+<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 />
-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 />
+<i>--yapgh</i><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 />
+<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 />
-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 />
+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 />
-More information on the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a>. <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 />
 <br />
-Also a shout out to FROGGS for his new SON!!!.  Congrats buddy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6642671796628033537?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
