SDL Library bindings
Set of modules providing a fast interface to various SDL components.
Project outline
Project documentation: online.
Development trunk at: svn://falconpl.org/falcon/modules/sdl
Detailed description
SDL (Simple Direct Layer) is a small framework providing basic multiplatform layer to the graphic, sound and input subsystems.
The modules developed under this project are "smart bindings" of SDL, following its overall modular structure and providing separate modules to access different SDL components.
The binding is "smart" because it doesn't simply replicates the SDL API: it provides an optimal bridge between the SDL low level representation of devices and the capabilities of a 4th generation language as Falcon.
At the moment, only the vast majority of the base SDL module, SDL_ttf, SDL_mixer and SDL_Image are covered. We're working to provide more interfaces (ffmpg).
Also, we're working towards an essential but powerful SDL based GUI meant for full-screen applications (i.e. games).
