-Quick Game for Toronto Perl Mongers +SDL 2.518 Released: Neverhood Clone
-
-
+So Blaizer started a Neverhood clone and fixed a lot of the Controller code to make it work nicely. This has been released as SDL 2.518. It does break back compat a bit, but not too much.
-So I am preparing a presentation of the new SDL perl for February's Toronto Perl Mongers meeting. What better way to so off SDL perl then with a game?
+Have a look at http://sdl.perl.org/SDL-Deprecated.html#2_517 to see the breakages.
-I started hacking a small point an click game a few days back. I really didn't have a idea in mind, but I did have a goal. I wanted to make a game that shows the basics of a game in SDL. Drawing to screen, game loops, physics and so on. I think I have accomplished it so far.
+The documentation for Controller has also been improved considerably.
-Take a look at it here. Download that and call it[Shooter.pl]. To win click the balls.

-To play this game you need the following:
+Finally here is a video of the neverhood clone so far
-
-I will put up binaries soon-ish.
-
-It is a playable (albeit hard) game right now. All 7 seven levels of it. The purpose of the game is simple click the balls to win. Sounds easy but it isn't. You also get a time in milliseconds after each level. Share your scores on here! I will leave it up to you guys to be honest.
-
-I do have to tidy it up and right documentation for it. This way I will be able to present it clearly to my fellow mongers. I am also still looking for ideas to make this a more polished game. FROGGS recommend I make it a classic NES duck hunt game. I thought since I am using gravity I could do a UFO game out of it where you shoot the UFOs. I am open to your ideas.
