>This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux,
|
|
Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces,
|
|
(for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to
|
|
your application. This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely
|
|
portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P

|
|
>The library is loaded as a dynamically linked library on its native
|
|
platform, and is currently compiled natively for Linux, compiled for
|
|
Win32 using a Linux hosted GCC
