The Littlev Graphic Library is written mainly for microcontrollers and embedded systems however you can run the library on your PC as well without any embedded hardware. The code written on PC can be simply copied when your are using an embedded system.
Using a PC simulator instead of an embedded hardware has got several advantages:
- Costs $0 because you you don't have to buy design PCB
- Fast because you don't have to design an manufacture PCB
- Collaborative because any number of developers can work without hardware requirements
- Developer friendly because much easier and faster to debug on PC
- The PC simulator is cross platform so Windows, Linux and OSX is supported
- SDL a low level driver library to use graphics, handle mouse, keyboard etc.
- This project (configured for Eclipse CDT IDE)
