But it all pays off when I see users do cool things as one of the users has done below. Talon^++! This project is a great example for people wanting to learn 3D from scratch. <br /> --yapgh <br /> This was a project to test how well Perl+SDL performs and does not use OpenGL at all. This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives. Texture mapping doesn't use SDL::GFX::Primitives because textured_polygon just takes a surface, tiles it, and clips out the polygon, which doesn't look 3D at all.<br /><a href="blog-0001.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0002.html">SDL 2.503 Released!</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Thursday, 22 July 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags:</span> <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-Releases.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Releases]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a><br /> SDL 2.503 has been released on to CPAN. The changes are mostly in the new features added to SDLx::* layer. However as our continuing attempt to improve cross platform support we have some low level fixes. <br /> Most interstingly we have begun work on SDLx::Sprite::Animated. Although, volatile, this addition will be highly anticipated. We look forward for more work on it soon. Additionally are the changes in SDLx::Surface. SDLx::Surface is an attempt to provide gfx, pixels, video and low level surface functions in a combined and simpler interface. <br /> Since SDLx::Sprite and SDLx::App depends on SDLx::Surface, new features will be propagated and the magic amplified! These are exciting times for SDL in Perl. So come join us for great justice on #sdl irc.perl.org or sdl-devel@perl.org . <br /><a href="blog-0002.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0003.html">Huge World Maps in less then 100 lines</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Friday, 16 July 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags:</span> <a href="tags-Example.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Example]</a> <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a> <a href="tags-Syntax.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Syntax]</a><br /> <br />Hello folks,<br />Recently we have been working on making the Perl syntax sugar for SDL in the form of SDLx. So far we have got the SDLx::Surface and SDLx::Sprite (garu++) done. So the first thing we did was throw together a quick Zelda map walker. As you can see above. The code is at http://gist.github.com/478440 . The SDL code that this depends on will be SDL 2.503 soonish . We are in the process of cleaning up some more SDLx and Alien::SDL bugs.

Although, volatile, this addition will be highly anticipated. We look forward for more work on it soon. Additionally are the changes in SDLx::Surface.

-Perl+SDL 3D Rendering
+Introducing SDLx::Controller::Object, with our good friend Mario!
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-<i>Recently we have done a lot of work on the next release of SDL Perl. But it all pays off when I see users do cool things as one of the users has done below. Talon^++! This project is a great example for people wanting to learn 3D from scratch. </i><br />
+<b> Hi Folks </b><br />
<br />
-<i>--yapgh</i><br />
+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 <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl">http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl</a> and demo code is available at <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/scroller">http://github.com/kthakore/scroller</a>.<br />
<br />
-<hr />This was a project to test how well Perl+SDL performs and does not use OpenGL at all. This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives. Texture mapping doesn't use SDL::GFX::Primitives because textured_polygon just takes a surface, tiles it, and clips out the polygon, which doesn't look 3D at all.<br />
-<br />
-Below are some screen shots of this little toy in action. If you'd like to try it yourself, you can download the entire project <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/releases/texmap.tgz">here</a>. You can rotate the objects with the mouse, or keyboard arrows. Also press shift to toggle shading and space to switch objects.<br />
-<br />
-NOTE: the project is compressed in the .tgz format, if you are a windows user, you may need a tool like 7zip to extract the contents.<br />

-Hello folks,<br />
+<i>Recently we have done a lot of work on the next release of SDL Perl. But it all pays off when I see users do cool things as one of the users has done below. Talon^++! This project is a great example for people wanting to learn 3D from scratch. </i><br />
<br />
-Recently we have been <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/master">working</a> on making the Perl syntax sugar for SDL in the form of SDLx. So far we have got the SDLx::Surface and SDLx::Sprite (garu++) done. So the first thing we did was throw together a quick Zelda map walker. As you can see above. The code is at <a href="http://gist.github.com/478440">http://gist.github.com/478440</a>. The SDL code that this depends on will be SDL 2.503 soonish . We are in the process of cleaning up some more SDLx and Alien::SDL bugs. After that SDLx::App will be overhauled to make this sort of thing even easier. Finally living up to our goal of '<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Simple Games Easy. Complex Games Possible.' </span><br />
+<i>--yapgh</i><br />
<br />
+<hr />This was a project to test how well Perl+SDL performs and does not use OpenGL at all. This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives. Texture mapping doesn't use SDL::GFX::Primitives because textured_polygon just takes a surface, tiles it, and clips out the polygon, which doesn't look 3D at all.<br />

