cmus-rg

cmus-rg (cmus-remote graphical)

A simple graphical cmus status display in C using SDL2. Developed for educational purposes, with great inspiration from [https://github.com/dashed/tetris-sdl-c].

• SDL2_gfx-devel
• SDL2_image
• SDL2_image-devel
• SDL2_ttf
• SDL2_ttf-devel

features in need of implementation

one day for sure

• support for resizing
• album art support
• dynamic font loading
  • half heartedly implemented
• multi font drifting (?!)
  • requires replacing current draw_text with a method that uses preassembled (cached) SDL_Textures with characters using their respective TTF_Font, probably (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45716356/utf-text-in-sdl2)
  • sounds like a big pain in the ass
• better text representation or mode toggle (show only meta, tags or set)
• actual cmus-remote functionality (pausing cmus, et cetera)
• dimension flags for scripting
