Completely agree with Eero. We shouldn't develop office application with SDL, because it does not match with the Meego SDK approach. However, if you plan to port games on a Meego platform, SDL is a must have ! Regards, sebastien

There are tons of games using SDL because of its portability and it being relatively easy to use. Games availability is an important factor in users' device buying decisions. Having a SDL version that automatically/efficiently scales (non-OpenGL) game screen to display size would be a nice feature. It could be a flag for SDL surface or SDL could e.g. offer a quarter resolution which is automatically scaled to full resolution. - Eero Of the open source games that use OpenGL, I think a large part still uses the old v1 API, not the current v2 API. Many of them do OpenGL also using SDL (on OSX, apparently to avoid the "less than optimal" way how non-OpenGL OSX SDL stuff does vsync...). _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
