Simple DirectMedia Layer

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is an open-source software library that provides developers with a standardized way to handle graphics, sound, and input devices across various operating systems. Think of it as a toolkit that allows programmers to create multimedia applications and games that run smoothly on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms without needing to modify code for each one. SDL simplifies complex hardware interactions, enabling developers to focus on their application's creativity and functionality. It's widely used in game development and multimedia projects for its efficiency and cross-platform capabilities.
