Description

ESDL is a wrapper for SDL, the Simple DirectMedia Layer library (http://www.libsdl.org) that is very popular among Linux game developers. SDL is a multimedia library composed of various subsystems for graphics, sound, networking, threading etc. The aim of this project is to provide the Eiffel community with a wrapper of SDL that has an easy to understand and an easy to remember API.

ESDL is being developed subsystem by subsystem. With release 0.3.0 the project permits the development of jump and run games without sound.

ESDL is built with the Eiffel Wrapper Genreator by Andreas Leitner and runs currently on ISE Eiffel.
