"Official" sdl2 package

Open zetashift opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

I talked a bit with dom86 about this and he's fine with this one becoming the first-stop for people looking for a sdl2 package. See: https://irclogs.nim-lang.org/29-03-2018.html#11:00:51 Didn't know how to contact you so here's a quick notification! If you really don't want this, this'll probably the moment too.

Thanks for a heads-up. I'm not against that idea as long as it won't compromise this project's integrity.

Btw, I'm often online at Nim's IRC channel as well.

well I think it should improve your personal integrity :P

I'd like to combine the two sdl implementations. (Whichever one has the better nim friendliness. Acording to me the one place all of @Vladar4 's packages I'm using are undisputed king is examples. But there are some places where I'd prefer nim procs instead of cdecl procs. I think the old sdl repo still has a few things we can use from it.

Is there any procedure I need to follow when taking code from another code base? I'm worried about license and such.

Well in general I think within the Nim community nobody really cares that much about licenses, people want the community to grow. So just take what you think is better and integrate it here. At the moment I don't know what the "official" SDL2 binding does better. Can you give an example?
