-Hello folks,<br />
+As you know I have received a TPF grant to write a SDL Perl Manual.<br />
+<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_716654272"><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 />
