As I am already using the EFL for such type of project, I can share some information. But first, my case is a particular highly constrained case (small CPU with little graphic hardware acceleration for an HD output). > I do want to use edje for the graphics, with lua in the edje if it's > ready enough. The main development language is C though. More tester for lua in edje is a good thing. And don't hesitate to report any problem. > Probably most important is which type of display to use.

So, what else other than X, svgalib, and ncurses, that does > use EFL, and lets us use edje, do people suggest and why? DirectFB, SDL or custom evas engine directly binded to your driver. It really depend on your hardware, and with the help of ecore_evas it's almost transparent to the game developper. So depend more on your hardware than on the EFL -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
