Re: finally ask for lua and sdl question

["Francisco Sant'anna" <francisco.santanna@...>]

I would love to see a raw and simple graphics API for Lua.
Support for layers, fonts, alpha and event handling, that's it.
No need for animations, gui widgets, etc.

Cairo is great, but support for keyboard and mouse would be needed as well.
Also, its Lua binding misses X11 support.

I liked the Scrupp simple API (but no support for layers).
