Free sdl software for linux

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."
Simple DirectMedia Layer supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS Classic, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. There is also code, but no official support, for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS.
SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby.
Enhancements:
- Dynamic X11 loading is only enabled with gcc 4 supporting -fvisibility=hidden. This fixes crashes related to symbol collisions, and allows building on Solaris and IRIX.
- Fixed building SDL with Xinerama disabled.
- Fixed DRI OpenGL library loading, using RTLD_GLOBAL in dlopen().
- Added pkgconfig configuration support.

NeoPop-SDL project is a NeoGeo Pocket emulator.

It supports black and white and color games, game state saving, screenshots (BMP and PNG), sound and music, double- and triple-size graphics scaling (both in software and hardware), full-screen mode, joystick and keyboard input, and the ability to read from ZIP files.

SDL::MPEG is a SDL perl extension.

SYNOPSIS

$info = new SDL::MPEG -from => $mpeg;

SDL::MPEG provides an interface to quering the status of a SMPEG stream.

METHODS

SDL::MPEG::has_audio returns true if it has audio track
SDL::MPEG::has_video returns true if it has a video track
SDL::MPEG::width returns the width of the video in pixels
SDL::MPEG::height returns the height of the video in pixels
SDL::MPEG::size returns the total size of the clip in bytes
SDL::MPEG::offset returns the offset into the clip in bytes
SDL::MPEG::frame returns the offset into the clip in fames
SDL::MPEG::fps returns the play rate in frames per second
SDL::MPEG::time returns the current play time in seconds
SDL::MPEG::length returns the total play time in seconds

Abuse-SDL project is a port of Abuse by Crack Dot Com to Linux using the Simple DirectMedia Layer library. This allows Abuse to run at screen depths greater than 8bpp as well as fullscreen.
Main features:
- Run at any screen depth from 8bpp to 32bpp.
- Run fullscreen or in a window.
- Software and OpenGL hardware accelerated scaling.
- Lock the mouse to the window.
- Mousewheel support for changing weapons.
- Stereo sound.

sdljava project is a Java binding for the SDL API.
It provides the ability to write games and other applications in Java.
It is designed to be fast, efficient and easy to use. Full support for access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 2D framebuffer, and 3D hardware is provided.
It also provides a native binding to OpenGL (via GLEW) and a binding to FTGL.
Main features:
- OpenGL Binding
- FTGL Binding
- Full SDL Binding
Enhancements:
- added jniclasscode pragmas to swig interface (.i) files which call System.loadLibrary for the appropriate lib
- added new methods to SDLMixer
- added new methods to SDLImage
- JDK 1.5 enumerations removed
- ALL JDK 1.5 dependencies removed
- OpenGL 1.1 Support added!!!

SDL Sopwith project is a port of the classic flying game Sopwith.
SDL Sopwith is a port of the classic flying game Sopwith to modern operating systems and toolkits.
It was originally a port to the LibSDL toolkit, but there is now a GTK+ version also.
Main features:
- Modern native application - will run under Windows, GNU/Linux, BeOS and probably most modern operating systems supported by LibSDL
- Working sound (emulated PC speaker through the sound card output)
- Working Multiplayer
- More configurable than the original (options from Sopwith 2/ The authors edition can be turned off)
- Vastly cleaned up and portable code
Enhancements:
- Fix some compilation errors due to an error in swinit.c
- Fix networking which got broken somewhere.

SDL Hana is a SDL-based hanafuda game.

SDLHana is a SDL-based Hanafuda game, a Japanese-oriented card game which is popular in Japan and Korea

SDLucid is a C++ wrapper library for the Simple Direct Media Layer by Sam Latinga. SDLucid aims to not only be a wrapper, but also to offer a cleaner interface than the original SDL as well as more functionality. Want to see it in action? Here is a screenshot of the example contained in the distribution, nicely showing off the transforms code. SDLucid provides all of the following features that are not provided in SDL:

- a nice interface
- fast graphics primitives (polygons, circles...) with arbitrary fill modes
- affine transformations on surfaces (i.e. stretching, rotation...)
- bitmap fonts
- mp3, mod, wav playing with arbitrary mixing and samplerate conversion.

When designing SDLucid, I tried to follow these guidelines:

- make a new and clean interface to SDL that stays as close as possible to SDL terminology, but no closer.
- implement mighty functionality thats easy to use (some of this functionality duplicates what is available as SDL_mixer,SDL_image,SDL_ttf etc)
- use naming conventions that loosely resemble those of the STL, so SDLucid doesnt introduce another naming scheme into a client program
- stick to one mighty image format: PNG
- use exceptions for error reporting

It mixes well with STL code. Installation and use is drop-dead easy because of supplied autoconf macros and an sdlucid-config shell script. SDLucid currently depends on

- a good c++ compiler (gcc 2.95 will do)
- SDL, obviously. :)
- ixlib, a C++ tool library.
