I am posting this to the list in order to better determine the
direction of SDLpl development. I see SDLpl as a useful tool
to quickly mock up larger projects, and as a scripting engine
which can be embedded in SDL applications.
That said, if you are someone who would use perl to write a
game / web browser / etc. Would you be more or less inclined
to write the entire thing in perl:
1.) If you had access to pre-fab rendering engines 2d scroller, 3d flight. etc
2.) If there was an object orient interface (beyond the pure fuctional)
3.) If there was a perl interpreter with SDL built in?
Also on the flip side, would you be more or less inclined to use
perl with another language C/C++ if:
1.) A simplified interface to the perl interpreter was included
2.) If a step by step tutorial on using XS with SDL were available
3.) Perl’s internals stopped sucking, and the Inline::C module
worked far more often?
If you want to look at the current stable release, or the first pre-release
of the SDL 1.2 compliant series visit http://sdlpl.sourceforge.net.
I’d really appreciate the insight of people who use the PyGame package
as well. What features of PyGame are really nice, and should be
available across all languages?–
