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
+So a new alpha is out on CPAN, after a bit of a break. We are trying to pick up our speed again. Hopefully we can get back to the weekly updates. This week I am going to try to get Mixer and TTF bindings test, redesigned and doc'd. Hopefully soon we can start working on Frozen Bubble, as things are starting to come together. This alpha release has finally given us a good implementation of SDL Timers. Also Daniel Ruoso has also started a series blog posts of making games with SDL Perl. Hopefully this can get more people in SDL, cause we can sure use the help!
