Re: 2D realtime pixel graphics options in Perl

Have you tried SDL::OpenGL? I've had some success with it.

Alternately, SDL Parrot's coming along. It's pretty simple at the moment, but you'd have the chance to blaze a trail.

Hmm, I think you may have pointed me there before (I was asking about RedHat OpenGL.pm compilation at the time)...I think I could find any examples on how to initialize the OpenGL context (no Hello OpenGL demos in the POD) and must have stopped. Re: Parrot, etc, I doubt that's what I want for my "quick playing with graphics fun stuff", though I'd definitely like to see it. Where would I go about finding the SDL parrot code? I really need to check out Parrot source at some point or another, might as well be now.	[reply]

Parrot SDL lives in the main Parrot distribution for now. See `examples/sdl/imc` and `library/sdl`. The rest of the SDL Perl folks also want to see better graphics primitives. A sprite library would be nice -- there are some ideas toward that end in the tutorials.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
