Hi
Maybe it's just my inflexibility but I have somewhere in the back of my head
(from reading various chats on indiegamer) that SDL is more low level, that
it doesn't support HW-accelerated scaling and rotating (at least by default)
and that it's GPL (Which is not a problem if you use it as dll (I think they
talked something like that)) .. I know for some developers who make
excellent games with SDL and some with Allegro, but I started with PTK back
then so I also already know it well.
At least for now my goal is more to make an engine that does all generalized
stuff in c/c++ so nekovm scripts just define the game specific code in
neko...
best regards,
Janko
