SDL programming HOWTO Writers needed

[Mickeysofine1972]

Hi

You may have noticed that I have placed 2 HOWTOs on using SDL in the programming forums.

Would you like to contribute?

We need HOWTOs on the following:

- some initialization of game type stuff
- input processing, (detecting keys and mouse etc)
- loading file types like images and 3d models
- how to move sprites/characters
- what to do with them when they do something
- animations
- collision detection

Or anything else you can think of.

Some of these topics are quite complex (collision detection comes to mind first). If I have the time I can try and take a stab at writing the collision detection or maybe a simple dynamics/physics tutorial. I won't be able to even consider this until the semester break begins in December though.

Thats fine if you don't manage it I'm sure I or someone else will chip instead

I can write a few of those. If not today while at school, I'll start on a few tonight.

Thats excellent!

Anyone else fancy having a go?

Go on .... you know you want to!
