Most games are written using SDL But you can do some interesting on the Tk::Canvas and Tk::Zinc (enhanced canvas). See Perl Missile Defense with Radar and PONG with TkZinc The nice thing about SDL, is it handles multichannel sound nicely. See Tk Game Sound demo I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]

There's PerlMUD, which is a mud codebase in Perl. There are plenty of CGI based perl 'games' out there, as well as text-based, and even some GUI ones. You can take a look at the book Games, Diversions and Perl Culture, or just do search on your favorite search engine for 'perl games'.	[reply]

tamaguchi, Had you used the Super Search facility before posting (try searing for 'Perl games' for example) you would have found quite a few nodes on this topic. Martin	[reply]
