This project is a work in progress. The implementation is incomplete and subject to change. The documentation can be inaccurate.

Package win provides the core functionality required for window creation, drawing and event handling. The window events are defined in a dedicated package located at:

• github.com/mewmew/we

The library uses a small subset of the features provided by SDL version 2.0. Support for multiple windows has intentionally been left out to simplify the API.

Documentation provided by GoDoc.

• sdl
  • audio: provides support for audio playback.
  • font: handles text rendering based on the size, style and color of fonts.
    • fontutil: provides font utility functions for word wrapping.
  • win: handles window creation, drawing and events.
• we: specifies the types and constants commonly used for window events.
