[SDLmm-general] SDLmm, Paragui - some thoughts

[David H. <da...@he...>]

Ok, after starting the SDLmm project, I started using ParaGUI for a
couple of apps (latest being a puzzle game). Well, what I've noticed
so far is that with ParaGUI I don't feel a need for SDLmm in most
cases. So that made me start thinking - perhaps it's better to build
more low-level SDL stuff into ParaGUI (kind of a merge of the good
features from SDLmm). Examples could be object oriented surfaces
(which really is what SDLmm is about right now). Using
SDL_BlitSurface, SDL_Fill etc feels primitive compared to using the
architecture in SDLmm. On the other hand, those features aren't really
enough to warrant the use of SDLmm _with_ ParaGUI.

Adam, you are on the ParaGUI list too it seems. What do you think? I'm
a ParaGUI developer as well and I notice myself both using and
programming ParaGUI more than SDLmm. It's simply easier for A LOT of
things (and harder for some, lower-level stuff).

Comments?
