-Migrating Sol's Tutorial of SDL to SDL_Perl +Introducing SDLx::Controller::Object, with our good friend Mario!

Sol's Tutorials


When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended Sol's Tutorial to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the Ch 02 code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!


To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library


Getting SDL Dependencies


Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev 

On Windows we recommend using Strawberry Perl. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.

Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL

$ cpan Alien::SDL
** Add sudo to this for Linux

Getting Bleeding SDL


The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this site .

Extract it and cd into the folder run
$ cpan . 
** The dot is needed
** in Linux you may need to do sudo

Then you can run this script by doing

$ perl examples/sols/ch02.pl

+
+This past week I have been working on making interfacing physics with SDL rendering a lot easier. The idea was to provide the user a callback to describe the acceleration of their object in the X, Y axis and Rotation. Using this idea I have completed a preliminary work for SDLx::Controller::Object. The demo below shows an example that was made with it. The SDLx* code is available at http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl and demo code is available at http://github.com/kthakore/scroller.
