11Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
12to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
13hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
14emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
15and many Humble Bundle games.
16
17SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.
18Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.
19
20SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings
21available for several other languages, including C# and Python.
22
23This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found
24in the file "COPYING.txt".
25
26The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
27the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
28The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