-The Build Process of SDL Perl
+SDL 2.503 Released!
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-<p>A while ago I had a long chat with mst on why SDL uses Module::Build rather then Make. I told him it is a simple matter of code inertia. The existing Module::Build system has worked well for us so far. Never the less, he convinced me that switching to Make will improve debugging the Build system. But to be able to switch we will need to completely replace the Build system. I am not prepared to do that so I will just present the requirements so mst or someone else can at least attempt to switch.</p><br />
-<br />
-<h3>The Build Process </h3><br />
-<b> Alien::SDL </b><br />
-<br />
-<p>SDL Perl depends on a few C libraries for a complete install. This is handled by Alien::SDL. First we look for existing SDL libraries and dependencies by doing a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L581">File::Find</a> for headers. If these headers are found we present and option for the user to use those. We then store these locations in Alien::SDL->config options 'cflags', 'prefix' and 'libs'. If we do not have libraries available even for a minimum SDL installed ( SDL.h is not found). We provide several platform specific options. </p><br />
-<p>For windows we have a simpler process. We download<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L7"> prebuilt </a>binaries ( and checksum ) based on the user's selection and just copy them in to the right location. Again the 'prefix', 'cflags', and 'libs' is saved in Alien::SDL->config. </p><br />
-<p>For *nix/MacOSX we download sources and attempt to compile them. To be able to do this we download several other dependencies like libpng, jpeg and pango. You can see how we do this using hashes <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L404">here</a>. During the compile process we also apply patches as needed for the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L430">sources</a>. Once this is done we can head to SDL Build.PL </p><br />
-<b> SDL Perl dependency resolution </b><br />
-<br />
-SDL's Build is responsible for linking the right libraries to the correct XS. If libraries are missing it will disable the component (not put it in SDL->config). <br />
-<br />
-<p>For example to build <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/Build.PL#L342">Image.xs</a> we require libsdl, libsdl_image and lib[jpg|png|tiff]. So we would check for these headers in the prefix provided by Alien::SDL->config. If they are not provided we will disable the SDL::Image module. </p><br />
-<p>More over the availability of each library is specified as a -DMACRO to the gcc compiler. This way we can prevent XS failures due to missing libraries using #DEFINES. Here the SDL_image macro is <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/Build.PL#L422">defined</a> and <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Image.xs#L13">used</a>. The availability of the module is then available from <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/t/image.t#L20">SDL::Config->has()</a> <br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<b> Conclusion </b> <br />
-<p>This is a high level overview of our Build process, because frankly I hate traumatizing my brain with this again. Credits have to go to FROGGS and kmx for helping with this Build scheme. Hopefully my post have helped people at the very least appreciate the problem scope of this Build system. That said I believe a fresh written build system, with these requirements in mind, will be more then welcome.<br />

+Hello folks,<br />
<br />
+Recently we have been <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/master">working</a> on making the Perl syntax sugar for SDL in the form of SDLx. So far we have got the SDLx::Surface and SDLx::Sprite (garu++) done. So the first thing we did was throw together a quick Zelda map walker. As you can see above. The code is at <a href="http://gist.github.com/478440">http://gist.github.com/478440</a>. The SDL code that this depends on will be SDL 2.503 soonish . We are in the process of cleaning up some more SDLx and Alien::SDL bugs. After that SDLx::App will be overhauled to make this sort of thing even easier. Finally living up to our goal of '<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Simple Games Easy. Complex Games Possible.' </span><br />

-<h1>Creating a SDL Surface piddle</h1><br />
-PDL's core type is a piddle.<br />
-Once a piddle is provided to PDL it can go do a numerous amounts of things.<br />
-Please see the example in '<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/examples/cookbook/pdl.pl">examples/cookbook/pdl.pl</a>' in github.<br />
<br />
-<h3>Creating a simple piddle</h3><br />

