Whatever gets you off the ground. I do like the concept of SDL, just not the overall implementation.

By the sounds of it, SDL is not that useful if you're interested in 3D, correct?

I couldnt really say. AFAIK, SDL is usually used in conjunction with OpenGL for 3D.

I just wanted something similar for C++, using OOP paragdims in the design, so I've been working that way instead.

"You do not have Direct Access to the Video RAM"

I think that for 2D games that's a big limitation. You can double the speed writting directly to the gfx ram...

Thanks to everyone, You guys know your ####!
So just to clarify the stuff that has been posted.
SDL can be used in conjunction with OpenGL, but there is only the cut down miniGL version available for the Amiga? The GCC compiler is a tried and proven compiler for the Amiga? The SDL is good because it provides an API that interacts with all aspects of hardware: I/O, sound, and graphics, where as OpenGL provides the API for graphics programming?
Thanks again fellas, by the way is any of you guys currently developing a game/games for the Amiga at the mo?
