Hi! I've been dabbling with SDL for a few months, and as I think that the lack of an easy way to code cool games is one of the reasons we don't get much fresh Perl blood, I've set out to write a small game during YAPC. Reading about Kartiks efforts to make SDL installable also motivated me.
Anyways, I've coded up a small and still rather stupid Space Invaders game, which you can for now only get via github: http://github.com/domm/Game-PerlInvaders I guess I did a lot of stupid beginners mistakes, especially regarding the event handling. Patches (and RTFMs!) welcome :-) I'll eventually make the game a bit more interesting and also put it on CPAN, after I've added some missing dist stuff (LICENSE etc) and actually make the assets (for now in 'stuff/' installable (which I know how to do, just haven't cared about yet)) My long-term goal is to work on some gaming labrary that should make it easy to write new games (cf 'pygames'), but I'll definitly have no 'round tuits' in the next few months (big deadline..) Anyway, thanks for SDL! -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
