Porting to SDL2

[Ivo Kosir]

Hi,

I got interested in this library as I was looking for a simple 2d engine for my project to learn haskell.
Than I noticed that this engine is using pango and cairo.
Why is this project not simply using sdl2 + sdl2-image + sdl2-ttf?
Is it because it may support .svg and some other advanced rendering in future, or just because it was easier to do that way?

Hi Ivo,

I believe it was because it was easier, yes (though I was not involved then). There are plans to an OpenGL drawing mode as well.

Cairo is a nice drawing library though and I have plans to make a Gtk back-end which uses the existing drawing code.

Ciao,

Kaspar

Correct, it was easier and it's a vector graphics library where as sdl2-image is not.
