I want to create a 2d side scroller game, which would be more applicable, SDL or Allegro? What will hardware access do for good? What are the advantages of having access to the hardware? If I do make a 2d sidescroller should I put the whole level in an array or call it up in another buffer then add and subtract to the main buffer? I would like to implament sound, music, loading sprite graphics etc. Where can I find some good tutorials on SDL or Allegro? Thanx for all your efforts and time.

Try www.loomsoft.net for allegro tutorials. Not sure about SDL. Doesn't really matter which one(Alleg or SDL) you choose.
