I haven't used SDL for graphics yet, only sound. But what you said would kind-of defeat the point of SDL. I thought SDL is a higher level API that can talk to s/w renderer, DirectX or OpenGL. I wouldn't expect you to hard-code OpenGL API when coding with SDL, otherwise what is the point of SDL then. Anyway, I also found the following Free Pascal + SDL website with lots of information and detailed chapters on using Free Pascal with SDL. I guess if there is any doubt as to what SDL does, maybe ask some questions in the Pascal Game Development website. http://www.freepascal-meets-sdl.net/ http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/ As for the earlier comment about SDL not supporting many image formats and image rotation etc. Apparently the SDL-GFX add-on includes all that. -- 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.
