Hey, SDL_gpu dev here! :) There's actually a lot that is special about SDL_gpu, but most pertinent are: * Higher performance (it automatically collects and submits batches instead of separate draw commands for each sprite and redundant state changes) * Shader API * Arbitrary geometry rendering (triangles) * Can be integrated with explicit OpenGL calls * Full blend state control (not just "ADD", "SUB", "MULT") * Built-in primitive shapes (points, lines, tris, rects, ellipses, polygons, even arcs) * Uses a style familiar to SDL 1.2 users that I wish SDL_Renderer had gone with... * Came out before SDL 2.0 and is compatible with SDL 1.2 and 2.0 * Loads BMP, TGA, and PNG files * Rotates and scales about the center of images, making reasoning about the resulting corner coordinates more obvious (adjustable via anchor settings) Hope that helps!
