Hello. I''m just wondering (this isn''t a poll) what every one using SDL thinks? Do you like it? Do you find it simple to use? If you''ve used DirectDraw before, which API do you like better? What kind have games have you made with SDL?
Heh. I love SDL. It''s simple to the point where almost anyone with little programming expierience can use it, and it can do just as much as DirectDraw, so it is quite powerful. After using SDL, I''ve begun to understand the concept of game programming, and I think I''m ready to go back to OpenGL soon (I just wan''t to make a few 2D games; I gave up on OpenGL a few months back because 3D was alittle hard for me, but). SDL, for such a simplified API, is quite fast performance wise (even on my old computer that was horrible
), which is good because with OpenGL I had alot of speed problems, which was rather annoying.
I must say that I am personally happy with SDL, and I think anyone who uses/has used it will agree.
