Re: [q-lang-users] [qlist] SDL anyone?

[Andrew B. <and...@ya...>]

That sounds like fun.  Probably a good warm-up exercise for a wrapper  
that I'm actually a bit more interested in, with the GOODS database.   
(see: http://www.ispras.ru/~knizhnik/goods.html)  I suspect that  
doing a decent integration with an OO database would be a bit more  
difficult than SDL, so I should start out easy.

Drat, the sdl site seems to be down.  Or else my network here is  
messed up.

Anyhow, where is the best place to look for examples?  I guess I  
should start by getting q-opengl to work, then look at how that  
works, eh?
