s3e provides a core set of APIs that allow for cross platform development. IwGx is a renderer abstraction layer providing efficient access to the software renderer and Open GL. Iw2D is a simple 2D drawing API to hide some complexities of IwGx.

  • So they are related with each other too? If yes can you tell me how? I mean when can I use one over other? – 0xC0DED00D Apr 11 '12 at 14:44

    Iw2d is built on top of IwGx. IwGx is built on top of s3e. If you are doing a simple 2d application/game, use Iw2D. For 3D, go for IwGx. – leifcr Sep 05 '12 at 08:29
