• SDL Documentation
• Over the weekend I went through all the Glut alternatives and add-ons and decided that SDL would work the best.
• Spent Sunday and Monday converting the initialization, display, and input functions of our World class from proj2 from GLUT to SDL
• Today
  • Continued SDL conversion and extension
  • Removed "world" code from main file into "eracer.h" and "eracer.cpp" files
  • Took James' InputHandler idea and changed it to "Memento" by:
    • Creating Memento base class
    • Started work on GameMemento class, will make GameMemento and other Mementos to singletons later
    • Added "currentMemento" variable to ERacer class which will hold an instance of the current Memento singleton
  • Worked on polling keyboard input in SDL and handling multiple keys being pressed at the same time, almost done with that
• Before Thursday
  • Finish Memento implementation in ERacer class with GameMemento basic but workable and extendable so we can add items for it to control
  • Develop interface between ERacer class and Mementos
• Future
  • Fine tune SDL use
  • Fully integrate mementos to ERacer class
  • Add WelcomeMemento, PauseMemento, and MenuMemento singleton classes
  • implement proper keyboard polling in each Memento
  • implement proper GL/SDL display in each Memento
