SFML 2 Vs SDL 1.3/2.0 Vs Allegro 5

Since I started using github I have pointing a bunch of people to my repos when they ask for advice on a problem I have gone through in one of my projects. I wonder if anyone got some help from my code. I never got follow up questions, don't know if that's good or bad.

On github you can post questions to commits (or even to single lines of the source in a specific revision). I find that quite nice :) Although I never had an actual use for it.

Great, another communication channel for me to ignore :-X

Well, sourceforge doesn't have that, and I think that's where our official git would live.

Speaking of SourceForge, what percentages of new projects there do you guys think use Allegro vs. SDL vs. SFML? For total, I suppose Allegro has the advantage of having been around longer, and SDL would have the same advantage over SFML. So the question is about new projects.

Well, I'm sad to say that I think SDL would have the biggest majority for the SF projects.

Does SFML really not work on AMD?

I suppose SDL would also be the largest, I mean it was made for commercial game porting from windows to linux after all (loki games)

No clue. I tried using it once and had a headache by the time I was done. Though you could bypass most of the headaches and do:

using namespace std;
using namespace sfml;

Otherwise you get to have fun making sure you remember std:: and sfml:: in front of the proper functions all the time.

Don't know why the code tags aren't working.

Because it's </code>, not <\code>

Not entirely sure how I managed that. Of course I keep flipping Cplusplus.com code tags and A.cc code tags around so that may be how I got it. cplusplus.com use [code][/code] while A.cc is < code></ code>. Didn't even notice I hit \ instead of / though. That is going to bug me for the rest of the day, wondering how I did that since both keys are nowhere near each other ???.

According to some forums 1.6 doesn't work properly with AMD cards.
However, 2.0 should support AMD properly.
