Introduction

Esdl is an Erlang binding to SDL and includes a binding to OpenGL.

Esdl was created to be used in Wings3D but in other projects as well.

SDL (and esdl) mainly does image blitting and input for games, if you want a gui which handles windows and widgets checkout wxErlang

The current updated source code have moved to a git repository (currently) at http://github.com/dgud/esdl/tree/master

Download, build, and copy the contents to where you want it.

Esdl contains a 'gl.beam' which clashes with wxErlangs opengl variant. Run erlang with erl -pa /PATH/TO/esdl-1.0/ebin if you want to use OpenGL with esdl or if want you to use SDL 2D video or audio and combine with wx opengl use erl -pz /PATH/TO/esdl-1.0/ebin

NOTE: esdl do NOT work with a smp enabled erlang.
