Sol's Graphics for Beginners Part A - Graphics by the Pixel 00 - Introduction 01 - Setting Up SDL 02 - SDL Skeleton and Putting Pixels 03 - What Little Sprites Are Made Of 04 - Let it Snow 05 - Blending a Bit 06 - Primitives and Clipping Part B - Another Ballgame Part C - Couple More Effects Part D - The Other 90%, Part 1 Appendices 01 - Setting Up SDL with Mac OS X (other platforms) Install both the SDL runtime and the SDL development libraries. Start XCode, and create a new project (file->new project). Select "SDL Application" under the "Application" folder. Click next. Name the project "gp", and rename the directory to ~/ch01/ and click finish. Let XCode create the directory for you. Click on main.c and delete it (edit->delete), and delete both references and files when prompted. Control-click on the project name (under "groups and files") and select Add->new file. Select 'empty file', click next. Name the file main.cpp and click finish. After that, you are ready for 02 - SDL Skeleton and Putting Pixels.. (Note: if you're new to the Mac OS X platform, you may also wish to read the Appendix A - Releasing on OS X at some point. Don't do it now though - move on to the fun bits first!) Having problems? Try the forums! Any comments etc. can be emailed to me.
