[rcore] [SDL2] Add implementation for FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN

[asdqwe]

See #4598 (comment).

@asdqwe Actually, stop running is my expected behaviour when minimizing the Window, I think it's the optimal option, so being default.

About the other platforms, the ones that have the minimizing option I think implement similar alternatives (afair, Android also pauses the Activity and Web browsers pauses tabs activity when minimized/unselected tab).

I prefer to let the user configure it for the sub-optimal use case that is ALWAYS_RUN, but maybe the time counter can be reseted/paused if the flag is active.

Also, about the othe Desktop backends (SDL, RGFW), probably behaviour should be the same, just forgot about it when added.

Just thinking... what is the default behaviour for games on Windows?

[raysan5]

@asdqwe thank you very much for the testing and detailed explanations, I'm still thinking about it and the best way to address it. Maybe letting control to the user is the right way... but I'm afraid many users would not control it and just let the application running at full speed on background... but maybe more advanced/professional users would prefer to control it... 🤔

The other option is letting raylib to control it, like now, but instead of halting, reducing framerate... but in that case, probably better to give full control to user...

Since I was the one who posted issue #4588 which led to this issue being opened I figured I should give my two cents. I don't really care that much if the game stops or not when you minimize the game, but I do think it's bad if you minimize the game for 5 minutes and then when you open the game again GetFrameTime() returns 300 as it can cause all kinds of unexpected bugs.

As a developer I currently have two options to get around this.

A) Set FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN to true to avoid the issue entirely.
B) Replace all of my calls to GetFrameTime() with a wrapper function that calls GetFrameTime() and then caps the returning float to 0.1 or something like that.

@Volcanic-Penguin yeah, definitely GetFrameTime() should be reseted if not FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN and window is minimized/iconified.

There's a whole bunch of reasons a game can get stalled which results in high frame time. If a game can't handle it then this change is not going to help. As such I find this kind of thing unnecessary.

As requested (ref, ref), the PR was updated to instead add implementation for FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN on PLATFORM_DESKTOP_SDL and also reset the GetFrameTime() when FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN is not set and the window was iconified on PLATFORM_DESKTOP_GLFW and PLATFORM_DESKTOP_SDL.

PR can be tested with:

#include "raylib.h"
int main(void) {
    InitWindow(800, 450, "test");
    SetTargetFPS(60);
    while (!WindowShouldClose()) {

        if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_ONE))   { MinimizeWindow();                         TraceLog(LOG_INFO, "MINIMIZED");      }
        if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_TWO))   { SetWindowState(FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN);   TraceLog(LOG_INFO, "ALWAYS RUN ON");  }
        if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_THREE)) { ClearWindowState(FLAG_WINDOW_ALWAYS_RUN); TraceLog(LOG_INFO, "ALWAYS RUN OFF"); }

        TraceLog(LOG_INFO, "GetTime():%f   GetFrameTime():%f", GetTime(), GetFrameTime());

        BeginDrawing();
        ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
        EndDrawing();
    }
    CloseWindow();
    return 0;
}
