The libraries and API are excellently designed and the project documentation is great. After banging my head against DirectX and even OpenGL for a while, this comes as a great relief, and I love the fact that my game will eventually run on Linux (and Windows, and FreeBSD, and Be, and MacOS, etc.). Still, I'm really early on in development, and even though I haven't had any problems yet, I'm wondering if I will, namely in performance. My question is this, how many programmers out there are tinkering or hacking or professionally coding with the SDL? How does it perform as the project gets bigger? How does it rank as a game programming library? Will it eventually be Linux's answer to DirectX?" Napster Goes Before US Congress Printed Embedded Data GUIs Slashdot Login Nickname:

Extractions: In this part of the course, you will learn to become familiar with designing and developing protocols using SDL with Telelogic 's SDT/TAU. Using SDT: Telelogic SDT-tool can be used from all SUN-stations in lintula. First you have to add /share/telelogic42/bin to your PATH variable, and /share/telelogic42/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Then SDT is started by typing "sdt". Please note: As the SDT software has just been upgraded recently from 3.4 to 4.2, you may encounter several warnings when doing your assignments. Also the assignments were prepared for the older version, so there may be slight differences in some menu options, checkboxes. etc. However this should not affect your work. The SDT Graphical Tools SDT comprises the following graphical tools: The SDL Editor is used for creating, editing and printing specifications and descriptions using the graphical SDL notation defined in the standard Z.100. The SDL Editor also performs various syntax checks at editing time.

Extractions: FLTK and SDL Programming a modern and innovative human - machine interface is easy, if you use an embedded GUI. (GUI = Graphical User Interface) A lot of embedded GUI versions are available for small embedded Linux systems. To make it comfortable for you, we especially support : SDL - Simple Direct Layer from www.libsdl.org SDL is a small but powerful graphic toolkit, based on the programming language C. It allows the usage of different text fonts, animated bitmaps and other feature. SDL is currently supported inside the startup package / starter kit for TRM/816 and TRM/916. This means inside the startup package we of offering SDL patches, an SDL runtime and various SDL demo samples for this systems. Additionally you will find the current files inside our FTP area e.g. for the TRM/816: FLTK - Fast Light Toolkit from www.fltk.org FLTK is even a powerful GUI, but it contains much more graphic features, full mouse (touch) support, colors and it is based on C++ programming. It needs a framebuffer version directly on the system. FLTK with framebuffer version is currently supported in TRM/916, IPCxx, BB2xx and BB2xx10 products. For these products we are offering an FLTK GUI CD with complete FLTK files for your development. The GUI CD contains the FLTK enviroment and FLTK given sample files. You can install the FLTK developer version at your desktop, compile the given demos and transfer and try them directly at the IPC series.

Extractions: by Peter Henningsen , in Book Reviews - Saturday, October 20th 2001 00:00 PST I really enjoyed reading this book. John "Overcode" Hall obviously likes playing and programming games, and his enthusiasm is contagious. His book is both an entertaining read and a useful tutorial and reference for people who want to do game programming on Linux. All reader-contributed material on freshmeat.net is the property and responsibility of its author; for reprint rights, please contact the author directly. Title: Programming Linux Games Author: Loki Software Inc. with John R. Hall Publisher: No Starch Press Purchase URL: http://www.nostarch.com/plg.htm The book is aimed at people who know how to work with Linux and who can program in C, and it wants to be of interest to everyone meeting these criteria, whether they're absolute beginners in game programming or professionally porting games to Linux. This is a bit strange; while the first two chapters are spent explaining the difference between game genres and introducing gcc make gdb , and CVS (with a specific slant to what game programmers need to know), later in the book, we get chapters on low-level audio programming and programming directly to the Linux framebuffer. This is useful for people who program game libraries or port commercial games, but rather useless for people who just want to write their own computer games as efficiently as possible.

Extractions: Welcome Company profile Products Freware ... Private This document describes how to use the Standard ML bindings for Sam Lantiga's SDL library. SDL stands for Simple DirectMedia Layer and it is a library for creating sound, fast graphics, getting mouse and keyboard input etc. 'Stanard ML' is a typesafe higher order functional programming language - i.e. very different from (and usually much better than :) imperative object oriented languages, such as 'C', 'C++', 'Java', 'Pascal' etc. SDL runs on lots of operating systems. The SDL::ML bindings are implemented for the compilers MLKit and 'MLTon'. 'MLTon' officially supports Linux, but will possibly work with other Unices too. I have succeeded (with help from Stephen T. Weeks) in making it crosscompile SDL applications from Linux to Windows, which is described in Making MLTon crosscompile applications from Linux to Windows MLKit supports at least Linux and HPUX, but should also work on other Unices. I have also succeeded in Making MLKit crosscompile applications from Linux to Windows In my experience

It is built on top of the native APIs of these platforms thereby taking advantage of any hardware acceleration for graphics and sound that these APIs provide. For example, under Windows, SDL can use DirectX to accelerate its blit functionality. In lieu of its own 2D API, SDL also provides an OpenGL context which you can use in conjunction with the other non-graphics SDL APIs. See: http://www.libsdl.org

SDL on a windows system uses DirectX itself to access the actual video and sound hardware. While on a X11 system SDL uses the X11 libraries to access the video hardware.

To make things harder, there are a million different ways to make a graphical user interface. All windowing systems (X11, Windows, etc.) have a standard set of functions to accomplish this feat. These libraries allow programmers to create a window, respond to key presses, mouse movements and clicks, draw lines, display text. It is the bare bones. Other libraries have abstracted this layer, allowing the program to make use of text boxes, command buttons, scroll bars, menu bars, combo boxes, etc. A few of these would be GTK+, Qt, MFC, and V.
