2d library

SDL Development
1

Sorry for a newbie question, but anyway: I need a 2d library for SDL.
I am trying to convert my game from Blitz3d and I got the mappy class
(it’s great!) but also I need alpha, rotation and zooming for my
sprites, there is a dozen of 2d libraries at sf.net but the ones i’ve
checked seem to be a little outdated, is there a 2d library for sdl to
satisfy my needs and to be maintained at the moment? Thanks in
advance!–

for rotation and zooming, try SDL_Rotozoom, its in the libraries section of
the SDL page.

for alpha blending, sdl already supports alpha, do some research on it.

Something else to think about though…why not use OpenGL but just draw in
2d?

That way you would have HARDWARE ACCELERATED (DUN DUN DUN!!!) rotation and
zooming, alpha etc.

it would be much faster for people with 3d cards…which is most people
nowadays.> ----- Original Message -----
