# Simple DirectMedia Layer
https://www.libsdl.org/
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games
including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
SDL officially supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.
SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings
available for several other languages, including C# and Python.
This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found
in the file "LICENSE.txt".
Information on building SDL with CMake is available in [README-cmake.md](README-cmake.md)
The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
Information on reporting bugs and contributing is available in [README-contributing.md](README-contributing.md)
