. A half page ad will do the trick, but I'll have to spend some time on a few designs then... maybe a collage of Linux games or something like that.

Just be sure to remember the web address.

(Oh you'd think it would be that obvious, but I've see it. lol

, well most of 'em have a place to do so anyway.

Not bad, I'll look forward to reading those.

Are the FPC Team's SDL headers kept up to date often? Some people may opt for the JEDI-SDL headers instead if the FPC ones aren't kept as often as the others are.

I'd love to see some updated OpenGL headers myself... Somewhere I can actually find them too.

Have you looked at the delphigl site for their opengl unit. Also you find a bare bones x windows example for opengl there.

JEDI-SDL has some SDL features thats not included in the FPC release, like SDL_mixer, SDL_image, etc.

Yes and I've found it a few times, but it's so hard to find there and I'm not sure if it's the updated 3.0 ones...

It would be nice to see 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 headers in a collection where I can pick and choose which ones suit my target hardware/system configuration, etc...

Follow this link: http://wiki.delphigl.com/index.php/dglOpenGL.pas/en and you get the latest version. It is backwards compatible with older opengl versions.

Thanks noeska. I'll have to add a link to this in LinuxGD.net

Looks very nice

PS. I was having a read of "Linux Game Development Part 1" and noticed one thing...the links are just plain text and not hyper-links.

Is there anyway to fix this?

cheers,
