Oolite Bulletins

hi

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.

Actually the Mac version does not use SDL, only the Linux and Windows ports do. But yes, SDL is an OK library to play with, from what I have seen.

Whoops, there's my zippity zilch knowledge showing itself
