Today sees the release of a new SDL2 tutorial: SDL2 Gunner, a run and gun game. The inspiration for this tutorial was games such as Turrican 2 and Contra, where the player would battle against dozens of enemies, while unreleashing a torrent of fire power. In this tutorial, you'll learn about exploring a wide map, directional shooting, line of sight, and all kinds of other things.

The tutorial consists of 15 parts (yep, it's a big one!) and can be found on the tutorials page, or by following the link below:
