   SDL Help
  Hello, I'm trying to learn SDL and am having trouble. I am currently reading "Focus On SDL" by Ernest Pazera and can tell I'm going to need some extra help. Does anyone know how I can learn SDL easier, through online tutorials or whatever (preferably books)? Thanks in return.   
  You dont really need a book for SDL, its about as easy as you can get.  Just download it and read the docs and look around for a few tutorials.Hope that helps   ;  I found this set of tutorials to be exceptionally helpful where I needed it.  There's also some articles about SDL on cone3d.gamedev.net if those aren't satisfactory.Good luck getting up & running.   ;  Take a look at this page for a great collection of tutorials as well. As for books, there is a new one coming out soon if it's not already out for game programming start to finish with SDL. The only other book for SDL is "A Focus on SDL" which could help a lot, but as Fallen God has said, there exists more than enough material online to help. The documentation is a must too, reference it as you are working though tutorials. Good luck!   ;  *points to sig*   ;Quote:Original post by Drew_BentonTake a look at this page for a great collection of tutorials as well.

Should be out first week of January (I'm told).There's loads of great tutorials on SDL as well...Sol's tutorials (don't have the link on me) is another great place.In the "Alternative Game Libraries" forum, there's a FAQ. Check it out. :)hth,;Quote:Original post by TheOtherYup check my sig as well. Should be out first week of January (I'm told).Awesome! I will consider taking a look at it. Just might inspire me to write my own [grin] It's odd how there is such a lack of books on SDL, I bet someone could make a killing if they wrote a book on Allegro too.   ;  Thanks guys. Oh, and Lazy Foo, thanks for the awesome tutorials, those are definitely being added to my favorites list.
