Website: SDL extensions

Hi!

Could you add a download section with references to SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_net and SDL_ttf to the new homepage, so one doesn’t have to search the wiki or the forum?

Admittedly, this is one of the things about the old page that was rather nice: It was not hard to find middleware and libraries for SDL?both those that are “standard” extensions developed in tandem with SDL, and those that are a little less standard, but still useful.

I recall, for example, a very nice and widely used package for 1.2 that gave you access to zip files through rwops
Handy feature, that. And I bet it probably compiles either completely or nearly completely without so much as a hiccup under 2.0, being not as tightly integrated as say SDL_ttf or SDL_mixer.

Could that possible have been a PhyicsFS wrapper?

A quick search suggests it was probably a wrapper around zziplib, but
a PhysicsFS wrapper would be quite trivial (and quite useful!)

I have this on my TODO list, but it involves completely rewriting the old
php code and I’ve got some exciting and time consuming things happening at
work this month.

If somebody wants to take a crack at it, you’re more than welcome:

Just out of curiosity, what’s wrong with that old code?On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Sam Lantinga wrote:
