As you know I have received a TPF grant to write a SDL Perl Manual.
I have been a bit busy with that and not been able to update my blog. Anyway here are some of the back dated Grant Updates. These updates where also posted on REPORT 1: Sept 20101st drafts Preface
Chapter 2: First SDL Application
Started work on Chapter 3: Drawing
Outlines for the first 7 chapters have been completed
Book build framework has been setup
Released SDL 2.514 (2.515 will be released on 16th of September) This code is the one that will be used in the book for chapter 02
Got more of the Drawing chapter done (It will be done by the end of the week)
Added several more code examples for other chapters
Progress: 2.75 chapters / 11 chapters = approx 25%
Kartik's work can be followed at:
REPORT 2: October 2010Since last time:We have released SDL 2.518 Game Loop support completed
Chapters:2nd Drafts for: Preface to Game Loop ( Chapter 0 - Chapter 04)
Chapters completed: 5/11 => 45%
Extra:cfedde has made a script to extract code listings for readers to try examples with out having to retype them.
Coments:I am receiving a lot more help from the community, most notable from cfedde for proofreading.
I will be fleshing out the next 6 chapters shortly and work will begin on them soon
I am pleased with the progress so far, and I feel the quality is improving due to the pacing.
