One note that SDL is not use game engine or 3d library. Standard display for SDL is 2D. Please read http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.cgi/FAQUsingSDL
SDL is library as layer which link OS specific hardware, and others library (x11,gdi, window manager, sound, keyboard, etc) and our app. Commonly use for creating app from scratch like game, and I think MSEgui is like game development, it build GUI from scratch. Windows Two versions, one safe for all systems based on Win32 APIs, and one with higher performance, based on DirectX APIs Safe version uses GDI for video display. High performance version uses !Direct3D for video display, taking advantage of modern hardware acceleration Safe version uses waveOut APIs for sound. High performance version uses DirectSound for audio playback Mac OS X Uses Cocoa for video display, taking advantage of OpenGL for hardware acceleration Uses Core Audio for sound Linux Uses X11 for video display, taking advantage of OpenGL for hardware acceleration Uses the ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio APIs for sound iOS Uses UIKit for video display, taking advantage of OpenGL ES 2.0 for hardware acceleration Uses Core Audio for sound Android Uses JNI interfaces for video display, taking advantage of OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 for hardware acceleration Uses JNI audio callbacks for sound ================================================================= My temporary conclusion is to port MSEgui to all platform, we don't need use OpenGL/ES, but use SDL and friends (SDL_ttf, SDL_mixer, etc) as layer for any OS is enough. MSEgui only focus for GUI development and IDE and not focus for OS specific. ================================================================= http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2009/04/opengl-es-for-iphone-simple-tutorial.html http://www.anddev.org/sdl_port_for_android_sdk-ndk_16-t9218.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
