Welcome to the new SDL Perl pages, -graciously hosted by Perl.org.
- -28 August 2009 SDL_Perl is at v2.3
- -The master branch is stable at v2.3 . -This release is disable for windows for now. -This version provides a lot of critical bugfixes from the previous release on cpan. -Read the CHANGELOG.
- -Work is being done on v2.4 to add major over haul for memleaks. -The bleeding edge code is available from http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_Perl/. -The experimental branch is where the v2.4 will be developed.
- -Also http://frozen-bubble.org/ is being migrated to CPAN as Games::FrozenBubble. -This is being tracked on our new tracker http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/. -We have opened a ticket for ithttp://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/2.
- -Also the https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=SDL_perl is active again. -We are cleaning up bugs and responding to reporters. -See http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2/lib/SDL.pm. -Please report any strange behavior to the bug tracker. ---Kartik
- -Updated and Working coming soon!!!
- -Of course, -if you grab a snapshot and install it, -not only can you report successes (and probably a few bugs), -but you can play with the demo program for each tutorial! -It's very fun.
- -Developing games with Perl and SDL on Ars Technica written by Andy Bakun http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2006/02/games-perl.ars
- -Note this is old.
- -Why are these pages new? -In October, -David Göhrig, -the creator and maintainer of SDL Perl, -announced that he was quitting his job, -selling all his stuff, -and going backpacking in Europe for a few months. -That left SDL Perl without a maintainer or a home. -But SDL Perl is back and running with Kartik and David's help.
- -We're working on polishing the latest code available to make the v2.5 release. -Here is the roadmap so far. - -http://wiki.github.com/cthulhuology/SDLPerl
- -Hopefully, -Perl will soon be a wonderful language in which to write media applications -- including games.
