ok, i admit it - this has nothing to do with oolite, but it has something to do with development. anyway, I'm thinking about a project that requires me to set the color of single pixels. no fancy image processing (like anti-aliasing) required. what is the best (fastest, easiest) way top do that? can someone point me in the right direction? thanks.
Oolite uses SDL (libsdl.org) to access the screen at a low level. I know zippity zilch about Macs but SDL is cross-platform, and I use it on a Windows PC for pixel-level manipulation. It's a bit fiddly to get started with but is fast, and very nice to use once you get used to it.
