Yes, I was referring to that library and more info could be found from the web: http://www.libsdl.org/. The problem with the boost timer that you mentioned is that it provides the time elapsed, but not the interface like provided by SDL lib. Particularly the kind of timer callback function that is available in SDL lib is not available in Boost lit.

I have been using both Boost lib and GameDev SDL lib in same projects. Both of the lib have very good platform independency. But they have some functionalities overlapping each other and I would like to use only one of them. The timer lib in GameDev SDL is very easy to use and I hope such lib or functionally similar one exists in Boost lib. I had a look at boost archive on previous discussion on implementing Boost timers and feel that there is still no good implementation of timer in Boost lib (correct me if I am wrong). Anybody in this email list had a look at GameDev timer and have considered implementing such a lib in Boost?

Are you referring to the Simple Direct Medialayer? http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson12/index.php What's wrong with/missing in boost::timer ? http://boost.org/libs/timer/index.html -- Tarjei _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
