iOS example
Introduction
This example is the default XCode "OpenGL" example code, modified to support ImGui and Synergy.
Synergy (remote keyboard/mouse) is not required, but it's pretty hard to use ImGui without it. Synergy includes a "uSynergy" library that allows embedding a synergy client, this is what is used here. ImGui supports "TouchPadding", and this is enabled when Synergy is not active.
How to Use
- In Synergy, go to Preferences, and uncheck "Use SSL encryption"
- Run the example app.
- Tap the "servername" button in the corner
- Enter the name or the IP of your synergy host
- If you had previously connected to a server, you may need to kill and re-start the app.
Notes and TODOs
Things that would be nice but I didn't get around to doing:
- iOS software keyboard not supported for text inputs
- iOS hardware (bluetooth) keyboards not supported
- Graceful disconnect/reconnect from uSynergy.
- Copy/Paste not well-supported
C++ on iOS
ImGui is a c++ library. If you want to include it directly, rename your Obj-C file to have the ".mm" extension.
Alternatively, you can wrap your debug code in a C interface, this is what I am demonstrating here with the "debug_hud.h" interface. Either approach works, use whatever you prefer.
In my case, most of my game code is already in C++ so it's not really an issue and I can use ImGui directly.
