| |
| Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed |
| to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics |
| hardware. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games |
| including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games. |
| |
| SDL officially supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. |
| Support for other platforms may be found in the source code. |
| |
| SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings |
| available for several other languages, including C# and Python. |
| |
| This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found |
| in the file "LICENSE.txt". |
| |
| Information on building SDL with CMake is available in [README-cmake.md](README-cmake.md) |
| |
| The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in |
| the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. |
| The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. |
| |
| Information on reporting bugs and contributing is available in [README-contributing.md](README-contributing.md) |
| |
