"hello world" for SDL2 for various programming languages.

Each sample creates a window, displays an image, then waits two seconds and quits.

All executables should ideally build and run on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD* and more, but they should at least work on Linux. Most subdirectories containsREADME.md files with more details, and aMakefile to have one way of building each sample.

For newer versions of macOS, the programs also appear to need an event loop for the window to show up, so I'm in the process of adding that to each example. The window just isn't shown if there is no event loop.

• The SDL 2 library.
• See the README.md file per sample for more information.

• C compiler that supports C89 (ANSI C), C99 or C11, for the C samples
• A C++ compiler for the C++ sample
• GCC 4.8 or later (or clang++) for the C++11 sample
• Go 1.1 or later and the sdl2 go package (go get github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl)
• MRuby with SDL2 added to the configuration file
• Nim 0.9.4 and sdl2 installed with babel
• Python 2 or 3 and PySDL2
• FPC 2.6.4 (or later than 2.4.0, must have Uint8, Uint16 and Uint32)
• Lua (tested with Lua 5.3) and lua-sdl2
• Iftcc is used for compiling one of the C examples, make sure to add-DSDL_DISABLE_IMMINTRIN_H=1.

• Ada (but there is anada branch if you wish to give it a spin. Please create a PR if it works on Arch Linux and/or the Linux CI test passes!).
• C3 (but there is ac3 branch with "Hello World" in C3).
• Fortran
• Scheme
