SDL Console Documentation

Introduction

SDL_Console is a console that can be added to any SDL application. It is similar to Quake and other games consoles. A console is meant to be a very simple way of interacting with a program and executing commands. You can also have more than one console at a time.

Documentation

For a detailed description of all functions see SDL_console::h. Remark that functions that have the mark "Internal" are only used internally. There's not much use of calling these functions.
