Probably not what you want to hear... but you could easily write your own! The SDL_gfx library has some good real time scaling functions.

Actually I do quite like SDL. I started writing a GridWars/Geometry Wars clone for the GP2X in C++/SDL and SDL was the only thing about the programming experience which didn't suck! I only gave up on it because the AI was too difficult for me to get my head around and then I started my degree ;-)

So yes, I do like SDL. It's just a shame about all the C malarkey :-P


Game AI is a headf**k... I have found it much easier though, if you run it in a separate thread... then you can just treat it as a program in its own right, and give it the same access to the game engine as the human gets.

Probably a problem with your detection algorithm...
