11 This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a generic API that provides low
|
|
|
12 level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
|
|
|
13 and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.
|
|
|

|
|
|
15 SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
|
|
|
16 several other languages, including Ada, Eiffel, ML, Perl, and Python.
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X,
|
|
|
19 FreeBSD, Solaris, and IRIX. The code contains support for Windows CE,
|
|
|
20 OpenBSD, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, and QNX, but these are not yet
|
|
|
21 officially supported.

23 This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
|
|
|
24 found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL
|
|
|
25 freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
|
|
|
26 library.
|
|
|

|
|
|
28 The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
|
|
|
29 the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
|
|
|
30 The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
|
|
|
31 More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html"
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.
