Hi,
This could be very interesting for Squeak developing:

Description:
============
The Simple DirectMedia Layer library, or SDL for short, is one of the
few freely
available libraries available that is being used by commercial game
development
companies. It provides 2D framebuffer graphics and audio services in a
cross-platform manner,
supporting Linux, Win32, and BeOS. Other platforms, including Solaris,
IRIX, FreeBSD, and
MacOS also have varying degrees of support. SDL provides a simple API
that allows you to get
as close to the native hardware as possible, in addition to a large
range of other services,
including threads, endian independence macros, and CD audio. The
advantages of using SDL are
threefold: stability, simplicity, and flexibility.
