    Let's assume I'm developing a game, with a main menu graphical window, and more graphical windows. So, SDL should be awesome for my needs (simple 2D pictures & animations). But I also need a login-form, registration-form, help-form, windows-form-like windows. Can I make the forms with SDL ?

      Specification Design Language?:confused:

        Not as far as I know. Okay, you can still do the complete code for the UI yourself but it is probably not what you are looking for. Anyway, there is a better alternative for SDL: SFML[^]. It is quite recent (one or two years) and is a good replacement for the SDL (which offers an object-oriented architecture, instead of a C interface). It can also be integrated with MFC, so that's probably what you are looking for. Furthermore, the performances are much better than the SDL (I can tell you from experience that SDL is quite slow).
