Crowdfunding: SDL2 or even SDL3 for AmigaOS/68K & WarpOS (update)
At the title link, Kymon 'z!Erec' Zonias is soliciting donations for a port of the SDL2 (Simple DirectMedia Layer) multimedia library for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS - the minimum goal for this has already been almost reached at the time of publication of this news item. If funding exceeds that amount, extras such as SDL3 and additional libraries (SDL2_mixer, SDL2_image, SDL2_net, MiniGL integration) may also be possible. Steffen 'MagicSN' Häuser has agreed to carry out the work.
The reason for this is that many open source games now require SDL2 - however, only SDL 1.2 is currently available for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS. If crowdfunding is successful, the developer also wants to look into porting Stratagus immediately afterwards.
Update (October 21, 2025, 8:42 p.m., nba):
The crowdfunding goal has already been reached, and the development of SDL2 for AmigaOS 3.x is now financially secure. According to organizer Kymon Zonias, porting has already begun. The goal has been increased to 1200 Euro and currently stands at 1600 Euro. For every additional 100 Euro raised, an additional SDL2 library will be added: mixer, gfx, sound, image. (snx)
