SFML 2.0 vs SDL 1.3

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-21 0:01

Both are undergoing development
Both support hardware accelerated 2D out of the box
Both are licensed under the zlib license -- that's right, you are now free to statically link SDL to your programs

SFML is mostly supported by one developer, a much smaller team than the one behind SDL
SFML is only aimed at Windows/Linux/OSX for the moment, while SDL supports a much wider range of platforms
SFML 2.0 is pretty unstable at the moment, with the lead developer stating that he's prepared to completely break parts of the API prior to the 2.0 release
SDL 1.3 is probably pretty unstable as well
SFML has a much more friendly API than SDL, in my experience, although this is limited to usage of 1.2

Given my limited knowledge of SDL 1.3, I'm not sure which is the better library to side with. I originally jumped ship from SDL to SFML because of its friendlier API and hardware accelerated 2D graphics, but if SDL 1.3 is going to feature similar hardware acceleration along with a brisker, more reliable pace of development, my inclined to side with it. Can /prog/ convince me to pick a camp?

You're the one who said "countably infinite." I said "non-computable reals." I got an A+ in Calc 100 & 101, and without sucking any cocks like I know you had to. I then went on to take second and third year calculus courses and other courses on other subjects of mathematics, and have since graduated.

Infinitesimals merely encapsulate some interesting logical predicates in the form of consistent algebraic rules regarding asymptotic boundary conditions of recursive processes. If you've ever had to write code which computes transcendentals, derivatives or integrals in computers using numerical methods, you would know this.

Been there, done that. The point is, I don't think you have any clue as to what you're talking about when it comes to infinity. And again, I think you're fucking stupid.
