Hello everybody,

a few month ago I bought the great book “Programming Linux Games” from John R.
Hall / Loki. I read it severall times just as a “book”, followed now the mailing
list for some weeks and today I started to learn using SDL ( I am also a rookie
in programming C, but I am good in TI Extended Basic ( for the TI99/4A - still
running it :wink: ) in real. My first - not yet playable - SDL programm: a Pong
clone ( just to learn the basics and because it was my first “game” in 1982 on
my TI).

It is a great fun !

Thanks to Sam Lantinga and all the contributors for SDL.

Bye,

It’s nice to see people follow the correct path of linux as an OS and C
as a programming language. Once you master C you will hate Basic for
sure. One this happens you should try the OpenGL with SDL tutorials.
There’s a link on the homepage on the left bar I think.On Fri, 2002-05-03 at 22:20, Carsten Ziepke wrote:
