- Simple DirectMedia Layer
- (SDL)
- Version 1.2
- ---
- http://www.libsdl.org/
- This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
- level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
- and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.
- The current version supports Linux, Windows CE/95/98/ME/XP/Vista, BeOS,
- MacOS Classic, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX,
- and QNX. The code contains support for Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
- RISC OS, SymbianOS, Nintendo DS, and OS/2, but these are not officially
- supported.
- SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
- several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
- Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
- Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.
- This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
- found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL
- freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
- library.
- The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
- the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
- The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
- More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
- a documentation wiki is available online at:
- http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi
- The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.
- Frequently asked questions are answered online:
- http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php
- If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related
- issues, you can join the developers mailing list:
- http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php
- Enjoy!
