SFML — Simple and Fast Multimedia Library
SFML is a simple, fast, cross-platform and object-oriented multimedia API. It provides access to windowing, graphics, audio and network. It is written in C++, and has bindings for various languages such as C, .Net, Ruby, Python.
State of Development
SFML is currently in an interesting state of development, which can quickly become confusing if you aren't following it closely. As such we want to clarify where to get which version.
- The
masterbranch contains work in progress for the next major version SFML 3. As such it's considered unstable, but any testing and feedback is highly appreciated. - The
2.6.xbranch is the nearly complete next minor version SFML 2.6, which should be very stable, even if it hasn't been officially released yet. - The
2.5.1tag is the last official SFML release, but it lacks a lot of fixes and features that can already be found on the2.6.xbranch.
Download
- You can get the latest official release on SFML's website.
