SuaSDL
The main idea for this project is to experiment with SDL from Swift, but mostly as a way to come up with alternative GUIs. The focus of this project is not on games per se.
SDL is a top graphics library that works on many different platforms and does a good job of providing the basics for windows, events, OpenGL and much more. Given the diversity of platforms and the near-monopoly of browser-based UIs, the SDL is one of the only ways to work around them. The SDL is more multi-purpose, whereas other libraries may have more specific purposes instead, like the Skia one.
As a way not to slow down development, rather than to depend on Sua as an external, static library, we have added the Sua files directly to the Sources directory. In effect "inlining" them.
The current snapshot from Sua is this one:
commit df0d1bc2bffa29e07de12b724be46739990744ec

There is also a dependency on the CSDL module sister project.
Even when you got the CSDL module installed, you may also need to set the following environment variable so that the SDL library can be loaded:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
