Newbee question. Does SDL have hooks for distributed applications?

Does SDL itself have hooks for distributed applications?

For example, can an sdl application on one machine interface
with sdl applications on other machines through any framework
provided by sdl?

Thanks,

Short and simple answer: No.

Long and more demanding answer: You can create a simple framework with
SDL_net or SDL_net2 as base. And as someone with a basic education in
distributed computing I am a bit sceptical about true general purpose
frameworks that works on top of TCP/IP or MPI.On Mon, 26 Feb 2007, bsd_mike wrote:

If you mean in a general distributed sense (like CORBA or DCOM), no.

But you can run an application on one machine, and display the video on
another via the X11 video target, and play its audio on a third with one
of the network audio targets (nas, esound, arts).

Also, there are wrappers for networking sockets, if you just want two
programs to talk over a network, specifically SDL_net, but this isn’t
Remote Procedure Call or anything.
