This package contains a couple of the demos for the Simple DirectMedia Library converted to Smalltalk. See the class side examples method protocol for invoking the examples.

What is SDL? From the website at: http://www.libsdl.org/

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library
designed to provide fast access to the graphics framebuffer and audio
device. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many
popular games, including the award winning Linux port of
"Civilization: Call To Power." Simple DirectMedia Layer supports
Linux, Win32, BeOS, MacOS, Solaris, IRIX, and FreeBSD.

This package requires SDL Core package in order to function and requires you to have the SDL shared library installed. You can download the shared libraries from the http://www.lbsdl.org.

This package makes use of the FileRepository for files required for the demos.
