SFML instead of SDL?

[luciderous]

Has anyone given a thought to any benefits a switch from SDL to SFML might bring in the long run? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be a possibility to avoid the dependency mishmash we have with SDL-based libraries, since SFML seems to support all the needed functionality (https://www.sfml-dev.org/features.php) in a one neat package. However, it's not a suggestion per se, since such a work would require a lot of effort on SupSuper's and Daiky's side, but a topic to discuss nevertheless.

A lot of alternate engines/libraries/etc have been discussed before, specially in the IRC chat. SFML, Allegro, raw OpenGL, etc. It's those kind of discussions that developers just love!

But for now we'll leave things as it is, this early on I'd rather spend what little time I have working on the game part of the game and not learning/trying every other library in town.

Wise decision. Gameplay and all algorighms are crucial at the moment, and probably later on. Switching to other graphics or sound or whatever engine won't be a problem when all game parts will be in place and working at 100%. But code should be written in a manner implying further changes.
