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. <br /> The Build Process <br /> Alien::SDL <br /><a href="blog-0001.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0002.html">SDL RC 2.5 decides to play with PDL</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tuesday, 29 June 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags: <a href="tags-PDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[PDL]</a> <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a></span><br /> PDL provides great number crunching capabilities to Perl and SDL provides game-developer quality real-time bitmapping and sound.<br />You can use PDL and SDL together to create real-time,<br />responsive animations and simulations.<br /><a href="blog-0002.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0003.html">Providing direct memory access to SDL_Surface's pixels</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Wednesday, 23 June 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags: <a href="tags-Pack.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Pack]</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-Surface.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Surface]</a> <a href="tags-XS.html" style="font-size: 10px">[XS]</a></span><br /> In an attempt to make pixel access easier on SDL_Surface pixels.

Currently it seems we are lacking in a few areas. We can definitely use some feedback and help in these areas. <br /> Tutorials/Documentation<br /> <br /> We have more docs now on http://sdl.perl.org but they suck <br /> What type of tutorials do you think will be good for beginners? <br /> A project start to finish? <br /> Individual tutorials for various topics? <br /> What needs to go in SDL::CookBook? <br /> <br /> API sweetness <br /> SDL Perl depends on distinct C libraries <br /> This makes naming conventions, data formats different the SDL:: namespaces <br /> How do people design this stuff? <br /> We are hackers and we just go do stuff but I think this needs some prior thought <br /> Any takers? <br /> <br /> Distribution <br /> If SDL scripts can be packaged up simply for game developers to distribute their games it will be a big plus <br /> One way is a Wx::Perl::Packer clone <br /> Another is a CPAN/Steam clone that game devs can upload games too and people can point and click download games? <br /> If anyone wants to help in these areas please talk to us on sdl-devel@perl.org. <br /> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/9LDtns437JWMVWJoUGIR6gCE1W0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/9LDtns437JWMVWJoUGIR6gCE1W0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"> <br /><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/9LDtns437JWMVWJoUGIR6gCE1W0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/9LDtns437JWMVWJoUGIR6gCE1W0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/YetAnotherPerlGameHackeryapgh/~4/EXlozhjfhdo" height="1" width="1"/><br /><a href="blog-0005.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0006.html">Games::FrozenBubble: It is a start!</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Monday, 12 April 2010</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags: <a href="tags-Frozen-Bubble.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Frozen Bubble]</a> <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a></span><br />We released a playable (client) frozen bubble on CPAN .
