Simpler Game Example

[quantumproducer]

The bullet example is impressive but it is difficult to read through the code.
A simpler game example would be

Display a shape on screen
Keyboard to move that shape

And that's it.

Well neither examples have input and I'm not sure I added the functions for that yet, but yes you are correct. :-)

@essen it's an awesome project and I hope you keep working on it! I would like to help but this low level stuff is out of my depth (for now)

[essen]

I will soon, I want to experiment with short games for my 1 year old.

Cool! Lucky kid to learn Erlang so early, good work :)

Keyboard integration is the biggest feature for this. With keyboard + screen, you can play a game!

@essen I take input from std_in and display output to the shell here: https://github.com/QuantumProductions/exhume , maybe this cn be applied collecting input in a second thread

SDL2 has input functions, they just need to be implemented. I'll get around to it in a few weeks when I get time off.

@essen , https://code.google.com/archive/p/erlworld/ has working mouse input examples. The keyboard example took input but on my machine it was very laggy (kept freezing). Could be a good place to start though.

@essen Pong : Mouse, Blastox: keyboard (Both from Erlworld)

Interesting, thanks. I'll just have to find the time... :-(
