Other Input Libs...
« on: November 14, 2005, 02:48:14 PM »
To write the best possible input lib, it is good to compare, and compete with other Input LIbs.

OpenInput

Pros:
:arrow: Cross language supprot because C interface

Cons:
:arrow: Written in c
:arrow: Takes control of things other then Input
:arrow: LGPL - Not a flexible license

How OIS compares:

Cons:
:arrow: Written in C++, so other language use is made more difficult.. Though, things like Swig can help bridge the gap... Though, this lib is small enough in scope that a C wrapper could be written by hand in little to no time at all.

Pros:
:arrow: Written in C++, fits in better with OO code.
:arrow: I have a proven track record of cool libs :)
:arrow: Most flexible license out there (with the exception of public domain).
