Package: Sprite32
System name: sprite32
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This project is intended to be a portable, compact, object-oriented library 
written in C++ for sprite-based games and 2D interactive graphics. The eventual 
goal is to provide a thin object-oriented abstraction layer over the underlying 
window system or framebuffer hardware driver, so that software using the 
library will be source-compatible across free operating systems like GNU/Linux 
running free window systems like XFree86; proprietary operating systems with 
their own GUIs like Microsoft Windows; or systems without an underlying window 
system, like PDAs and hand-held game devices.



The library is quite small, and does only one thing (support for things like 3D 
graphics and sound is not included); as a result, it is uniquely suited to 
areas where space is at a premium, like the abovementioned handheld devices. 
Some rather sophisticated games and other diversions can be written in a very 
small amount of code.



It's a little labor of love of mine that I've been working on in stops and 
starts, and have very recently committed to starting again.



Source code is available at the following URL:

Other Software Required:
