SDLucid Description

SDLucid is a C++ wrapper library for the Simple Direct Media Layer by Sam Latinga. SDLucid is a C++ wrapper library for the Simple Direct Media Layer by Sam Latinga. SDLucid aims to not only be a wrapper, but also to offer a cleaner interface than the original SDL as well as more functionality. Want to see it in action? Here is a screenshot of the example contained in the distribution, nicely showing off the transforms code. SDLucid provides all of the following features that are not provided in SDL:- a nice interface- fast graphics primitives (polygons, circles...) with arbitrary fill modes - affine transformations on surfaces (i.e. stretching, rotation...) - bitmap fonts - mp3, mod, wav playing with arbitrary mixing and samplerate conversion. When designing SDLucid, I tried to follow these guidelines: - make a new and clean interface to SDL that stays as close as possible to SDL terminology, but no closer. - implement mighty functionality that's easy to use (some of this functionality duplicates what is available as SDL_mixer,SDL_image,SDL_ttf etc) - use naming conventions that loosely resemble those of the STL, so SDLucid doesn't introduce another naming scheme into a client program - stick to one mighty image format: PNG - use exceptions for error reporting It mixes well with STL code. Installation and use is drop-dead easy because of supplied autoconf macros and an sdlucid-config shell script. SDLucid currently depends on - a good c++ compiler (gcc 2.95 will do) - SDL, obviously. :) - ixlib, a C++ tool library.
