Thread: C++ game library

Does anybody know of a good C++ game library? The use of classes is a definite must. Portabilty would also be nice.

SDL seems to be quite popular, some excellent and famous tutorials here

I also found this recently,

but I just made a thread about that in the game forum ^_^

I'm pretty aware of all the popular c-based game libraries. I was really looking for one that use classes, but thanks for the reply.

Would it be best if I just used OpenGL 3.0 when it comes out? Do you think it would be harder to use because it is written in C? Does directx use classes?

Harder than what? Previous versions of OpenGL? Previous versions of OpenGL had C bindings too, as well as bindings for quite a few other languages. So no, I don't think it would be harder.

I'm pretty sure uses classes and OOP. C++ based too.

I hear that Allegro is pretty decent. With, of course, the added bonus of being beginner friendly.
