How can I list the contents of a folder, remaining indipendent from the OS I’m running on? (obviously I’m not
interested in OS-dipendent things like permissions, owner/group, hidden/system/archive flags etc., i just need
file names and sizes and subfolders).
There is no totally portable way of doing this, but the POSIX API
(opendir(), readdir() etc) seems to be available on practically all
Unix-like platforms, as well as some others. (I know it works on Win32
with MinGW32, but I’m not sure if that’s MinGW32 wrapping the native
Win32 API or not.)
Other than that, there are some libraries that do this. (The authors of
these will probably post URLs. 
I have one as well (in Kobo Deluxe), but I’ve hardly been using those
features so far, so I’m not even sure they work well on Win32, let alone
any other OS. (I’m working exclusively on Linux, only crosscompiling
Win32 binaries occasionally.)

you can use physfs

Might be overkill, depending on what you’re doing.

SDL does not offer this feature, you might look at PhysicsFS or so.On Fri, Apr 19, 2002 at 07:20:56PM +0200, CRV?ADER/KY wrote:

I’m creating a cards game, in wich:
1)The cards are surfaces that can be dragged with the mouse around a SPECIFIED area of the screen without
annoying the main program
2)The cards must have:
click() event
create(from bitmap) and destroy() functions
3)(If possible) they should be able to reuse the same bitmaps in memory (there are card that are equal to each
other)
4)The cards may be partially put on the top of each other. I must be able to choose wich one stays on top.
5)(If possible) I need to rotate them 90 degrees right/left, realtime.
Are there any libraries that do so or I have to write them myself?
I’m writing the main program in C so it would be great if the library weren’t in C++ (or I’ll have to write a
wrapper, duh)
Thanks

You could always download a card game from download.com if you don’t want to
program anything yourself ;-)> ----- Original Message -----
