Scott Walters will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:

Many Perl programmers, given a free weekend, can’t think of anything more fun than playing with computer graphics.  This talk shows off a number of my own adventures as well as hacks by other members of the Perl community.

I’ll talk about:

• Opening that window or going full screen
• Reading from the keyboard and mouse
• Getting stuff onto the screen
• Animation
• Gravity and velocity
• Collision detection
• Simple enemies (finite state automata)
• Geometry for games

Seeing several examples of Perl SDL and how they were written should educate and inspire you to dabble with your own ideas.
