Updates

Ok so my blog posts have gone down a bit due to me using my fingers for coding. We have started to get some updates to SDL docs so that good. Also some of the tutorials are shaping up. This is what I have been hacking this past week.









You can grab the code. Note you will have to install deps yourself. Read the README file. It is not a tutorial yet, because it was hacked together in ~50 hours. But it playable now. During building this I found out that MacOSX (and Snow Leopard) has died again.

Hackfest

So with dngor's help this sunday (27/09/09) we will have a hackfest to fix MacOSX support. Anyone with a MacOSX and wants to help is welcome on #sdl irc.perl.org. We will also try to fix up a lot of docs and the tutorial for a early next week release. Also if we can we will migrate to the new site.

+Perl+SDL 3D Rendering +

+
+Recently we have done a lot of work on the next release of SDL Perl. But it all pays off when I see users do cool things as one of the users has done below. Talon^++! This project is a great example for people wanting to learn 3D from scratch.
+
+--yapgh
+
+
This was a project to test how well Perl+SDL performs and does not use OpenGL at all. This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives. Texture mapping doesn't use SDL::GFX::Primitives because textured_polygon just takes a surface, tiles it, and clips out the polygon, which doesn't look 3D at all.
+
+Below are some screen shots of this little toy in action. If you'd like to try it yourself, you can download the entire project here. You can rotate the objects with the mouse, or keyboard arrows. Also press shift to toggle shading and space to switch objects.
+
+NOTE: the project is compressed in the .tgz format, if you are a windows user, you may need a tool like 7zip to extract the contents.
