Worked on the libsdl-org/sdl2-compat repository to address a surface conversion bug related to pixel format handling. Focused on stabilizing SDL2-compat by reverting a previous change that cached SDL_PixelFormatDetails, instead deriving pixel formats dynamically using SDL3_GetPixelFormatForMasks. This approach resolved issue #542, reducing rendering regressions and improving compatibility between SDL2 and SDL3 APIs. Demonstrated strong debugging skills and careful use of git for targeted reverts, ensuring codebase stability and clear documentation. Utilized C and C++ for graphics programming and software development, emphasizing cross-API interoperability and user-visible correctness in rendering across different SDL versions.
Month 2025-11: Stabilized SDL2-compat surface conversions by correcting Pixel Format handling. Key action: reverted the caching of SDL_PixelFormatDetails and switched to deriving pixel formats via SDL3_GetPixelFormatForMasks, resolving surface conversion issues and addressing Issue #542. Result: reduced rendering regressions, improved cross-API compatibility and user-visible correctness. Skills demonstrated: C/C++, SDL API interop (SDL2/SDL3), debugging, targeted git revert, and clear commit messaging.
