Hi, I'm deciding whether or not to learn SDL 1.2 or SDL 2.0 because I want to learn the API and create some games before moving onto OpenGL. I know SDL 2.0 is newer and is hardware accelerated, but there's not a lot of tutorials (at least updated ones) to learn from. Lazyfoo's tutorials are for version 1.2 and are generally the only recommended good tutorials to learn SDL.
I'm deciding to learn SDL, create a few games, come back, and render things in opengl instead of using SDL. I was deciding between SFML 2.0 and SDL 1.2 or 2.0 but the platforms supported in SDL is much bigger, and I felt it outweighed the difference between the two. Also, since a lot of indie and commercial game companies are using SDL, it seemed to be a better API to learn.
I'm learning SDL to start out with because I need more games created under my belt before I dive into OpenGL. Once I get better game concepts and stuff, I'll be then able to switch over to OpenGL for my rendering which will ease the process if I were to just start out with OpenGL and SDL and start to create games from there.
Thanks.
