I recently tried to add it and looks like it’s broken.

I checked the issues list, and I couldn’t quite decipher what was going on.

Thanks.

My read is development stopped on that over a year ago. It appears [https://github.com/JuliaMultimedia/CSFML.jl](https://github.com/JuliaMultimedia/CSFML.jl) took over the code base.

ok, sure enough that works.

I went back and looked through the issue threads. CFSML is a low level interface to the C version of the SFML library, it sounds like might be some effort (in the long term) to create a higher level interface.

thank you.
