Ask Sam Lantinga About SDL On PS2 And More
Sam Lantinga is the author and project lead of the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), which was recently ported amid general acclaim to the Sony PS2. People have been curious about SDL for a long time (it's been around for a while, and used in quite a few games). He's not just a library programmer though; he also designs games (in this case, working with Lauren MacDonell) and thinks hard and lucidly about the intricacies of information display within them. Here's your chance to ask Sam directly what's on your mind about SDL, game design and more. Note -- many questions are answered within the links already given, so hit those first. One question per post, please (but as many posts as you'd like) -- we'll forward the highest-rated questions on to Sam, and post his answers soon after.
Additionally, your middle name wouldn't happen to start with a "D", would it? (Sam D. Lantinga)
It could be worse. He could be all new-agey and hyphenate his last name with his significant other's. Maybe he marries someone named O'Conner and his name becomes O'Conner-Lantinga. Sounds kinda dirty, doesn't it?