-Define the <b>$width</b>, <b>$height</b> and <b>$bytes_per_pixel</b>. Your <b>$bytes_per_pixel</b> is the number of bits (in this case 32) divided by 8 bits per byte. Therefore for our 32 bpp we have 4 Bpp;<br />

+<p>A while ago I had a long chat with mst on why SDL uses Module::Build rather then Make. I told him it is a simple matter of code inertia. The existing Module::Build system has worked well for us so far. Never the less, he convinced me that switching to Make will improve debugging the Build system. But to be able to switch we will need to completely replace the Build system. I am not prepared to do that so I will just present the requirements so mst or someone else can at least attempt to switch.</p><br />

+<h3>The Build Process </h3><br />
+<b> Alien::SDL </b><br />
+<br />
+<p>SDL Perl depends on a few C libraries for a complete install. This is handled by Alien::SDL. First we look for existing SDL libraries and dependencies by doing a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L581">File::Find</a> for headers. If these headers are found we present and option for the user to use those. We then store these locations in Alien::SDL->config options 'cflags', 'prefix' and 'libs'. If we do not have libraries available even for a minimum SDL installed ( SDL.h is not found). We provide several platform specific options. </p><br />
+<p>For windows we have a simpler process. We download<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L7"> prebuilt </a>binaries ( and checksum ) based on the user's selection and just copy them in to the right location. Again the 'prefix', 'cflags', and 'libs' is saved in Alien::SDL->config. </p><br />
+<p>For *nix/MacOSX we download sources and attempt to compile them. To be able to do this we download several other dependencies like libpng, jpeg and pango. You can see how we do this using hashes <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L404">here</a>. During the compile process we also apply patches as needed for the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/Alien_SDL/blob/master/inc/My/Utility.pm#L430">sources</a>. Once this is done we can head to SDL Build.PL </p><br />
+<b> SDL Perl dependency resolution </b><br />
+<br />
+SDL's Build is responsible for linking the right libraries to the correct XS. If libraries are missing it will disable the component (not put it in SDL->config). <br />
+<br />
+<p>For example to build <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/Build.PL#L342">Image.xs</a> we require libsdl, libsdl_image and lib[jpg|png|tiff]. So we would check for these headers in the prefix provided by Alien::SDL->config. If they are not provided we will disable the SDL::Image module. </p><br />
+<p>More over the availability of each library is specified as a -DMACRO to the gcc compiler. This way we can prevent XS failures due to missing libraries using #DEFINES. Here the SDL_image macro is <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/Build.PL#L422">defined</a> and <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Image.xs#L13">used</a>. The availability of the module is then available from <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/t/image.t#L20">SDL::Config->has()</a> <br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<b> Conclusion </b> <br />
+<p>This is a high level overview of our Build process, because frankly I hate traumatizing my brain with this again. Credits have to go to FROGGS and kmx for helping with this Build scheme. Hopefully my post have helped people at the very least appreciate the problem scope of this Build system. That said I believe a fresh written build system, with these requirements in mind, will be more then welcome.<br />

+Suppose you want a surface of size (200,400) and 32 bit (RGBA).<br />
+<br />
+<pre style='color:#d1d1d1;background:#000000;'><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>my</span> <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>(</span> $bytes_per_pixel<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> $width<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> $height <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>)</span> <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span> <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>(</span> <span style='color:#00a800; '>4</span><span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> <span style='color:#00a800; '>200</span><span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> <span style='color:#00a800; '>400</span> <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>)</span><span style='color:#b060b0; '>;</span>
+</pre><br />
+Define the <b>$width</b>, <b>$height</b> and <b>$bytes_per_pixel</b>. Your <b>$bytes_per_pixel</b> is the number of bits (in this case 32) divided by 8 bits per byte. Therefore for our 32 bpp we have 4 Bpp;<br />
+<br />
+<pre style='color:#d1d1d1;background:#000000;'><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>my</span> $piddle <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span> zeros<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>(</span> byte<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> $bytes_per_pixel<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> $width<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>,</span> $height <span style='color:#d2cd86; '>)</span><span style='color:#b060b0; '>;</span>

+Create a normal $piddle with zeros, byte format and the Bpp x width x height dimensions.<br />

