Common Lisp SDL2 tutorials

Adapted from http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/

Installing the SDL2 Libraries

The tutorial requires that SDL2, SDL2 Image, and SDL2 TTF are installed before running the examples.

See instructions for Linux and macOS respectively.

Installation

Using quicklisp:

git clone https://github.com/TatriX/cl-sdl2-tutorial/ ~/quicklisp/local-projects

(ql:quickload :sdl2-tutorial)

or asdf

git clone https://github.com/TatriX/cl-sdl2-tutorial/ ~/common-lisp

(asdf:load-system "sdl2-tutorial")

Running the Examples

Tutorial packages are named as sdl2-tutorial-XX-DESC where XX is a number starting from 01.

(sdl2-tutorial-01-hello-sdl:run)
;;
(sdl2-tutorial-04-key-presses:run)

Notes

As far as I can tell cl-sdl2 in most cases doesn't free created objects. This means it's up to a user to do so. I've tried to free allocated resources, but as with any manual memory management I could miss something. If you notice anything, please create an issue or even send a PR!
