The UWP build ?

[segaduck]

Hi, I am thinking of starting to try to build an UWP build of supermodel, because the Xbox One /Series S /X using the x86 CPU and AMD GPU and you can run your own UWP builds in developer's mode without modding your console.

I did some google and find a guy who successfully built UWP version of SDL

Is anyone familiar with UWP could give me some more instructions or hints and I can try to build the UWP version ?
Thank you.

I did some search again and I found that it is not as easy as I thought because OpenGL in not supported in UWP !!!

I saw a conversion package named "ANGLE" but it looks too complicated for me ...

Angle is just like an opengl wrapper / emulator. It translates calls to direct3d. I think it only supports opengl es which is a cut down version of opengl. Best bet would be to just port the renderer to direct 3d.

UWP is a nightmare and I don’t see how this could easily be accomplished. I’m not even sure if standard C library stuff like fopen() is supported.

It could be an interesting exercise in refactoring Supermodel, though, better separating the core and OSD stuff from each other.

It sounds like a nightmare-level challenge. Too bad.
