2d sprites

SDL Development

Hiya,

I’m getting a bit lazy in my old age. I was wondering if there is a
library out there someone could reccomend that (like sdl) is cross
platform and provides simple 2d sprites?

Thx

Ian

you could give my sge2d an attempt (see signature), but it’s SDL1 and won’t be ported to SDL2 as i am more into c++ nowadays and work on a new c++/SDL2 library from scratch (will take a while though)------------------------
sge2d (http://www.93i.de/products/software/sge2d) An open source sdl based game framework for c/c++ (sge++ for c++ available soon)

SDLU [1] provides what you want.

I’d greatly recommend SFML2.0 [1] to you. It is written fully in C++ and
embraces RAII
everywhere, making it very simple to work with. It is accelerated by OpenGL
under
the hood.

SFML is PC-only right now. If he strongly means “cross-platform”, I
wouldn’t go there. Is SFML 2 different?

SFML 2 is in the process of being ported to mobile (EGL+GLES) last time I
heard.
And yeah, if he wants to run his app on mobile platforms and his toaster,
for now
SDL2 is probably better suited.

For the record, SDL2 now provides some simple 2D functionality, and
hardware accelerated at that, so this probably just answers the
original question.

Thanks everyone, I’ll take a look at sdlu and have another go with
