SGE r030809

SGE is a graphic library for the excellent Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library (mainly) written by Sam Lantinga.

So, why use SGE? Well, SDL is a low level API and if you don't want to spend time writing your own graphic functions (put pixel, line, circle...) you could use SGE instead.

Here are some key features of "SGE":

· Pixel operations
· Clipping
· Lines, circles and other figures (with antialiasing and alpha blending)
· Rotation and scaling of surfaces
· Palette functions
· TrueType/Bitmap/SFont font functions
· Basic 2D collision detection
· Sprite classes
· Basic texture mapping
· Filled and gourand shaded polygons (with antialiasing or alpha blending)

And if you don't like something or want to change/add a function, you can use SGE to build your own graphic library (or, you could send me a mail with the complaint/change/contribution)

Requirements:

· First you will need the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL).
· The TrueType functions uses the FreeType library (v2.x).
· SGE can use the SDL_Image library if installed.
