Hello everybody!
first of all, sorry about my poor english.
Good, SDL is a 2D-only API. If you want 3D you have another very good API:
openGL.
I think, when you say "2D API evolution" you are thinking in a 2D+"semi 3D"
SDL API, ¿is this?. If is this, I think may be a error. You can use openGL
(3D API) with SDL (2D API) and in the web exist some documentation about
this.
You talk about the new platforms (Consoles and handheld devices, you say), I
think this may be a good idea, but SDL for 2D.
Can be a good idea use the power of openGL for expand the features of SDL, I
dont know.
In all of cases, I think the best is SDL for 2D and, maybe, some extensions
for use openGL.
Is only my idea, I am very new in SDL, just some months :)
