However I know that these things will fade and I will need something else to take the place. Usually what has worked for me in the past was to set milestones. These will act as roots, keeping me interested in being involved. After all in words better than mines.<br /><blockquote><i>We all “scratch our own itches”. It’s why I started Linux, it’s why I started git, and it’s why I am still involved. --<a href="http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7439/1.html">Linus</a><br /></i></blockquote><br />So here are my evolving milestones for Gaming in Perl:<br /><ul><li> Make Tetris,Pong, so on [soon-ish]<br /></li><ul><li>Hack it until its Perly (shows the power Perl can provide for games) </li></ul><li>Do game-a-thon [Starting January 2010]<br /></li><ul><li>Simply</li><ul><li> Get two random words (Warp + hole = portal)<br /></li><li> Make a small game</li><li>Every week for 52 weeks</li></ul></ul><li>Use the results from this to make some Perl specific tools [Parallel to game-a-thon]<br /></li><ul><li>SDL::Game </li></ul></ul>--signed YAPGH<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-215619435826309735?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div></div>

So I will start moving my ugly XS to Magic Land.<br />

+<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 />
