Description
It will be better to use SDL for Anubis graphical primitive. There is a few good reasons to use SDL.
- It is available on very various OS
- It has a support of various techno, like TrueType font rendering (The end of bitmap fonts, which get a lot of place on hard drive)
- It is optimized for each OS for using the hardware acceleration if it available
- a lot of extensions like
- SDL_image - support for multiple image formats
- SDL_mixer - complex audio functions, mainly for sound mixing
- SDL_net - networking support
- SDL_ttf - TrueType Font rendering support
- SDL_rtf - simple Rich Text Format rendering
- SMPEG - SDL MPEG Player Library
- Guichan and ParaGUI - Widget Sets
- GGI - a free cross-platform graphics interface

Ok, but it would also be nice to have an interface to OpenGL. Maybe through SDL.
