I’ve been having a look at the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) and it seems quite interesting. You can find out more about it at:
To quote from the website:
SFML is a portable and easy to use multimedia API written in C++. You can see it
as a modern, object-oriented alternative to SDL.SFML is composed of several
packages to perfectly suit your needs. You can use SFML as a minimal windowing
system to interface with OpenGL, or as a fully-featured multimedia library for
building games or interactive programs.
I’ll keep my eye on this one as it looks very promising and has some nice built in features. I’ve been looking for something that offers a balance between the low level of SDL and the higher level of say Allegro and SFML looks about the right balance for me.
