Talk:SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)

Book Rename
You should definitely consider renaming the work. To something line Using SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) or Exploring SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 22:06, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

How do I go about renaming the wikibook? I have searched the help pages and only found username rename. Thanks.

 * Use page move do not include the "(Simple DirectMedia Layer)" you can add that to the title later (see the title as a file/directory name). I had a similar problem with the The World of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) I later regretted the name choice but there were already too many subpages.
 * You can provide the root/cover page the full text using . For instance the first page may use Simple DirectMedia Layer and the rest SDL. (See the source of the p2p book for usage if you have a problem)
 * This means that if you use something like "Exploring SLD" you can still make the title page read "Explore the Simple DirectMedia Layer" or variations, subpages will still use the Exploring SLD/Page Name path the reverse would imply using the longer file path name...
 * In any case it it your choice. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:10, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Book revision
While this wikibook is far from complete and hasn't been updated in a while, I am currently devising a revision of this tutorial to include the latest SDL release (SDL 2.0.3 as of this edit). The differences between 1.2 and 2 are significant enough to require a overhaul of this book. More to come as time permits.

We should plan the book in this discussion first. I suggest we follow Lazyfoo's tutorial as a guideline and structure the page like C++ Programming, instead of using deci-stages we'll use quart stages. We can start by filling this chapters list in. --- Aumars (discuss • contribs) 21:07, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
