A new game tutorial using SDL2 is available! This one teaches the reader how to create a simple turn-based strategy game. In the game, the player will be charged with commanding a trio of wizards, as they set out to clear a small maze of a bunch of pesky ghosts.

This tutorial is made up of 24 parts, and guides the reader through controlling their units, handling the AI's turn, map generation, and more. It can be found on the tutorials page, or by following the link below:

The tutorial source code is also available to purchase from itch.io, from the following page:

Binary downloads (for x86 Linux and Windows) for the game itself can also be found on itch.io at the following page:

Note: the source code for this tutorial is using cmake for its build system. This is to try and keep the build platform agnostic. The plan is to update all the tutorials to use cmake, unless this causes a major headache for readers (the intension is to actually make things easier..!)
