All of the 4 AI coding assistants I've tried (claude3, gemini, gpt4, deepseek) used SFML for graphics when I asked them to code boids and game of life in C++. I'm wondering if that's because it's cross platform or that there's more code out there using SFML that these models got trained on? SFML seems relatively recent compared to Qt or even FLTK, so it seems kind of odd that there would be more SFML training data. It also seems odd that all 4 were in agreement here that SFML should be used for graphics in a C++ program.
SFML is more accessible for lightweight/exploratory/educational use, and so I wouldn't be surprised if it appears more often in training data associated with those simple "let's learn" sized projects.
