-<div style="text-align: right;"><i><br />A stoic stone will sit idle, <br />but will some effort,<br />A rolling rock will run!<br /></i><br /></div><br />In the past week the SDL Perl team has been busy! This is what we have accomplished<br /><br /><br /><h3>Commitment to Testing!</h3>In an effort to focus on continuing our focus on testing we have setup a <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/app/public_projects/smoke_reports/1">Smolder</a> site for the SDL redesign process. Currently we have two platforms (linux, windows32) regularly tested on here. If there are more people following the redesign process and would like to share their test results; contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org and we will provide access to you.<br /><br /><h3>SDL::Video</h3>For the core development most of the focus has been on redesigning around the Video category of the SDL perl API. As of now we are <a href="http://bit.ly/2ar7bK">50% done</a>. 19 functions out of 38 functions have been implemented and tested. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Site Redesign + Migration</h3>On the end of the spectrum, Froggs has been hard at work on the <a href="http://froggs.de/sdlperl/">graphical design </a>of the site. More over with mst's help we will soon be migrating to http://sdl.perl.org. <br /><br /><br /><br /><h3>Documentation</h3>Moreover this week we have seen an increase effort from magnet on the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/redesign">SDL docs</a>. Kudos!<br /><br /><br /><h3>SWIG Experimentation</h3>Finally <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/swig">Katrina</a> has begun looking into SWIG as alternative for SDL in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-5353247044730007101?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+Yes, I know it's already wednesday, sorry for the delay! The <a href="http://yapgh.blogspot.com/2011/02/sdl-perl-game-contest.html">SDL Perl Game Contest</a> continues - I should know, I'm about halfway through my third game now! - and last week we had some real nice entries. Check 'em out!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/FROGGS/Games-WheelOfFortune">Wheel of Fortune</a>, by Tobias Leich (FROGGS)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-chf_zVmlu-k/TYEhNEfL_4I/AAAAAAAAALA/J0Q8OHHPTAw/s1600/wheel_of_fortune.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-chf_zVmlu-k/TYEhNEfL_4I/AAAAAAAAALA/J0Q8OHHPTAw/s400/wheel_of_fortune.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584781521342693250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Who never yelled madly in front of the TV watching contestants make a fool out of themselves for not knowing the words in Wheel of Fortune? Well, now you can show them how it's done in this Hangman style classic! One note though: to play it, you must install the latest experimental version of SDL Perl, that includes rects with alpha blending and other goodies.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/jtpalmer/sdl-contest/tree/master/week2">Snake</a>, by JT Palmer (jtpalmer)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtigRvQdJFo/TYEhXed7WHI/AAAAAAAAALI/SwHeKIJdGyo/s1600/snake.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtigRvQdJFo/TYEhXed7WHI/AAAAAAAAALI/SwHeKIJdGyo/s400/snake.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584781700115421298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Another classic remake beautifully done by jtpalmer. This "nibbles" clone actually comes with a nice twist: a full-blown network version that lets you enjoy the game with a friend anywhere in the world. Sweet!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/zpmorgan/march_sdl_madness/tree/master/first">CyberHack</a>, by Zach Morgan (zpmorgan)<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gD_eGGjtJlM/TYE_7iaPbSI/AAAAAAAAALg/0BDAFCMutpE/s1600/cyberhack.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 315px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gD_eGGjtJlM/TYE_7iaPbSI/AAAAAAAAALg/0BDAFCMutpE/s400/cyberhack.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584815304997825826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />CyberHack is a quick platformer demo by zpmorgan, our newest participant in the Challenge! In this game, you control a green creature that falls through a deep underground maze. It still has some minor quirks in the image blitting, but it's nevertheless really fun to play!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/kthakore/SDL_Contest/tree/master/second">Synthesia Kinda</a>, by Kartik Thakore (kthakore)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LK_ztBA-aOw/TYEhktRtpMI/AAAAAAAAALQ/d-NivmUQ1Cs/s1600/synthesia_kinda.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 177px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LK_ztBA-aOw/TYEhktRtpMI/AAAAAAAAALQ/d-NivmUQ1Cs/s400/synthesia_kinda.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584781927429022914" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Mad Canadian strikes again, in a dazzling... thing. It was originally supposed to be based in <a href="http://www.synthesiagame.com/">Synthesia</a>, but kthakore envisioned a game that plays <span style="font-weight: bold;">any</span> image! Of course, as FROGGS put it, <span style="font-style: italic;">"you can't play a random image and expect that it sounds like mozart"</span>, but kthakore is determined to work on it even more, letting it flow until it find its course in game art history.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/PerlGameDev/Games-Reflex">Reflex</a>, by... me (garu)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXybYwheg88/TYEh0_lLrmI/AAAAAAAAALY/t-vQnkkzVGw/s1600/reflex.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXybYwheg88/TYEh0_lLrmI/AAAAAAAAALY/t-vQnkkzVGw/s400/reflex.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584782207220428386" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is a very simple game in which you test your reflexes by pressing any key on your keyboard whenever the big red button lights up. Your Top 20 times appear on the right. According to <a href="http://humanbenchmark.com/">HumanBenchmark</a>, the average reaction time for visual stimuli in a humans is 215 miliseconds. Are you faster??<br /><br />This week's roundup of games showed some pretty interesting stuff, and we saw a lot of ideas come to life in a very short period of time. I can't wait to see the next entries!<br /><br />See you next week =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-1170164316359856576?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
