-A stoic stone will sit idle,
-but will some effort,
-A rolling rock will run!

-In the past week the SDL Perl team has been busy! This is what we have accomplished
+
+
+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?
-
+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.

+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:
-
+
+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.

Commitment to Testing!
In an effort to focus on continuing our focus on testing we have setup a Smolder site for the SDL redesign process. Currently we have two platforms (linux, windows32) regularly tested on here. If there are more people following the redesign process and would like to share their test results; contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org and we will provide access to you.+I started hacking a small point an click game a few days back.
