Bindings for SDL2 in Rust
Rust-SDL2 is a library for talking to the new SDL2.0 libraries from Rust. Low-level C components are wrapped in Rust code to make them more idiomatic and abstract away inappropriate manual memory management.
Rust-SDL2 uses the MIT license.
If you want a library compatible with earlier versions of SDL, please see https://github.com/brson/rust-sdl
These live outside of the repo.

We currently compile against the Master branch. I'd recommend using the Nightly installer, as that has the greatest chance of working.
Install these through your favourite package management tool, or via http://www.libsdl.org/
If you're running OSX, it's a good idea to install these via homebrew
brew install sdl2
If you're having issues, see here
Clone this repo and run cargo
cargo
To see an example of the code in use
cargo run demo
Some additional examples can be found in the rs-sdl2-examples repo.
Rust, and Rust-SDL2, are both still heavily in development, and you may run into teething issues when using this. Before panicking, check that you're using the latest version of both Rust and Cargo, check that you've updated Rust-SDL2 to the latest version, and run cargo clean. If that fails, please let us know on the issue tracker.
