Feature Request: Replace SDL_Image with a lighter alternative. #3

Closed indigodarkwolf closed 3 years ago

SDL_Image brings in a lot of DLL dependencies, and an additional package dependency on Linux. It's only being used to load a PNG file at the moment; there must be a lighter-weight alternative. Maybe even just libpng itself.
