The Wesnoth project uses the SDL library, last year a new version (2.0) of
this library was released. This version of the library has better support
for mobile devices like the Android and the iPhone. This project involves
helping porting Wesnoth from SDL 1.2 to 2.0.

=Additional Information=

The transition from SDL [1] 1.2 to 2.0 is a large project and a lot of work
needs to be done:
* The event handling has changed, so the event and input handling in Wesnoth needs to be changed.
* With SDL 1.2 we're using surface based drawing [2], with the transition to 2.0 we want use accelerated drawing [3].

The SDL transition is too large for one GSoC project, during the application period
the student will discuss which part of the transition he or she wants to work on
during the summer.
