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:
+As you know I have received a TPF grant to write a SDL Perl Manual.

$ 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.
