What to use for GUI elements

SDL Development
1

Hi,
I have written my pong game. Now I would like to make it possible
to change some settings (ball speed, paddle speed …).
For this I would like to use spinbox or slider.
Also later I would find use for text input, combo box, lists,
buttons (all sort) etc.
Any recommendation?

There are GUI libs on top of SDL, though I haven’t used them.
Check http://www.libsdl.org/ , under the “Libraries” page, and search around.
“Paragui” is one I hear mentioned a lot, but again – I haven’t used any
myself. I just roll my own. You can, too!On Wed, Aug 06, 2008 at 05:05:55PM +0200, Martin wrote:
