The Simple DirectMedia Layer, or SDL, is a cross-platform multimedia library for the C language that is commonly used for making games. This is the library which powers Pygame, and most of the things contained in the Pygame screencasts may be easily applied to SDL, and other language bindings for SDL, as a consequence, since [...]
