One option for solving this would be to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL. This would mean writing/porting replacement code for the parts where SDL currently handles things (i.e. at least audio, video and input, and ideally other details too). Preferably, such a project would be to retain backwards compatibility with 10.2 as we have today, while also allowing for a good user experience on the very latest OS X versions. | One option for solving this would be to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL.

Examples are: Linux packages, Google Play, Apple App Store, Steam, ForgeTV store, and anything beyond that. | |||
