Anyone successfully using SDL?

Someone a while back was working on SDL for linux. Don't know how far he got.

I think it'd be a great thing to have for all the platforms.

Yeah. Found some wrappers by fsw here:

I think I might have a quick try at working out the structures, etc, needed.

I wonder how he generated those.

I really think SDL for pb would add a TON of power. Especially if you include the sdl_gfx extensions for rotating surfaces and such.

There are lots of potential data type workarounds needed. Esp unsigned longs and double precision floats.

bleh we solved all problems on our project.
but no, we aint using any external libs, nor code from other's.
thats why I say: "if PB lacks of something and you cant programm that something, then you might lack of something too"

I accept that I lack some things. Time is one of them.

Yup, kinda the whole reason to use PB, eh?
