Ok, it seams that the mailing list didn’t like that
I used another account, so all my replies must been in
a suspend state. Here goes what I think from the previous
postings.
Why call it SDL_math ?
for nothing in special, I just though that since it is
a math library to be used with SDL that would be a nice name.
For example, NVidia has one that is part of their NVToolkit.
Why C over C++ ?
please note that I only use C when I must, for example at
work. Other than that, when I have to choose between C or C++
I always choose C++, unless there’s a good reason for not doing
it. In this case the good reason was that all the other SDL_* libs
are coded in C but since the library would have any dependecy on
SDL, maybe C++ is the way.
Do we really need another math library ?
maybe “we” don’t, but I do because in all the programs that I did
back at the university I suffered from ‘tying the math with the algorithm’.
Now I work in a Software development house and only code graphic aplications
as an hobby, so I NEED to have a better library that the ones I used to
have.
If someone else could benefit from that then it will be good.
So maybe I will code my library using some of the advices that I have read
from some of you and make it available on the libraries section.–
