[HD] 2D Image Sample

Description:

This application is a simple example of how to load a PNG file into a texture and render it on-screen. This certainly pales in comparison to some of the other applications that have been posted; however, it should be quite useful to developers building applications that do not require the complexity of 3D graphics with OpenGL ES 2.0.

This is also the first OpenZDK application to implement exiting via the home button, avoiding the need for alternative means of exiting the application as well as the "wallpaper effect".

Very helpful info, and glad to see the home button being utilized now.

Helpful,
thanks!

Actually, DOOM added the "exit with home button" functionality a while back But still, sweetness.

As far as I know, Netrix implemented Doom so that it always reboots when you press the button (but exits-without-reboot if you use the menu). I assume that the next revision of Doom will incorporate code for home button-based exit however.

A reboot is still required to use protected content though. Is this likely to be resolved in the future?

Oh, I thought that is what you meant. He implemented the restart-at-exit-with-home-button feature so you do not have to manually restart. He won't change that. You can touch the screen with 4 fingers to exit without restarting on DOOM

The reason for that was so that you wouldn't get the "wallpaper effect", where the app runs simultaneously with the menu. With this new snippet, it's possible to detect when the home button is pressed and exit properly in that case, eliminating the raison d'être of that particular hack.

I would also like to know this.

It depends on the Zune team.

and yet they're doing a better job than any other democratic teams in providing us with more features and cool stuff
