*** For libraries
SDL_image can be used to load images (png...) it is stable
efficient and portable (can be considered as a part of SDL)
About the others libraries listed on the wiki : SDL_gfx, SDL_sge,
Kira, ParaGUI
The choice is very important, using such libraries can be usefull
but can lead to problems with
- portability
- API stability
- code homogeneity
And depending on too many libraries increase risk
So I think that it could be good to list the requirements for wormux
( animation, rotation, zoom ? I don't know them) then make a review
of the relevant libraries then choose one or none.
I totally agree with you. These libraries are also listed on
http://www.libsdl.org/libraries.php where you can watch on which
platforms the library runs.
Ok, I will write a comparative of theese libraries on the wiki tomorrow.
It seems not written yet :-( Did you have begin your comparison ??
