Sure, the C API works great with C++ out of the box, but there are some

A quick google fails to locate any C++ bindings / wrappers of the C API; so
I wonder if anybody is interested in it.

The benefits of C++:
- RAII <3
- Easier to use API for renderers
- Anything you want to add?
- Better error handling

The idea is to make a thin but elegant wrapper that could be (at least
mostly) optimized out by the compiler. This would make programming with SDL
a lot more fun.

If there's sufficient interest, then I think I'll work on that.

Hi,

The binding looks great, however I saw that you used raw pointer of
SDL_Window in the Window class. You disable the copy constructor. I
would rather use a std::unique_ptr<> with the custom deleter for that
purpose or better a std::shared_ptr so that Window can be safely copied
and destroyed when required.

Regards,
David.
