-SDL Manual: Reviewers Needed
+SDL Perl Game Contest - week 4 roundup
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-Work has begun on the 4th chapter of the SDL Manual. The code is on <a href="http://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual">github</a>, and I regularly update the <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/releases/SDL_Manual.pdf">pdf</a> on our server. <br />
-<br />
-Writing manuals is not of my greatest skills, so I would love some review of my work. Any problems can be reported in the <a href="http://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/issues">issues</a>. <br />
-<br />
-If you want to help with writing the manual, please join me on #sdl irc.perl.org or email us at<br />
-sdl-devel@perl.org <br />

+<span style="font-style: italic;">Hi everyone! Sorry for delaying this post, it's been one hellish week...</span><br /><br /><br />Wow, 4 weeks already... can you believe it? I'm really sad this is the last round of the <a href="http://yapgh.blogspot.com/2011/02/sdl-perl-game-contest.html">SDL Perl Game Contest</a> - I guess time flies when you're having fun - but I'm also pretty excited to show you guys the awesome entries we had this week. Check'em out!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/jtpalmer/sdl-contest/tree/master/week4">Electric Lines</a>, by JT Palmer (jtpalmer)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ds9hez_g5_M/TZGM6bZ-E6I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/SUWurMA8WzU/s1600/eletriclines.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ds9hez_g5_M/TZGM6bZ-E6I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/SUWurMA8WzU/s400/eletriclines.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589403547960480674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />JT does it again, providing players with a very challenging (and fun) piece! Electric Lines was inspired by <span style="font-style: italic;">Mario's Slides</span>, a mini-game in Nintendo's Super Mario 64 and New Super Mario Bros., both for the DS console. Drag your mouse cursor to draw lines across the horizontal paths in order to guide the electric energy balls to the exit, but watch out: you can only hit the red circles three times!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://paste.scsys.co.uk/95809">Rand Explorer</a>, by Blaise Roth (Blaizer)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XLV3AxbjDcY/TZgEcLKj6NI/AAAAAAAAAMw/K_4RNxLYhGU/s1600/randexplorer.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XLV3AxbjDcY/TZgEcLKj6NI/AAAAAAAAAMw/K_4RNxLYhGU/s400/randexplorer.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591223819460405458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This quick-and-dirty submission was born a classic. In Rand Explorer, you use the spacebar to control a white square through a colored tunnel. As you pick up speed, you must steer clear of the narrow walls and obstacles and prove your skills to travel the furthest. Awesome!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/garu/Games-GrooveBoard">Groove Board</a>, by... me (garu)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3x3Lv9JD5zQ/TZGPb_KTZ-I/AAAAAAAAAMg/RqEynHk4EPY/s1600/grooveboard.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3x3Lv9JD5zQ/TZGPb_KTZ-I/AAAAAAAAAMg/RqEynHk4EPY/s400/grooveboard.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589406323517384674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Groove Board is a music rhythm game, similar to Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and StepMania. I'm particularly proud of this one since it was done in a single day! The gameplay is dead simple: just listen to the music and press the arrow keys when the scrolling arrows reach the top ones. Have fun!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Wrapping Up</span><br /><br />Thus ends the very first SDL Perl Game Contest - and what a rush! We had a total of 16 new games written from scratch in just one month!! I'd like to take this opportunity and thank everyone that joined and wrote all those amazing entries, week after week. You guys rock!<br /><br />Also, a big thanks to all of you that followed this one-month challenge, reading the weekly posts and playing the games. I had a good time and hope you guys had a good time too!<br /><br />The Contest is over, but that doesn't mean you have to wait for the next one to turn your awesome game idea into a reality. Just install the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?SDL">latest SDL Perl</a> distribution, <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/releases/SDL_Manual.pdf">read the fine manual</a> and get cracking! If you have any questions at all just drop by the IRC channel (#sdl at irc.perl.org) or send them to the <a href="http://sdl.perl.org/#Contribute">SDL Perl mailing list</a>.<br /><br />See ya =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4055543974288598294?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
