Re: [Plib-users] Glut or SDL

[Brad C. <bco...@ac...>]

I would think that you could use both.  Use SDL for your
multimedia/controls/2D layer and use ssg for your 3D OpenGL
scenegraph within the 3D layer of SDL.

I didn't see any mention of a scene graph implementation within
SDL (although I just quickly glanced at the web site), and it's
a lot nicer to develop a large 3D program using a scene graph.

Hope this helps,

B-
