Feature: Native wayland support

Post by dr4Ke »

Hi,
Do you plan to add native wayland support?
It is used by default on several distributions now, and even some phone/tablet OS does. On computers, there is often (always?) a X compatibility layer, but not on phones.

I only found one little thread on this matter, back in 2010: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =3&t=40441

I'd be in favour of relegating that poop to SDL2

this.
I prefer relegating all platform specific nonsense such as window management, input, and sound to SDL2 or somesuch abstraction layer.

Would be nice to have Wayland support, however I have more important tasks on my To-Do list and until august/september I will be off from active Irrlicht development.
