    SDL game programming books

    I haven't been able to find any SDL game programming books (although I didn't look too closely); does anyone know of any offhand?

    The documentation is probably your best source.

    Lazyfoo Productions is a decent tutorial for SDL. It's not a book, though.

    Okay, thanks.

    Lazyfoo Productions is a decent tutorial for SDL.
    Yes, there are lots of tutorials on the SDL homepage: http://www.libsdl.org/tutorials.php

    I have another question: what library is the most popular for supplementing the SDL? (Providing line functions, circle functions, and possibly image processing functions.) I use SDL_image and SDL_gfx. I've heard of SGE, but apparently it doesn't work on Macs and it's written in C++ (I like to use C, and overloaded functions in C don't work too well . . .).
