I was just wondering. How standard is SDL? Is it used commercially for cross-platform games or would any commercial company never use SDL because they''ll just create base classes for all platforms specifically? -CProgrammer

Well, SDL was used for the Linux port of Civilization: Call to Power, not sure about any other commercial games. But I think that the quality of some of the amature devlopment projects speaks louder than its commercial success at the moment.

As I remember, Unreal Tournament 2004 uses SDL to provide Linux support. Is that commercial enough for ya

Chronic Logic''s games, Triptych and Pontifex II used SDL. They were (or are?) available for Windows and Linux (dunno about Mac, possibly)

These are definitely commercial games as I bought them
