-<h1><a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorials</a> </h1><br />
-<p>When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended <a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorial</a> to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/examples/sols/ch02.pl">Ch 02</a> code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!<br />
-</p><br />
-<p>To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library </p><br />
-<h1>Getting SDL Dependencies </h1><br />
-Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:<br />
-<br />
-<pre>$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev </pre><br />
-On Windows we recommend using <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/">Strawberry Perl</a>. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.<br />
-<br />
-Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL<br />
-<br />
-<pre>$ cpan Alien::SDL</pre>** Add sudo to this for Linux<br />
-<br />
-<h1>Getting Bleeding SDL </h1><br />
-The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign"> site </a>.<br />
-<br />
-Extract it and cd into the folder run <br />
-<pre>$ cpan . </pre>** The dot is needed <br />
-** in Linux you may need to do sudo<br />
-<br />
-Then you can run this script by doing<br />

+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>
