Hi! I've been experimenting with SDL & Swift and it worked well
on Windows / Cygwin, should be easy to add Linux:

https://github.com/zmeyc/sdl-game-swift <https://github.com/zmeyc/sdl-game-swift>

I ended up splitting it into two repos (game repo + SDL2 repo),
to avoid manually specifying header search paths and import paths
after generating xcodeproj. Wasn't able to automate this when using
a single repo.

Regards,
Andrey
