############################################################################## OpenGL::Font::2D - load and render 2D fonts with OpenGL DESCRIPTION =========== This package provides you with 2D font support for your OpenGL applications. For some background information, as well reasoning why this was developed and why in this way, browse to: http://bloodgate.com/perl/sdl/game.html See the above URL for examples on how to use this code. The distribution contains an example, this uses SDL::App::FPS as a framework. So you will need SDL::App::FPS for the example, but you could also use this module stand-alone. Prerequisites ============= You need SDL, SDL_image and SDL_perl v1.20.2 to use this. Installation ============ * untar/ungzip the package (replace 0.04 with the version you got) tar -xzf Games-OpenGL-Font-2D-0.04.tar.gz * Check the signature. Download my key from http://bloodgate.com/tels.asc or from my CPAN directory. Then do in the build directory (where you unwrapped stuff): cpansign -v * if the signature verifies OK, proceed. Otherwise NOTIFY ME IMMIDIATELY. Do NOT INSTALL THE PACKAGE! Your system might get compromised! * Build the make file: perl Makefile.PL * Make the project make * Run the tests: make test * If some tests fail, please notify me. * If all tests pass, install as root: su [enter password] make install exit Please send me test-reports, your experiences with this and your ideas - I love to hear about my work!
