Upgrade to SDL3

[lukewilson2002]

SDL3 released on Jan 21. Are there any plans to upgrade this project, and how would that be done with the current name? Would there be a new repository go-sdl3?

Hi @lukewilson2002, thank you for asking! There's no plan yet to update the project to SDL3 due to limited resources 💦 but I'm considering setting up dedicated directory if we do plan on implementing it and perhaps eventually restructuring and renaming the project to go-sdl.

Hey @veeableful ,
what do you think about making making the new SDL3 binding cgo-free?

I created a PoC if someone is interested:
https://github.com/JupiterRider/purego-sdl3

flibitijibibo uses c2ffi to create a json of the SDL3 API: https://github.com/flibitijibibo/SDL3-CS/blob/main/GenerateBindings/assets/ffi.json

With the help of that json and the go source code generator jennifer https://github.com/dave/jennifer, it should be possible to auto-generate the bindings (or at least a nasty part).
