-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>The frozen wind,</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i> made me shiver,</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i> with excitement</i>.</div><div style="text-align: right;"></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">There has been some interest in making Frozen Bubble cross platform so I have forked Frozen Bubble v2.0 to my github<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/frozen-bubble/tree/master"> repo</a>. Any contributors are welcome! I will eventually be removing hacks that were needed to make Frozen Bubble work with the old SDL perl. The plan is to make Frozen Bubble cross platform by removing platform specific hacks and dependencies. One of the major switch will be from BSD sockets to SDL_net through SDL perl or XS. The main goal would be to be able to do </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">cpan install FrozenBubble</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">To do this the Makefile.PL will need to be rewritten a little bit. Moreover we will need to make test using code from Frozen Bubble so that it can be smoke tested on CPAN. If contributors need more information please contact me.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4948555691607200165?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1791114/creating-threaded-callbacks-in-xs">problem</a> we were having. <br />
+<br />
+The new callbacks capability in audiospec allow you to procedurally generate sound now. If you would like a simple example take a look at <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/t/core_audiospec.t"> t/core_audiospec.t</a>. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s <a href="http://github.com/ruoso/tecla">tecla</a> (a game for toddlers). Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers. <br />
+<br />
+On a side note some tickets on RT have also received some love ( after 3 or 4 years ... but nonetheless). TonyC++ sorry for the long time in response. <br />
