SDL_gfx and SDL 1.3

SDL Development
#1

I have a project that makes pretty heavy use of SDL_gfx’s rotozoom functions, and I’m very interested in updating it to SDL 1.3
So, I’m wondering, has anyone had success using these functions with SDL 1.3?

Now don’t quote me on this, but I believe with the 3D backend (OpenGL/DirectX)
you will have the functions built in.

I’m just now getting my hands dirty with 1.3, so I don’t know this for certain.

So I’d suggest looking into the new 1.3 api and
see if it has rotation and zooming/scaling added to the api.

Again, this is a “should be”.
Though I’m not sure how it would handle it with a software backend.

Another option would be to use SDL for windowing and events
and use OpenGL for drawing.

Hope that was helpful.
