Wrapping It Up

Well, that’s it for the first part in this series. Next time I will cover surfaces more in-depth and go over some basic input as well. But until then, if you’d like to do some ClanLibbing, take a look at the documentation and examples that come with ClanLib. The documentation isn’t always up to date (don’t get me wrong, it’s still plenty useful), but the examples are great. If you still have questions about it, subscribe to the ClanLib user mailing list at clanlib-user-subscribe@dark.x.dtu.dk, and once you’ve subscribed, send all your messages to clanlib-user@dark.x.dtu.dk. If you ever have a problem and can’t find the solution to it yourself, this is the first place you should go, as somebody will probably respond to you fairly quickly. In addition to covering surfaces and basic input next time, I will also cover the datafile compiler, a handy tool that lets you compile all your resources (be they sounds, fonts, pictures, or otherwise) into a nice .dat file. If you have any problems compiling the example in this part, feel free to send me an e-mail at CmndrM@i-techuk.net. Until next time, happy ClanLibbing!
