SFML is a portable and easy to use multimedia API written in C++. You can
|
|
see it as a modern, object-oriented alternative to SDL. SFML is composed
|
|
of several packages to perfectly suit your needs. You can use SFML as a
|
|
minimal windowing system to interface with OpenGL, or as a fully-featured
|
|
multimedia library for building games or interactive programs.'
|
|
|
|
Main features:
|
|
* Portable
|
|
SFML compiles on standard platforms like Windows (98, 2000, XP, Vista)
|
|
and Unix systems (Linux, Mac OS X). As the library grows up, support
|
|
for more operating systems will be added.
|
|
* Object-oriented
|
|
SFML is written in C++ and provides an efficient, object-oriented
|
|
design. It relies on standard patterns and idioms to provide a simple
|
|
and robust framework.
|
|
* Easy to use
|
|
SFML aims at being easy to manipulate. Effort is put on internal code
|
|
to provide the simplest public interface.
|
|
* Flexible
|
|
Instead of being one big API, SFML rather contains a lot of small
|
|
packages, that can be chosen and combined according to the intended
|
|
usage. You can use only the base package to get input and windowing,
|
|
as well as the full graphics package with sprites and post-effects.
|
|
* Easily integrable
|
|
SFML can be used in one or more windows, and/or can be integrated in
|
|
existing interface components. Integration with existing graphical user
|
|
interface (GUI) libraries is easy, so that you can add SFML views into
|
|
complex interfaces built with Qt, wxWidgets, MFC or whatever.
|
|
|
|
SFML is available in the following languages:
|
|
* C++
|
|
* C
|
|
* .Net (C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, ...)
|
|
* Python
|
|
* D
|
|
* Ruby
|
|
|
|
This requires OpenAL and libsndfile.
