Re: SFML vs SDL
I've only touched on SDL and never tried SFML, but glancing over they seem to be pretty equal. Can't say what is 'better' but if you google both, you'll notice SDL is more popular, so SDL might be easier to use on the fact that there is much more users, which means more tutorials and help.

Re: SFML vs SDL
This has already been debated many times on these forums.
For Example:
http://elysianshadows.com/phpBB3/viewto ... hilit=sfml
That should answer most if not all of your questions.

Re: SFML vs SDL
Right. I'm gonna go ahead and lock this since it's been covered and we don't need another discussion on it; feel free to post in the other thread(s).
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
