[Guile-sdl-devel] guile-sdl 0.1.3

[Alex S. <fo...@de...>]

... is up on my site, now including Vikram's SDL_rotozoom, with a test
script and an example implementation of the painter language from
SICP.  Whereas rotozoom is only two functions in a relatively small
distribution, SDL_gfxPrimitives is a bit larger and depends on some
third-party libraries, so I think it should be a separate module.

Not much, but it's now the weekend so I'll have time to get some more
done.  Joel, you should really incorporate this into CVS and give
Vikram and I access so we can all work together.

Things are shaping up, I think the only outstanding issue was the
constants... should they all be numbers, symbols, or mixed numbers and
symbols?  Another option I hadn't mentioned is that they all return
symbols, but accept either numbers or symbols on inputs (and that
would be lists of symbols for flags).

Will check it out today, in the little time I have. Am getting ready to
move to another city to start working from Monday!! I don't think I'll
have trouble getting hold of a computer but I might go missing for a few
days.

MY vote is for mixed symbols and numbers.

OK, I've put up a 0.1.4 release at

  http://eyeofdog.org/foof/code/guile-sdl/

which takes a mixed symbols and numbers approach, and am now using the
same constant names as the original C.  I've also changed the
functions I had returning lists to return alists.  I think those are
all the big issues.  This will need a little clean-up, but once we do
that and fix the autoconf checks, and verify that everything works for
everyone (make check after building), we should make this the public
version.  Oh, and add a lot of documentation :)
