What OS ? What kind 2D or 3D game ?

If the later and you want to run on Windows and UNIX the way to go
is OpenGL. Close to Direct3D and there is very good drivers for the
3D video cards.

You could have a look at http://www.libsdl.org/index.php. SDL claims to
be a cross-platform, quick, used by some nice software and there is
an Ada binding. I have never tried it though...

Pascal.
