Hi! I'm not sure, but maybe something like OpenVG would be useful? http://www.khronos.org/openvg/
Once you have a OpenVG implementation for SDL/PyGame you have a complete and free API to do vector graphics for games, UI's and what not with (potentially) hardware acceleration specifically for vector graphics. Just FYI. :) /Peter On 2009-05-05 (Tue) 18:47, Daniel Jo wrote: > I don't have very much time during the week, but I'll try to get it working > in Windows (XP) this weekend.
