-<h4><i>The road so far</i></h4><br />
-Things have been busy but fruitful. Our two core modules are getting to be a bit more stable. <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-SDL+1.403">Alien::SDL 1.405</a> is behaving well. This foundational stability will start to show results in <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=SDL+2.405">SDL</a> too I believe. Most excitingly the main developer of frozen-bubble is reviewing our <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/Games-FrozenBubble-2.202/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm">Games::FrozenBubble</a> port to CPAN. All good and well, but to keep this project going we need to improve.<br />

+Hello folks,<br />
<br />
-<h4><i>Getting people to use SDL Perl</i></h4><br />
-After a long chat with a new SDL user on #sdl today, I realize we still have some way to go. Currently it seems we are lacking in a few areas. We can definitely use some feedback and help in these areas. <br />
+Recently we have been <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/master">working</a> on making the Perl syntax sugar for SDL in the form of SDLx. So far we have got the SDLx::Surface and SDLx::Sprite (garu++) done. So the first thing we did was throw together a quick Zelda map walker. As you can see above. The code is at <a href="http://gist.github.com/478440">http://gist.github.com/478440</a>. The SDL code that this depends on will be SDL 2.503 soonish . We are in the process of cleaning up some more SDLx and Alien::SDL bugs. After that SDLx::App will be overhauled to make this sort of thing even easier. Finally living up to our goal of '<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Simple Games Easy. Complex Games Possible.' </span><br />

-<ul><li>Tutorials/Documentation<br />
-</li>
-
-<ul><li>We have more docs now on http://sdl.perl.org but they suck</li>
-<li>What type of tutorials do you think will be good for beginners?</li>
-
-<ul><li>A project start to finish?</li>
-<li>Individual tutorials for various topics?</li>
-<li>What needs to go in SDL::CookBook?</li>
-</ul></ul>
-<li>API sweetness</li>
-
-<ul><li>SDL Perl depends on distinct C libraries</li>
-
-<ul><li>This makes naming conventions, data formats different the SDL:: namespaces</li>
-<li>How do people design this stuff?</li>
-
-<ul><li>We are hackers and we just go do stuff but I think this needs some prior thought</li>
-<li>Any takers?</li>
-</ul></ul></ul>
-<li>Distribution</li>
-
-<ul><li>If SDL scripts can be packaged up simply for game developers to distribute their games it will be a big plus</li>
-
-<ul><li>One way is a Wx::Perl::Packer clone</li>
-<li>Another is a CPAN/Steam clone that game devs can upload games too and people can point and click download games? </li>
-</ul></ul></ul><div>If anyone wants to help in these areas please talk to us on sdl-devel@perl.org. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-7164362190686365958?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