+Here is where we get the acutal data the piddle is pointing to. We will have SDL create a new surface from this function.<br />

+</pre><br />
+Using the same dimensions we create the surface using <b>SDL::Surface->new_form()</b>. The <b>$width * $Bpp</b> is the scanline (pitch) of the surface in bytes.<br />
+<br />
+<pre style='color:#d1d1d1;background:#000000;'><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>warn</span> <span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"Made surface of </span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>$width</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>, </span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>$height</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '> and "</span><span style='color:#d2cd86; '>.</span> $surface<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>-></span>format<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>-></span>BytesPerPixel<span style='color:#b060b0; '>;</span>

-<h4><i>The road so far</i></h4><br />
-Things have been busy but fruitful. Our two core modules are getting to be a bit more stable. <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-SDL+1.403">Alien::SDL 1.405</a> is behaving well. This foundational stability will start to show results in <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=SDL+2.405">SDL</a> too I believe. Most excitingly the main developer of frozen-bubble is reviewing our <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/Games-FrozenBubble-2.202/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm">Games::FrozenBubble</a> port to CPAN. All good and well, but to keep this project going we need to improve.<br />

-<h4><i>Getting people to use SDL Perl</i></h4><br />
-After a long chat with a new SDL user on #sdl today, I realize we still have some way to go. Currently it seems we are lacking in a few areas. We can definitely use some feedback and help in these areas. <br />

+<p>In an attempt to make pixel access easier on SDL_Surface pixels. I have started work on <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/7ee1a1a7f162080a6fa5274e95b80961486e21e5">SDLx::Surface</a>. So far I have only start on the 32 bpp surfaces.</p><br />
+<p>The general idea is to make Pointer Values (PV) of each pixel in the surface and place them into a 2D matrix. First I make pointer values like this: </p><br />

-Release SDL 2.4: Frozen-Bubble begins to go to CPAN
+Getting people to use SDL Perl: Docs, API, and Distribution
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-<b><br />
-SDL 2.4 is released!</b><br />
+<h4><i>The road so far</i></h4><br />
+Things have been busy but fruitful. Our two core modules are getting to be a bit more stable. <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-SDL+1.403">Alien::SDL 1.405</a> is behaving well. This foundational stability will start to show results in <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=SDL+2.405">SDL</a> too I believe. Most excitingly the main developer of frozen-bubble is reviewing our <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/Games-FrozenBubble-2.202/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm">Games::FrozenBubble</a> port to CPAN. All good and well, but to keep this project going we need to improve.<br />
<br />
-After 8 months of work this picture begins to sum it up:<br />
+<h4><i>Getting people to use SDL Perl</i></h4><br />
+After a long chat with a new SDL user on #sdl today, I realize we still have some way to go. Currently it seems we are lacking in a few areas. We can definitely use some feedback and help in these areas. <br />
<br />

-<p>If you cannot wait then grab SDL 2.4 and Alien::SDL 1.2 (pick PANGO support) from CPAN and grab the toolchain branch from the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/frozen-bubble/tree/toolchain">repo</a>. Disclaimer the branch will be volatile for a bit.</p><br />

-A summer of possibilities (SDL_perl and GSOC 2010 )
+Games::FrozenBubble: It is a start!
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-<h3>GSOC 2010 </h3><br />
-<p>As many of the readers must know The Perl Foundation has been accepted for the GSOC 2010 program. There are several SDL_perl mentors involved in it too. Right now we are accepting student applications. <p><br />
+We released a playable (client) frozen bubble on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/Games-FrozenBubble-0.001_1/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm">CPAN</a>. There is more work to be done but it is a great start! It currently works on Windows and Linux.<br />
<br />
-<b>Process to Apply</b><br />
-<ul><li>Sign in as a student here http://socghop.appspot.com/</li>
-<li>Submit a proposal before April 5th</li>
-<li>Usually it helps to discuss the idea with us on irc (#sdl irc.perl.org)</li>
-</ul><br />
-<br />
-<h3>Ideas </h3><br />
-<p><a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/wiki/gsoc2010">Here</a> are some ideas for SDL perl but we happily accepted student ideas.<br />
- Make a student wiki page on this site of your ideas! We look forward to helping you guys with your ideas :) </p><br />

