This isn't SDL_gpu, that is part of SDL3. This is SDL_gp, an external lib which builds on the former.

How is this different from SDL_Render? https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/CategoryRender

The naming of the library is pretty confusing, considering SDL_gpu is an official part of SDL3.

naming of api functions too. They all prepended with "SDL_" as if this is SDL library, but it not.

I know you're being sarcastic but I think some people may find this interesting:

I made one based on this tutorial (about 50 lines), which is about 8x faster and cheaper for small tasks in my experience. I highly recommend the learning experience.
