So the new tutorial set is almost done with the alpha phase of development. I'm slightly behind schedule but I should be able to catch up in time for the public beta test.
Sign ups for the public beta test will happen some time in late May, and no later than May 31st. Keep checking back here until I have a more concrete day.
Also, no sign ups will take place before it's announced here. So please stop e-mailing me.

Managed to squeeze in some time and update the set up tutorials for the 32/64bit libraries from the new versions of SDL.

Ok everybody, progress on the new tutorial set went smoothly over my winter break. I managed to get 27 out of 38 planned tutorials done. I'm going to wait until all 38 tutorials + a new article are finished before posting them all. That's going to be a while because my semester started this week and I'm already having to spend my weekend doing catch up.
But, I am going to need beta testers for Windows, Linux and Mac before they're published. I'll post more information on how to become a tester on April 2nd. You will need to basic handle on linear algebra to participate. No fancy eigenvector stuff, just matrix/matrix multiplication and matrix/vector multiplication. The tutorials are very beginner oriented so things won't get too involved.
Oh, and the fastest way to not become a tester is to bug me about it before April 2nd =)

Just posted a note for the Windows set up tutorial. When setting the library directory in visual studio, the library directory needs to point to either the x86 or the x64 directory inside of the lib folder.
I'll revise the tutorials when I'm not inundated in work.

Another year, another tedious round of updating copyright notices on dozens of source files.
Just to let everybody know, I'm doing more than just updating copyright notices. I'm planning on launching a new tutorial set. I know I've said that before, but this time I'm well underway and I've already got most of the sample source code already compiling and running. I'll have more information to share January 28th. I'm aiming for it be out in time for your summer projects and I look forward to the launch.
However, I do not look forward to updating copyright notices on twice as many tutorials next year.
