+<h1><a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorials</a> </h1><br />
+<p>When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended <a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorial</a> to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/examples/sols/ch02.pl">Ch 02</a> code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!<br />
+</p><br />
+<p>To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library </p><br />
+<h1>Getting SDL Dependencies </h1><br />
+Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:<br />
<br />
-<h3>Updates</h3>Ok so my blog posts have gone down a bit due to me using my fingers for coding. We have started to get some updates to SDL docs so that good. Also some of the tutorials are shaping up. This is what I have been hacking this past week.<br />
-<br />
+<pre>$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev </pre><br />
+On Windows we recommend using <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/">Strawberry Perl</a>. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.<br />
<br />
+Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL<br />

+<pre>$ cpan Alien::SDL</pre>** Add sudo to this for Linux<br />
<br />
+<h1>Getting Bleeding SDL </h1><br />
+The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign"> site </a>.<br />
<br />
+Extract it and cd into the folder run <br />
+<pre>$ cpan . </pre>** The dot is needed <br />
+** in Linux you may need to do sudo<br />
<br />
-You can grab the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/TetrisPL">code</a>. Note you will have to install deps yourself. Read the README file. It is not a tutorial yet, because it was hacked together in ~50 hours. But it playable now. During building this I found out that MacOSX (and Snow Leopard) has died again.<br />
+Then you can run this script by doing<br />
<br />
-<h3>Hackfest</h3>So with dngor's help this sunday (27/09/09) we will have a hackfest to fix MacOSX support. Anyone with a MacOSX and wants to help is welcome on <a href="http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=89f140215d60860684cee2f6a917607f&server=irc.perl.org&channel=%23sdl">#sdl irc.perl.org</a>. We will also try to fix up a lot of docs and the tutorial for a early next week release. Also if we can we will migrate to the new site.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-7382145297295717151?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
