Before I dig into the updates, I would like to acknowledge them.<br /><h3>Core Development</h3><b>Acme (<a href="http://use.perl.org/%7Eacme/journal/">Leon Brocard</a>):</b> Has started to work on the Redesign Effort with me. The help is much appreciated! Enjoy your vacation. <br /><br /><h3>Website and Windows Testing</h3><b>FROGGS (Tobias Leich):</b> Came in as a new user to SDL Perl. And after breaking the redesigned SDL Perl in as many ways possible he has decided to help out on the new site. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Last Legacy Release</h3><br />Ok! Now this weekend hopefully we will release our last legacy release, after this we move on! This release will focus on showing of SDL + Perl possibilities.<br /><h3>Pong + SDL::Game::Rect</h3><a href="http://onionstand.blogspot.com/">garu</a> has been working on making SDL object extensions that provide a more perly way to use and play with the SDL bindings. To demonstrate the benefits of this SDL::Tutorial::Pong is done and being polished up. SDL::Game::Rect is a peek in to the design and vision we have for SDL down the road.<br /><h3>Design</h3>The design we have settled on for future release for SDL Perl can be broken in to two layers, SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. Previously the SDL Perl library tried to provide C bindings and provide Perl Idiomatic access. This was messy in regards to the single responsibility principle (do one thing and do it well).<br /><br />We have decided to separate these two focuses into the two name spaces SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. SDL::* will provide straight access to SDL's C API, nothing less and nothing more. SDL::Game::* will extend and make pretty unicorns for Perl. <br /><br />This design has already begin to pay of. One major benefit been in the XS <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/20f544ea4f3e7b34c68445aba89ed9c69d411ddf">readability</a>. Moreover since structs are treated as objects, Perl manages their destruction, and deliver less memory leaks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4327446497206876141?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+Alright, boys and girls, it's the moment you've been waiting for all week: The <a href="http://yapgh.blogspot.com/2011/02/sdl-perl-game-contest.html">SDL Perl Game Contest</a> weekly showdown. Round. Three. FIGHT!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/FROGGS/Games-BubbleBreaker">Bubble Breaker</a>, by Tobias Leich (FROGGS)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lpJ7UvcmYtg/TYlU0EdT4OI/AAAAAAAAALo/myIcl1rFB80/s1600/bubblebreaker.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 176px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lpJ7UvcmYtg/TYlU0EdT4OI/AAAAAAAAALo/myIcl1rFB80/s400/bubblebreaker.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587090066256421090" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our german battletoad presents us with another masterpiece. Bubble Breaker is a highly addictive puzzle game where you try to eliminate the largest number of balls by matching groups of two or more balls with the same color.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/jtpalmer/sdl-contest/tree/master/week3">Puzzle Cars</a>, by JT Palmer (jtpalmer)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSUtBmvcTZk/TYlU-c9-trI/AAAAAAAAALw/5r5cue5yH5M/s1600/puzzlecars.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSUtBmvcTZk/TYlU-c9-trI/AAAAAAAAALw/5r5cue5yH5M/s400/puzzlecars.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587090244634588850" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Speaking of puzzles, JT did a really nice job in his latest addition to the Contest. Puzzle Cars is a game where you must click the arrows to redirect the (sometimes intense!) traffic to their appropriate destinations, according to car colour. It's an easy concept, but can prove very challenging, and soon enough you'll find yourself storming rapidly between arrows to achieve as many points as possible!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/kthakore/SDL_Contest/tree/master/third">Crossfire</a>, by Kartik Thakore (kthakore)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XYvgmrbcZk8/TYpRYSJI9nI/AAAAAAAAAMI/jE4SqQ2NghU/s1600/crossfire.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 324px; height: 336px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XYvgmrbcZk8/TYpRYSJI9nI/AAAAAAAAAMI/jE4SqQ2NghU/s400/crossfire.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587367765335406194" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This was a really busy week for Kartik, and he had to spend much of his free time updating branches of the <a href="http://sdl.perl.org/">SDL Perl</a> project and moving around, so he wasn't able to finish his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfire_%28video_game%29">Crossfire</a> clone just yet. But so far it's looking really sharp, and we are anxious to see what he'll make of it next week!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/garu/Games-SavingSue">Saving Sue</a>, by... me (garu)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDaDYMCSPKQ/TYlYKsV9PvI/AAAAAAAAAL4/lleg_w0lrT0/s1600/savingsue1.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDaDYMCSPKQ/TYlYKsV9PvI/AAAAAAAAAL4/lleg_w0lrT0/s400/savingsue1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587093753455001330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JL5nYcp7gc0/TYlYZuuWKgI/AAAAAAAAAMA/4Uj1rZejZb0/s1600/savingsue2.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JL5nYcp7gc0/TYlYZuuWKgI/AAAAAAAAAMA/4Uj1rZejZb0/s400/savingsue2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587094011792206338" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I wrote this <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Frogger">Frogger</a> clone as a birthday present for a <a href="http://twitter.com/_Susanas_">good friend of mine</a> that has the terrible habit of crossing the street without looking. I think the game turned out pretty cool and features some nice graphics, music and sound effects. In fact, my friend liked it so much she even recorded the audio samples!<br /><br /><br />As contestants dive into the last week of the SDL Perl Game Contest, I get even more excited to see what they'll come up with. Will there be new additions? Which games will be used as inspiration? Which will be original? Where *is* that Carmen Sandiego chick after all?! That and much more in our next - and last! - roundup of games!<br /><br />See you next week =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-5795615722345579496?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
