SDL Tutorials and Documentation

PnP Bios · 2004-07-11T15:26:24

I have read the cone3d tutorials, and the API documentation, and the other various tutorials available on Gamedev. I have learned much from them, but they seem to... lack something. I don't know. The library is fairly self explanitory, but still. I mean, there is NOTHING on the multithreading capabilities, SDL_Net looks great, but again, there is NOTHING! Now, I got alot of spare time on my hands, and I have been using SDL since I got fedup with DirectX. I would be happy to do some tutorials on advanced topics, if someone would tell me what they wanted to know. I'm not a guru, i don't even know how to use the sound system, but I have a good writing style and I can pick up something new fairly quick. I think some good ideas for advanced tutorials would be again, the threading, sound, surface creation and deletion, setting up openGL, an indepth explination of the messaging system, and so on. If I write a good one, perhaps they could be hosted here? Just some ideas, SDL is a great API that would be taken alot more seriously if it had some better documentation and tutorials. You don't need DirectX to make a professional game.

I'm not sure if this thread is still alive, but I'm running my own server, using free DNS hosting. I'b be happy to hand out some FTP accounts, and maybe even write some noobish SDL tutorials of my own.

Check out my site, it supports PHP and MYSQL right now, adding more would be a breeze
