Virus Killer and Metal Blob Solid updates

SDL Development

Hi All :slight_smile:

How you doing?

I’ve just updated my site with new versions of Virus Killer and Metal Blob
Solid. I’ve not done any updates / C programming for about two months now, so
if there are bugs, errors and thing missing, please bear with me! hehe :slight_smile:

I’m looking for Windows, BeOS, Mac, QNX, etc ports for these two, so if you’re
able to please have a go and let me know.

Cheers,

Steve :)–

SDL_ttf is actually very easy to install on a win32 machine.

Just copy the header files into the SDL\include folder, and the
SDL_ttf.lib into the SDL\lib folder. Then put the SDL_ttf.dll into your
project’s folder.
After that, you just link into the .lib and include the headers as
normal and it should work fine. I didn’t have to install anything extra
to get it to work.

Don’t you also need freetype ? You can get a win32 installer from here:

I didn’t have to install freetype to get SDL_ttf to work. Of course,
your OS could be different from what I’m running (WinXP Pro SP1), which
could affect whether you’d need freetype. I assume it couldn’t hurt to
install it anyway. shrug

I compiled it for Windows, I will contact you by email when I got an
installer ready. Still needs some finetuning like no hardcoded /tmp/
directory on Windows etc…

Nope.
I’m using SDL_ttf and I don’t have freetype installed on my machine.
Try creating a small SDL & SDL_ttf application and print a string onto
the screen. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to whip up.
