SDL on top of WinRT

SDL Development

Hi,

is anyone already trying to add Metro support to SDL?

I just remebered today it could be a nice target to have SDL available for
metro applications
as well. But it requires a new backend built on top of WinRT/DirectX, which
is somehow
different from the Win32/DirectX, as far as I am aware.–

I’ve been wondering about this too. WinRT is apparently mostly
callback-based, so at the very least it would require some extra use
of SDL_atomic_t in, e.g., the read/write system to make certain that
applications didn’t try to access something that WinRT was still
using.> Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:21:03 +0100
