Frame buffer crate

[FloVanGH]

Hello together,

I want to test raqote together with a winit based implementation. Therefore I need a framebuffer crate that could be used with winit. I found pixels https://github.com/parasyte/pixels, but unfortunately it is not stable enough now for my purposes. Do you know any alternatives?

There's https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit-blit but it doesn't have a great platform support yet. When I get a chance I'll see about contributing a Mac backend.

I tried this today but ran into a problem with winit: rust-windowing/winit#1605

Any progress? One of our OrbTk contributors work on a new window / event library. It could also used to draw on the frame buffer. I hope it will be a success.

No progress.

I created an example using raqote with pixels: parasyte/pixels#118

@parasyte that's great 🙂

I wrote Softbuffer for just this purpose. It has a fairly severe bug on Mac OS right now, but I'm working on fixing it and it's been completely stable on Windows, X11, and Wayland in my usage.
