For my new project, I'm using SDL, and I don't know if you are familiar with it. It's basically a cross-platform games development kit, providing powerful graphics features (especially 2d) with a simple interface. It's written by professional game programmers (I don't have a list). I haven't been using it that long, but so far its really good. I believe that it is often used to port games to Linux, but its uses go far beyond that.
What do you guys think of it, if you've tried it? It's definately a great way to throw together a 2d game (like LuckyC is doing), with much cleaner code and no DirectX bullshit.
