support for sfml backend?

[IbrahimOuhamou]

you can use this wrapper or just the c namespace

Interesting! Some quick looking it seems like we'd want to use the CSFML wrapper I think? Do you know of any zig projects that are using sfml via the zig package manager?

I am currently making quran-warsh (we gotta prepare for the afterlife, I like talking about religion if you want ) which is still in alpha

[david-vanderson]

That helps. I'm able to run quran-warsh on Linux Mint after doing apt install libcsfml-dev, so I think the first step would be to try and get something working assuming those libraries are already installed. I guess targeting sfml 2.5 or 2.6 is good for now?

to have working backend then upgrade might be better than not having one at All.

if we get a working backend then the pull requests should be 'updated to 2.x' or 'changed the commit hash to use the latest version of sfml' intead of having to make the whole backend
