Some crazy Idea...
Author
Hey, is it possible to mix up all of the graphics/sound API? For example, I want to do a 3D background in OpenGL, the sprite handling in Allegro and sounds with SDL and user controls with Direct X? :D
I don't think it is easy if at all possible to mix OpenGL and Direct3D, but you can use other APIs for different uses, like networking and sound.

I wouldn't use multiple libraries for the graphics, however using different API's in a game is something that is done quite often, for example:
- OpenGL for 3D graphics
- DirectInput for user input handling
- FMOD for sound effects
It's not that crazy.

Why would you want to do that though when the functionality is already in your hands? Why get something else when you already have what's needed?
