SDL3 for classic MacOS started, probably never to be finished
Posted by: lauland1 on 2025-04-24 07:13:09 Since I had such luck with SDL2 for MacOS 7/8/9 and many people asked about it, I decided I'd at least make a try at SDL3. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/sdl3-macos-9-rough-draft I'm probably not going to make much more effort on it, and instead concentrate on my SDL2 port, but figured I'd put it out there, in case anyone else wanted to work on it. There aren't a lot of games that need SDL3, and there's MANY for SDL2, but I wanted to show it MIGHT be possible. The library and a few test apps build, but there are no Mac drivers. If anyone's interested, feel free to work on it, there's a github, or you could just grab the whole thing, fork it, and work on your own.

At least this means that there's a starting point in 15 years when people are next trying to figure this out 😉 I wouldn't have thought there'd be much overlap between projects using SDL3 and stuff that would function < OS X, but it's nice to know that that's not necessarily a barrier.
