−Due to multiple GPL violations MLlib has been removed from WiiBrew. Until such a time as it complies with the GPL it will not be allowed on WiiBrew. See the [[Talk:MLlib|discussion page]] for more information. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 19:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)+

+The '''MLlib''' (or Minishlink's Library) is a simple library to develop on Nintendo Wii. Technically, it's a wrapper of libogc and others librairies. Coding with this lib on Wii is way easier and faster now ! :-) I created this because I needed a library with I could code with easy functions. It uses [[GX]] for drawing, [[libpng]] for handling PNG, and libs of [[libogc]]...
+==Features==
+* Proper code so that it's nice to see;
+* Easy for all;
+* Friendly functions;
+* Handles drawing (lol);
+* Sprite system;
+* Handles PNG images;
+* Special effects;
+* Write graphically text;
+* MP3 system;
+* MOD system;
+* Input (Wiimote, Nunchuk, and extensions...) system;
+* And much more...
+==How to install ?==
+===On Windows===
+First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Windows)|install]] it ! ;)
+Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
+# Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
+# Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro\libogc\lib\wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro\libogc\include".
+# It's done !
+Now the '''MLlib'''.
+# Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
+# Extract the archive and place the folder (recommended in C:\devkitPro)
+# Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
+# Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/c/devkitPro/MLlib" because it must be linux-style) To do that, open the Start menu, right-click on Computer -> Properties, then go to the advanced settings -> environments variables. Set it there. It's recommended to restart the computer.
+# It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D (test if it works via an example)
+===On Linux===
+First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Linux)|install]] it ! ;)
+Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
+# Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
+# Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro/libogc/lib/wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro/libogc/include".
+# It's done !
+Now the '''MLlib'''.
+# Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
+# Extract the archive and place the folder where you want (recommended in /home/user/devkitpro)
+# Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
+# Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/home/username/devkitpro/MLlib") To do that, open and type in a new console:
+ export MLPATH=/path/to/MLlib
+It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D
+(test if it works via an example)
+===On Mac OS X===
+You should be able to do it if you read Windows/Linux instructions.
+Updated tutorial will coming soon though, with Mac OS X ;)
+==Notes==
+===Quickstart===
+For a quickstart, see the section [[#How_to_install_.3F|How to install ?]] and go see the examples in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package ! ;)
+===Tutorials and Wiki===
+Some tutorials and more info are available at the [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/wiki MLlib Wiki].
+===Documentation===
+Online documentation is available [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/documentation here]. Or in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
+==="MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package===
+It can be downloaded on [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code] !
+===Error when compiling the template/examples ?===
+To test correctly the examples and the template, make sure you have done a "make clean" before, because it will give you the error
+ make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/minishlink/devkitpro/MLlib_Others/template/source/main.c', needed by `main.o'. Stop.
+if you don't do this ! :p
+===Makefile & Commands===
+====Editing Makefile====
+In order to use the MOD part of the MLlib, you need to uncomment the line "USE_MOD" at the top of the Makefile. It's the same thing when you need to compile code that uses MP3 or FAT.
+====Make====
+Compiles the project.
+====Make clean====
+Cleans the project, it destroys dependancies too.
+====Make run====
+It sends the app/game previously compiled to the Wii via the wiiload program. It's quiet useful because you don't need to type "wiiload projectXYZ.dol", "make run" is faster !
+You have to put the original [[Wiiload]] program (eg. the command-line program, which is provided with Twilight Hack or HBC) in the system folder of your OS. Example : "C:\Windows\System32" for Windows ; "/usr/bin" for Linux ; "??? #FixIt" for MaxOSX.
+Wiiload program can be downloaded [http://louislagrange.free.fr/downloads/wiiload.tar.gz here] or in the [[Hackmii Installer]] (beta 3 or newer).
+====Make all====
+It cleans the project, then compiles and then sends to the Wii.
+==Bugs & Suggestions==
+If you have any bugs or suggestions, feel free to report them on [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/issues/list Google Code].

+* added : ML_AnimateSpriteEx(sprite, enabled, waitForXRefreshBetweenFrames, from, to)
+* added : ML_TextBox(ML_Sprite *sprite, x, y, x2, y2, const char *text, ...)
+* added : ML_DrawRect(int x, int y, u16 width, u16 height, u32 rgba)
+* added : ML_Debug(text)
+* added : ML_CloneImage(image1, image2)
+* added : ML_DrawSpriteTextLimit(sprite, x, y, text, limit)
+* added : ML_FlipImageX(image)

+* modified : ML_GetPixelColor
+* modified : ML_SetPixelColor
+* modified : ML_SplashScreen
+* modified : ML_Cursor, so that it draws your cursor/sprite with the center of the image, and then modifies the sprite.x and sprite.y so that if you point to the left-up edge of the screen it gives you 0, 0.
+* fixes and optimizations
