Some more SDL tutorials
Author
I've added some new SDL tutorials to my site. There are the obligatory setup, draw graphics, and handle input tutorials. There's also tutorials on using SDL_ttf for drawing text and SDL_gfx for drawing primitives. You'll find the new tutorials under 2D Game Tutorials.
If you see any errors, please let me know. My email is "aaroncox1234@hotmail.com". Please don't bug me about putting my email on the net like this. If I didn't get spam, I'd never get emails.

One thing with the sdl_ttf. I downloaded the ttf zip for windows from sdl's site and there was only a sdl_ttf.dll file in the zip file I think there should also be a header any idea on this?

You have to DL the development zip:

Sorry about that Grahf750. I took a look at my tutorial and realized it was a bit ambiguous about which file to grab. The tutorial gives the name of the file now.
Hey do you know if it's possible to use SDL_ttf along side SDL_opengl? That would be convenient.

Hey Rob,
Not sure if I'll write a tutorial for SDL_mixer since Joel's already written one. His tutorials are really good so there's not much point in me covering the same things.
I've been on a scripting kick lately with UT2004 and Dawn of War, but when I get back to tutorials I'm probably going to cover some basic game programming stuff and maybe some math. We'll see.
As for Hexed's question, I think you'd run into trouble with that but I'm not sure. I don't have SDL set up at work so I'll have to wait til I get home to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes.
