I have a few commercial Linux games based on SDL. They all use hardware acceleration - thus OpenGL under Linux. Performance is absolutely great. Also go to YouTube and do a few SDL searches. There are lots and lots of SDL+OpenGL backend examples that show perfectly smooth graphics. That SFML developer simply rigged the "benchmark tests" to promote the SFML library - that's quite normal behaviour. SDL has been a round for ages, has a strong developer following, and has lots of commercial interests. SDL is even dead simple to use from Object Pascal - I use it for cross-platform sound playback in some of our apps. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
