy to use.
Thousands of defines, types, etc. which should come in handy (e.g SCREEN_GAMMA, MATH_PI, etc.)
