Next modules
« on: June 03, 2013, 10:31:40 pm »
I thnik that if you add a nice filesystem (creating and exploring files and directories) and a utility for loading plugins at run-time SFML will be almost complete.

Keep up very good work with SFML 2.0 I'm enjoinyin it very much

These topics have already been discussed before. They are out of the scope of SFML and will never be implemented.

Filesystems:
Boost/C++ http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm more 'conventional' and mundane
PhysFS/C http://icculus.org/physfs/ for games and stuff like that mainly, inspired by id tech filesystems(I suggest using that unless you can find something easier, better and also zlib or MIT license)

POCO C++ Libraries, and there are certainly more. Just search.

Boost is quasi-standard, Boost.Filesystem is also likely to be integrated into a future C++ standard library version. Also, it's probably the most often used portable filesystem library.
