Other idea:

Make on table Project, where all the SDKs and Game Projects come in,
and another table relations.
Because: Some games can be buit upon others too, and some SDKs need others too.

So you need SDK 1 (XLib) for SDK4 (GGI),
you need SDK4 for Game Example1,
and Game4 is based on Game Example1.

If you need help with the Database Creation, just reply.
