# R Tech 1
A set of C++ wrappers around existing graphical, music and other misc. libraries.
The library historically used to wrap allegro4, SDL 1.2 and subsequently [Allegro5](https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5). This allowed for using SDL to build [Paintown](https://www.github.com/kazzmir/paintown) on platforms such as the Wii.
Since separating R Tech 1 from [Paintown](https://www.github.com/kazzmir/paintown) it now only depends on [Allegro5](https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5) as its backend.
*In the future SDL 2 or other libraries may be supported.*
