This is a step towards supporting "Universal" Windows apps, when building for Windows Phone. SDL can now build against the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, and apps linked to it can run, however further work and testing is required as some previously Phone-only code appears to no longer be applicable for Windows Phone 8.1. The Windows 8.1 code paths does seem to be preferable, but should probably be tested and updated on a finer-grained basis. If in doubt, use the Windows Phone 8.0 projects for now, as located in VisualC-WinRT/WinPhone80_VS2012/ TODO: - look at any Windows Phone specific code paths in SDL, and see if Phone 8.1 should use the Windows Phone code path(s), or the Windows 8.x or 8.1 paths
Simple DirectMedia Layer
(SDL)
Version 2.0

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.
