[edit] Versions

The number of different versions is very confusing. For Windows, there are SDL, FLTK, and plain versions. What are these? -69.87.202.139 01:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll have to do some digging to get specifics, but those refer to different GUI tools used for the interface. For example, Linux contains an "ascii" version, which uses colored ASCII characters as low-res "pixels"; there's the SVGA version, which uses the low level SVGA drivers for non-X graphics under Linux; there's the framebuffer version, which, if it's anything like the AIX virtual fram buffer, is an off-screen graphics context (I use it at work for rendering X fonts which are then saved as a raster image); and there's the SDL version for Linux, which I'm guessing (since there's a Windows SDL version) is a platform independent GUI toolkit. I'll see what specifics I can find out and put them in the article. scot 14:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if the changes don't answer all your questions. scot 15:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
