Goodday to you all.
I was wondering wheter it would be possible to use my networking code which
is build on top of SDL_Net without video making it possible for a SDL_Net
enabled application to run as a system service, this would be a verry nice
feature for a game server.

i do this, its easy, you initialize sdl still, but just dont set the video
mode (:> ----- Original Message -----

sure, don’t use SDL_INITVIDEO in SDL_Init() and don’t try any surface action 
Have fun, bye,

You are also unable to run SDL apps from a remote connection, as it
requires a local keyboard it seems.
Are there any reasons for these two constraints that do not appear to
have any benefits? Speak up if you are in the know!

well, i know part of this…go ahead and do an sdl_initvideo, doesnt mean
you have to set the video mode. It is more overhead to use SDL for just a
system service IMO, it would be really nice to see a non-SDL dependant
version of SDL_Net, cause alot of us are making clients AND servers, and
servers rarely need the SDL extensions themselves, but it is nice for us
developers to have a multiplatform network library.

I’m hoping for an SDL_Net version you can build independant of the SDL core
lib, or at build it with the stuff it needs from SDL without all the
extra’s, but this will do for now (maybe in SDL 2.0?). I do hope someone
will look into this because it’s like the saying go’s : Where there’s a
client,… there’s usually a server :o)

I spent some time digging around in SDL_Net while I was working on NET2.
I didn’t see that much in their that was that dependent on the core of
SDL. It would be worth someones time to take a look at what it would
really take to separate SDL_Net from the core of SDL.

As an aside, depending on what you’re trying to do, I’ve found ENet
to be a phenomenally well done, but minimal, package.
