spine-sfml

The spine-sfml runtime provides functionality to load, manipulate and render Spine skeletal animation data using SFML. spine-sfml is based on spine-c.

Licensing

This Spine Runtime may only be used for personal or internal use, typically to evaluate Spine before purchasing. If you would like to incorporate a Spine Runtime into your applications, distribute software containing a Spine Runtime, or modify a Spine Runtime, then you will need a valid Spine license. Please see the Spine Runtimes Software License for detailed information.

The Spine Runtimes are developed with the intent to be used with data exported from Spine. By purchasing Spine, Section 2 of the Spine Software License grants the right to create and distribute derivative works of the Spine Runtimes.

Spine version

spine-sfml works with data exported from Spine 3.5.xx.

spine-sfml supports all Spine features.

spine-sfml does not yet support loading the binary format.

Usage

1. Create a new SFML project. See the SFML documentation or have a look at the example in this repository.
2. Download the Spine Runtimes source using git (git clone https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes) or download it as a zip
3. Add the sources from spine-c/spine-c/src/spine and spine-sfml/src/spine to your project
4. Add the folder spine-c/spine-c/include to your header search path. Note that includes are specified as #inclue <spine/file.h>, so the spine directory cannot be omitted when copying the source files.

See the Spine Runtimes documentation on how to use the APIs or check out the Spine SFML example.

Example

The Spine SFML example works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Windows

1. Install Visual Studio 2015 Community. Make sure you install support for C++ as well as th Windows SDK for XP/7/8.
2. Install CMake via the Windows installer package.
3. Download the Spine Runtimes repository using git (git clone https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes) or download it as a zip
4. Run CMake GUI from the start menu
5. Click Browse Source and select the directory spine-runtimes
6. Click Browse Build and select the spine-runtimes/spine-sfml/build directory. You can create the build folder directly in the file dialog via New Folder.
7. Click Configure. Then click Generate. This will create a Visual Studio 2015 solution file called spine.sln in spine-runtimes/spine-sfml/build and also download the SFML dependencies.
8. Open the spine.sln file in Visual Studio 2015
9. Right click the spine-sfml-example project in the solution explorer and select Set as Startup Project from the context menu
10. Right click the spine-sfml-example project in the solution explorer and select Properties from the context menu
11. Select Debugging in the left-hand list, then set Working Directory to $(OutputPath)
12. Click Local Windows Debugger to run the example

The entire example code is contained in main.cpp

Linux

1. Install the SFML dependencies, e.g. on Ubuntu/Debian via sudo apt-get install -y libpthread-stubs0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libfreetype6-dev libglew1.5-dev libjpeg8-dev libsndfile1-dev libopenal-dev libudev-dev libxcb-image0-dev libjpeg-dev libflac-dev
2. Install CMake, e.g. on Ubuntu/Debian via sudo apt-get install -y cmake
3. Download the Spine Runtimes repository using git (git clone https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes) or download it as a zip
4. Open a terminal, and cd into the spine-runtimes/spine-sfml folder
5. Type mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../.. to generate Make files
6. Type make to compile the example
7. Run the example by cd spine-sfml-example && ./spine-sfml-example

Mac OS X

1. Install Xcode
2. Install Homebrew
3. Open a terminal and install CMake via brew install cmake
4. Download the Spine Runtimes repository using git (git clone https://github.com/esotericsoftware/spine-runtimes) or download it as a zip
5. Open a terminal, and cd into the spine-runtimes/spine-sfml folder
6. Type mkdir build && cd build && cmake -G Xcode ../.. to generate an Xcode project called spine.xcodeproj
7. Open the Xcode project in spine-runtimes/spine-sfml/build/
8. In Xcode, set the active scheme from ALL_BUILD to spine-sfml-example
9. Click the Run button or type CMD+R to run the example
