I'm very happy to announce that SDLU, the SDL Utility Library, is officially on
release candidate status. (RC1 is out!) SDLU is written on top of the SDL2 core library and implements higher-level features like simple yet powerful button functionality, extensible and fully customizable sprite support, functions to cap the framerate of a program, collision detection, custom polygon rendering, fast text rendering functions and much more. SDLU is built with simplicity, speed and extensibility in mind. When working with things like sprites, not everyone does things the same way. That's why, where possible, SDLU allows you to customize how things work in a completely user-defined fashion, without adding unneeded complexity. Its purpose is to make things easier, not harder. You can grab a copy of SDLU 1.0 RC1 from its repository at bitbucket.org[1], or from our website download page[2]. All feedback (good or bad) will be gladly accepted, especially bad, because it will help eliminating issues before a stable v1.0.0 release. Please test the library and give feedback; if you find any bugs, please post them at the issue tracker[3]. Patches and feature-requests are welcome. For any queries, thoughts, suggestions, feature and/or bug requests, feel free to contact me at "neoaggelos AT gmail DOT com" Thank you, Aggelos Kolaitis Website: http://sdlu.bitbucket.org/ [1]: http://bitbucket.org/sdlu/sdlu/downloads#tag-downloads [2]: http://sdlu.bitbucket.org/download.html [3]: http://bitbucket.org/sdlu/sdlu/issues |
