SDL is lower level than Qt, so there's a bit more work involved for getting the graphics to the screen. Since you're already familiar with Qt, then I suppose sticking with it might be preferable. You can still use SDL for audio; I do so myself for Qt apps that need sound (Phonon is not good enough for many purposes.) _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
