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...