<br />
-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? <br />
<br />
-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. <br />
+In prep for the TPM meeting we have been working hard to release a new version of SDL Perl and Alien::SDL. After a lot of feed back from testers (Mike Stok, Stuart Watt, and Chas Owens), we where able to get a working version on 64bit and Mac. The releases will be out tomorrow but here <br />
+is some eye candy to tide you guys over.<br />
<br />
-Take a look at it <a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">here</a>. Download that and call it<a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">[Shooter.pl]</a>. To win click the balls.<br />
<br />
-To play this game you need the following:<br />
+This is shooter.pl finally working in MacOSX and 64 bit.<br />
<br />
-<ul><li> <b>Only for Linux)</b> sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libsdl_gfx-dev </li>
-<li> cpan Alien::SDL </li>
-<li> Click Download Source http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign </li>
-<li> Extract it </li>
-<li> perl Build.PL; perl Build; perl Build install </li>
-<li> perl Shooter.pl </li>
-</ul><br />
-I will put up binaries soon-ish.<br />
+<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i.imgur.com/NQ55t.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://i.imgur.com/NQ55t.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
-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. <br />
+k23z_ mentioned I should get some more SDL_perl videos out to attract some devs. So here goes. <br />
<br />
-I do have to tidy it up and right documentation for it. This way I will be able to present it clearly to my fellow mongers. I am also still looking for ideas to make this a more polished game.

-So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1791114/creating-threaded-callbacks-in-xs">problem</a> we were having. <br />
+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? <br />
<br />
-The new callbacks capability in audiospec allow you to procedurally generate sound now. If you would like a simple example take a look at <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/t/core_audiospec.t"> t/core_audiospec.t</a>. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s <a href="http://github.com/ruoso/tecla">tecla</a> (a game for toddlers). Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers. <br />
+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. <br />
<br />
-On a side note some tickets on RT have also received some love ( after 3 or 4 years ... but nonetheless). TonyC++ sorry for the long time in response. <br />
+Take a look at it <a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">here</a>. Download that and call it<a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">[Shooter.pl]</a>. To win click the balls.<br />

</div><br />
-<h1>Alpha Release of new API</h1>After a considerable amount of hacking and rewriting we have release the first development release of SDL perl on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-2.3_1/">CPAN</a>. <br />
<br />
-<h2>Overview of 2.3_1</h2>In this version our goal was to tackle the proper allocations and destruction of SDL resources. We have accomplished this for all SDL Core structures. Moreover we have also improved the test suite and documentation considerably. Please read the <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL-2.3_1/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a> for a more detailed look. <br />
+So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1791114/creating-threaded-callbacks-in-xs">problem</a> we were having. <br />

If you would like a simple example take a look at <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/t/core_audiospec.t"> t/core_audiospec.t</a>. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s <a href="http://github.com/ruoso/tecla">tecla</a> (a game for toddlers). Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers. <br />
<br />
-<h2>Next steps</h2><ul><li>Complete bindings for Image, Mixer, ... so on</li>
-<li>Come up with a method to provide threading in callbacks</li>
-<li>Maintain and improve SDL Core as results for CPANTS come in </li>
-</ul><br />

+So over the past week we have been working hard to release the next Alpha for SDL-2.3. In this release we have ported SDL_Image completely, fixed false negatives in our testing suite, improved conditional building. Also we have also started to migrate the very pretty SDL_GFX library. Here is the test for it, enjoy.<br />

-<h1><a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorials</a> </h1><br />
-<p>When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended <a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorial</a> 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 <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/examples/sols/ch02.pl">Ch 02</a> 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!<br />
-</p><br />
-<p>To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library </p><br />
-<h1>Getting SDL Dependencies </h1><br />
-Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:<br />
-<br />
-<pre>$ 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 </pre><br />
-On Windows we recommend using <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/">Strawberry Perl</a>. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.<br />
-<br />
-Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL<br />
-<br />
-<pre>$ cpan Alien::SDL</pre>** Add sudo to this for Linux<br />
-<br />
-<h1>Getting Bleeding SDL </h1><br />
-The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign"> site </a>.<br />
+<h1>Alpha Release of new API</h1>After a considerable amount of hacking and rewriting we have release the first development release of SDL perl on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-2.3_1/">CPAN</a>. <br />
<br />
-Extract it and cd into the folder run <br />
-<pre>$ cpan . </pre>** The dot is needed <br />
-** in Linux you may need to do sudo<br />
+<h2>Overview of 2.3_1</h2>In this version our goal was to tackle the proper allocations and destruction of SDL resources. We have accomplished this for all SDL Core structures. Moreover we have also improved the test suite and documentation considerably. Please read the <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL-2.3_1/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a> for a more detailed look. <br />
<br />

