[Offtopic] Bankrupcy and SDL development

Just wondering how or if the bancrupcy of Loki games will affect the
development of SDL?

Hi,
I would hope that it does not affect it at all since the Source is
available to everyone to improve it.

Not at all. Most of the people working on SDL are not affiliated with Loki.

Umm… how would it? SDL is not a Loki product. It’s been around since
before the lead developer (Sam) worked for Loki, and is being developed
by countless non-Loki people.

Loki can go completely belly-up and SDL will be just fine.

Sorry to complain, but all of this Loki talk on this list is off-topic and
frankly getting annoying. :frowning:

yep, but one has to explain - people want to feel comfortable, they
want certainty, sometimes eternity, but just someone who comes along
and gives them a chap on the back telling them that everything is fine
and it will be and they don’t need to think at all especially no
worries to think about that do not exist in the first place…
Now it is done and that’s it - it was expectable, it’s all too human.
I just wondered that it took more than 48 hours to come up…

so, let’s get back to work, okay… :slight_smile:

It may mean that there are fewer good examples of programs that work great
using SDL, that’s all. Because of Loki’s work, many win32 developers who
are aware of Linux have started using SDL to make their programs more
portable. I hope they can pull themselves out of it.

As long as Blizzard doesn’t interfere with Sam working on it, I’m pretty
sure that SDL will keep getting better.On Wed, Aug 15, 2001 at 10:29:54AM +0200, Gorm Lai wrote:

Notice the off-topic word in the subject :slight_smile: Yes, it may be annoying but don’t
complain about something being offtopic when it’s clearly marked as such :)On Thu, Aug 16, 2001 at 10:00:19AM -0700, William Kendrick wrote:

No, “[OFFTOPIC]” does not absolve you from straying too far from the
topic of the list

Relax folks, SDL is just fine, and will continue to be worked on.

No worries. :slight_smile:
