Re: Game loop with Gtk.

[learfox furry ao net]

If your looking to write a high performance game this really might not be
a good idea if you want to use GTK and SDL. Effectivly you would be using
a widget set and a wrapper and that would slow things down dramatically.

If your writing a game for the first time, then SDL or glut may be a good
set of training wheels to get you started.
