Simple 2D Rendering API

SDL Development
1

Hi. Glad to hear that SDL 2.0 is out. :slight_smile:

Currently I’m studying OpenGL 2.1 with GLSL 1.2 to develop/study about game
programming.

I was looking the features that SDL2 has and noticed the simple 2D
rendering API.
I’m curious about this feature.

  1. If I have some kind of limitation using the API, will it be too
    difficult to implement or extend the functionalities?

  2. Is it possible (or is it the idea) in the future create a simple 3D
    rendering API? Or this is too good to be true?

Thanks.

Asking for a simple 3D renderer is like asking for water that isn’t wet. :P________________________________
