Readme

This package contains bindings to the SDL 2 library, in both high- and low-level forms:

The SDL namespace contains high-level bindings, where enumerations are split into sum types, and we perform automatic error-checking.

The SDL.Raw namespace contains an almost 1-1 translation of the C API into Haskell FFI calls. As such, this does not contain sum types nor error checking. Thus this namespace is suitable for building your own abstraction over SDL, but is not recommended for day-to-day programming.

Read SDL for a getting started guide.
