Sorry, I should have stuck that in the original post. SDL stands for Simple Directmedia Layer. It allows portable access to the screen, and sound, input, and threading stuff as well. It's what loki used to port CivCTP to Linux. You can find SDL here. Hope that helps some. It seems to be a fairly nice package for developing games under Linux. I'm using it right now to code a cheesy tetris clone, just something to familiarize myself with it. I particularly like the idea of using a cross-compiler in Linux to compile games for windows from the same source code. It's supposed to be do-able, but I haven't tried it yet.

Looking at the screen shots and stuff, it seems worth a peek... hell I might even use it instead of writing my own version... (moi? lazy? whatever gave you that idea )

I've started making some small games with SDL in Linux, some to brush up on my C skills, some to increase my skills at making game-type programs. Is anyone else currently using it? Just curious as to what your thoughts were on it, and especially thoughts on how best to write good code using it.
