-Updates on Plan for v2.4
+Thanks nothingmuch, and updates
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>A fierce storm came,<br />With a crash,<br />Old oaks went lame.</i></div><p>After some hunting for memory leaks, it became obvious that some rewrite of XS will be necessary. Since this will be a big undertaking I asked for some help from <a href="http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/index.html">chromatic</a> and <a href="http://onionstand.blogspot.com/">garu</a>. We came up with the following plan for v2.4.</p><br /><p>Currently all XS is mapped to the SDL_perl module. This does not reflect the modular nature of the sdl libs. So the plan is to gradually move SDL structs and their respective functions to their correct namespaces. We will start with SDL::Rect as garu has <a href="http://github.com/garu/SDL_perl/commit/68210590cb457b273ba0f1f891d378b876dc6cd7">added many tests</a> for it. This way the build system will be a lot easier to hack since Module::Build was made for one XS per module. Moreover we will move the Build utilities to Alien::SDL, making it even simpler. The main idea is to adhere to single responsibility principle and encapsulation. </p><br /><p>Obviously this will take some time and effort, but it will pay off in the long run. Any help will be greatly appreciated. <br /></p><i>--yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-5293501082670630307?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div></div>

+<b>SDL Perl Tutorials</b><br />
+<br />
+This past week I have been working on the sorry state of SDL Perl tutorials. Currently I am working on a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/TetrisPL">Tetris Clone</a>. I am hoping to have it done by next Thrusday for TPM meeting. This tutorial is a mix of several tutorials I <a href="http://ezide.com/games/writing-games.html">found online</a>. Another <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1446.html">Lunar Lander tutorial</a> has been submitted by Nelson Ferraz.<br />
+<br />
+If anyone has any really good tutorials for game development (regardless of language) or even request of tutorials. Send it my way I will look into them.<br />
+<br />
+<b>New SDL Perl site</b><br />
+<br />
+Also we have begin work on a new site. It is still needs work. <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/">New Site</a>.<br />
