Yes, I am keeping the old tutorial set in the old layout for the sake of having a nostalgic eater egg. It's not because I am too lazy to port this over to the data driven static site generator.

Beginning Game Programming

Last Updated 6/28/14
Welcome to the legacy SDL tutorial page. There is now an SDL 2.0 tutorial page and I recommend visiting that page because this tutorial page is no longer being updated. Plus this new set has over 50 tutorials with brand new topics.

If you are working with SDL 1.2 or are just feeling nostalgic, feel free to look around.
