| 28 | >This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, |
||
| 29 | Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, |
||
| 30 | (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to |
||
| 31 | your application. This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely |
||
| 32 | portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility. |
||
| 33 | > |
||
| 34 | >The library is loaded as a dynamically linked library on its native |
||
| 35 | platform, and is currently compiled natively for Linux, compiled for |
||
| 36 | Win32 using a Linux hosted GCC |
