Hello!
I would like to know if there are plans to integrate SDL_net, SDL_net2 and
SDL_fastevents into SDL 1.3 core.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis Schridde—

Fastevents, or rather changes to the SDL event system to the same
effect, sounds like a good idea to me (although this pretty much
rules out platforms without threads, I think) - but why net and
NET2…? The event system is tightly integrated with SDL, but network
and stuff like that works just fine as add-on libs. (Even better with
something like fastevents right in the core.)

Are there platforms without?
And even if: For them the old behaviour could still stay, I think.

To me networking is not less an integral part of a multimedia and
platform-independency layer than is audio or video support.
So, without knowing the internals in SDL, I think that it wouldn’t harm if it
would go into the core.
Further questions:
SDL_Init() docs say that SDL_INIT_VIDEO initialises also the event system (and
thus the event system can not exist without the video system). Is it planed
to remove that limitation, to support eg. server applications better?
Will the event-joystick be enabled by default, so it is easier to use?
(Didn’t take a deep look into this yet, but I’ll begin to need joystick
support in a while.)

I don’t think so. SDL should only provide
the basic things and let other libs do the higher stuff.
CU
Are there answers to this? Can I find them in a specific place so I don’t have
to ask you all the time?
Thanks,
Dennis
