SDL and SFML (c++)

Question

Before I ask the question I thank you for helping me out. Could you tell me what both libraries do and what they do specialy (in that topic of game development)? What are the pros of each library (as well in the topic of game development) ?

Again thank for helping me out I know this question is asking much more than te average question. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

SDL and SFML are both popular C++ multimedia libraries used in game development.

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is known for its simplicity and versatility in handling tasks such as graphics rendering, input handling, and audio playback & SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library), on the other hand, is focused on providing a higher-level interface compared to SDL. It offers modern features like hardware-accelerated graphics, window management, and networking support.
