Most of what can be done in source, can be done in SDL - one way or another,
albeit much more slowly.
Don't shoot for a full implementation, but a "proof of concept"

Lots of time you can use a spreadsheet to lay things out and give you
instantaneous results, and have a few extra calculations to keep a check on the
intermediate and final results.

Think of frames in an animation or different camera views as just another block
of cells using different numbers...   Then you can see them all at once!
