-<div style="text-align: left;">There has been some interest in making Frozen Bubble cross platform so I have forked Frozen Bubble v2.0 to my github<a href="http://github.com/kthakore/frozen-bubble/tree/master"> repo</a>. Any contributors are welcome! I will eventually be removing hacks that were needed to make Frozen Bubble work with the old SDL perl. The plan is to make Frozen Bubble cross platform by removing platform specific hacks and dependencies. One of the major switch will be from BSD sockets to SDL_net through SDL perl or XS. The main goal would be to be able to do </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">cpan install FrozenBubble</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">To do this the Makefile.PL will need to be rewritten a little bit. Moreover we will need to make test using code from Frozen Bubble so that it can be smoke tested on CPAN. If contributors need more information please contact me.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4948555691607200165?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

+<br />
+So I am preparing a presentation of the new SDL perl for February's Toronto Perl Mongers meeting. What better way to so off SDL perl then with a game? <br />
+<br />
+I started hacking a small point an click game a few days back. I really didn't have a idea in mind, but I did have a goal. I wanted to make a game that shows the basics of a game in SDL. Drawing to screen, game loops, physics and so on. I think I have accomplished it so far. <br />
+<br />
+Take a look at it <a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">here</a>. Download that and call it<a alt="Click the balls to win" href="http://gist.github.com/301949">[Shooter.pl]</a>. To win click the balls.<br />
+<br />
+To play this game you need the following:<br />
+<br />
+<ul><li> <b>Only for Linux)</b> sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libsdl_gfx-dev </li>
+<li> cpan Alien::SDL </li>
+<li> Click Download Source http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign </li>
+<li> Extract it </li>
+<li> perl Build.PL; perl Build; perl Build install </li>
+<li> perl Shooter.pl </li>
+</ul><br />
+I will put up binaries soon-ish.<br />
+<br />
+It is a playable (albeit hard) game right now. All 7 seven levels of it. The purpose of the game is simple click the balls to win. Sounds easy but it isn't. You also get a time in milliseconds after each level. Share your scores on here! I will leave it up to you guys to be honest. <br />
+<br />
+I do have to tidy it up and right documentation for it. This way I will be able to present it clearly to my fellow mongers. I am also still looking for ideas to make this a more polished game. FROGGS recommend I make it a classic NES duck hunt game. I thought since I am using gravity I could do a UFO game out of it where you shoot the UFOs. I am open to your ideas.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-1585061047069454098?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
