Hello. I'm new to Nimrod, and loving it. It is exactly the language I was looking for to complement my learning of the j programming language. I am a program-by-need programmer, and hobbyist. I would like to make interactive applications for windows and mac, and I was considering SDL, but I see there is a GLFW port to Nimrod. I may wish to move on to Android apps with the NDK and nimrod. Which would be the better library? I realize GLFW is more minimalistic, and that I would need OpenAL for audio. Has SDL2 been ported? Thanks, and I am looking forward to learning and using Nimrod.

Hello, welcome to the Nimrod forums!
Personally I would use SDL, as far as I know GLFW is indeed too minimalistic. But I can't say I have a lot of experience with it. There is a wrapper for SDL2 here.
Thanks for link. I will stick with SDL to keep learning Nimrod down to the essentials, although GLFW is pretty clean in in its implementation. Does the SDL or GLFW dll need to be distributed with the final built executable in case somebody does not have it installed, or is it statically linked inside the executeable? I will perhaps open a different thread, but is there a way to use Nimrod with the Android NDK? I guess it might not be hard to bind to the NDK's C language.

Thanks for the link. I hope to get around to the Android dev in Nimrod stuff soon.
