SDL Development

HI guys

I like sdl but i also like allegro because it has more 2d effects(more
blending types,scaling rotating … )
i was thinking about a port of the allegro video part to sdl.

what do you think about it?

I think Allegro supports almost all the same platforms SDL does, so if
you like that API better, go ahead and use it directly! :slight_smile:

Allegro only supports one plattform that SDL
does not support and that is DOS.

Porting the complete Video Part makes no sense,
as the Video Functions in SDL are really good.
Maybe port some of the Sprite Rotating Functions, the
DATA Files Handler or that things.

But most of these things are in
some other form available on SDL already.

For rotating Sprites there is SDL_gfx/SDL_rotozoom,
DATA Files Handler like Ryan Gordons PhysFS.
