Ok, it's all about finding the right abstracion level I guess. Which brings me to my next question. If my understanding is correct sdl.lisp is at the same abstracion-level as SDL itself. util-sdl.lisp is one level higher, but still low enough not to "exclude" anyone (stuff like put-pixel and bliting functions). Then there's a possibility of a third level of abstracion. I guess something similar to pygame (www.pygame.org) and SDLdotnet. Is this correct? If it is then I'd really like to help create that high-level library. I've allready written a sprite (surface + rect in one) class and some methods on it, and I'm writing an animation class as well.