-Had an exam on the weekend so I am a bit late. Here is the progress so far. <br />
-<ul><li> SDL::Video at 97% </li>
-<li> SDL::Events at 25% </li>
-<li> ~1000 tests cases passing on Windows and Linux </li>
-</ul><br />
-<a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/app/public_graphs/start/1"><img alt="SDL Smoke tests" src="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/app/public_graphs/image/1" /> </a><br />
<br />
-The major release maybe coming quicker than we thought. FROGGS++ for helping a lot out on this. However we need <b>more testers!!</b> Please contact us on <a href="http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=89f140215d60860684cee2f6a917607f&server=irc.perl.org&channel=%23sdl">#sdl</a> and we will set you up with an account on <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/">Smolder</a>.<br />
+So I have been hacking for a while on SDL::Events::set_event_filter. The code below is an example usage. The magic behind this is <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/1712fe42d62c2a3e382e6bf91366eb2ce9d2f5f4/src/Core/Events.xs">here</a> <br />

-In the past week the SDL Perl team has been busy! This is what we have accomplished<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<h3>Commitment to Testing!</h3>In an effort to focus on continuing our focus on testing we have setup a <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx:8080/app/public_projects/smoke_reports/1">Smolder</a> 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.<br />
-<br />
-<h3>SDL::Video</h3>For the core development most of the focus has been on redesigning around the Video category of the SDL perl API. As of now we are <a href="http://bit.ly/2ar7bK">50% done</a>. 19 functions out of 38 functions have been implemented and tested. <br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<h3>Site Redesign + Migration</h3>On the end of the spectrum, Froggs has been hard at work on the <a href="http://froggs.de/sdlperl/">graphical design </a>of the site. More over with mst's help we will soon be migrating to http://sdl.perl.org. <br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<h3>Documentation</h3>Moreover this week we have seen an increase effort from magnet on the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/redesign">SDL docs</a>. Kudos!<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<h3>SWIG Experimentation</h3>Finally <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commits/swig">Katrina</a> has begun looking into SWIG as alternative for SDL in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-5353247044730007101?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives. Texture mapping doesn't use SDL::GFX::Primitives because textured_polygon just takes a surface, tiles it, and clips out the polygon, which doesn't look 3D at all.<br /><a href="blog-0001.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0002.html">SDL 2.503 Released!</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Thursday, 22 July 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags: <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-Releases.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Releases]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a></span><br /> SDL 2.503 has been released on to CPAN.

However as our continuing attempt to improve cross platform support we have some low level fixes. <br /> Most interstingly we have begun work on SDLx::Sprite::Animated. Although, volatile, this addition will be highly anticipated. We look forward for more work on it soon. Additionally are the changes in SDLx::Surface. SDLx::Surface is an attempt to provide gfx, pixels, video and low level surface functions in a combined and simpler interface. <br /> Since SDLx::Sprite and SDLx::App depends on SDLx::Surface, new features will be propagated and the magic amplified!

This is all perl and SDL, with the help of libsdl_gfx for SDL::GFX::Primitives.

Although, volatile, this addition will be highly anticipated. We look forward for more work on it soon. Additionally are the changes in SDLx::Surface.

So far we have got the SDLx::Surface and SDLx::Sprite (garu++) done. So the first thing we did was throw together a quick Zelda map walker. As you can see above. The code is at http://gist.github.com/478440 . The SDL code that this depends on will be SDL 2.503 soonish . We are in the process of cleaning up some more SDLx and Alien::SDL bugs. After that SDLx::App will be overhauled to make this sort of thing even easier.
