Simple DirectMedia Layer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(SDL)
|
||
|
|
|

|

Version 1.2

|
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.
