    I think most game programmers on Linux use SDL:

    I've been a long time (year?) lover of Cube, and that uses SDL. As does the GL port of DoomLegacy.

    If you're just getting started I would suggest looking at pygame (which also builds on SDL).

    Indeed, SDL is the go, or, if you're really hard-core, OpenGL.



    You probably also want to look at Open AL for your audio stüf.
