Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
|
|
|
|
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
|
|
|
|
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
|
|
|
|
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
|

and many Humble Bundle games.

SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.
|
|
|
|
Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings
|
|
|
|
available for several other languages, including C# and Python.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found
|
|
|
|
in the file "COPYING.txt".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
|
|
|
|
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
