Re: Implementing new backends?

Hey,

I've read that there's been some work documenting mcclim's internals, i was wondering how hard can it be to implement a new backend?

Like implementing a sdl2 backend, for instance (I've been fantasizing of making a xconq like clone using only sbcl + sdl2)

some preliminary work has been done to make implementing a new backends easier (we have removed some incorrect assumption from the code). That said, we didn't start the documentation for implementing a new backends. Implementing sdl2 backend would require some work on figuring things out from the source code.

I think it is doable by one person, but not easy (I don't have much experience with backends yet, so this opinion may be misleading).

Best ragards, Daniel
