Title: Crediting SFML
Post by: santiaboy on September 13, 2013, 05:23:53 am

Hey guys, I'm trying to get my game on Ubuntu Software Center, and I wanted to know how's the correct way to credit SFML. I read that it's not necessary, but I want to do it.

Also, should I list it as an engine? (It appears on Desura, SFML an engine)

CHeers!

There's no correct way to credit SFML, do whatever you want ;)

SFML is not an engine, keep "multimedia library" if you can.

Many games now add whatever engine they're using etc. to the opening copyright information etc. so you could do something like "Made using SFML" to just give acknowledgement to the people who made the library. It seems to be entirely up to the game developers how much they reveal though, I often see mention of various languages etc. in the about sections of their websites too.
