ASFML VS awesome-ada

Unfortunately, Ada is not used for professional game development, but it will probably help a single developer to develop a bug-free game more than C++. For a 2D game, one good option as toolkit is the binding to SFML.

Have you followed the instructions in ASFML to make it work? The easiest way is to import the library using Alire.

I resurrected an abandoned binding to SFML and updated it to version 2.5. I finally made so many changes to the Ada API, that I can consider it my own work, and have the joy to see it used by other people.

A new bugfix release of ASFML: https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML/releases/tag/v2.5.2

Since we're talking about a game, ASFML might be a good option.

The Ada binding to the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library has released a new version compatible with SFML v2.5.

At the moment we have * Reddit, a news aggregator, Awesome Ada link list, and they work good too. (Thank involved people for this!) * Organization/company based sites, and they work good (e.g. adaic.org, ada-auth.org, sigada.org, adacore.com) * Chats, comp.lang.ada "news group" * Wiki books * Ada Programming (Is it updated?) * Ada Style Guide (It looks like to be never updated since uploading) * person-driven sites are often biassed, become outdated and abandoned * For example, adapower.com, getadanow.com, learnadanow.com are not updated (e.g. no Alire mention), have expired SSL certificate and dead links. (Sorry David, it's just for example!). * long(?) list of dead or frozen sites * adahome.com - alive, not updated * adaworld.com - has changed owner * planet.ada.wtf not resolved * ancient Public Ada Library (PAL) gone * per country community is mostly alive * adaspain.org is't responding

I too are partial to the Ada (the person) logos. The modern takes in the awesome-ada site are my favorite. In particular the previous one was very cool: https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada/tree/f0e3df247119dd3730c4bda6cac0e0c3fd93087c

All libraries listed in awesome-ada added to Alire.

In order to find good examples for Ada, I think we should add all our projects to the curated list of awesome Ada resources. OK, it won't be curated if we add everything, but in fact it's far from being crowded. It can be curated later if it overgrows. In my opinion, both these projects (Dashera and Yotroc) ought to be included, and they aren't.

Depends on the libs, see [Awesome Ada][https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada]

If it's not in Alire, second step is looking in the curated list of Ada projects (and then follow README or BUILDING instructions): https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada

There are still many interesting projects in https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada and other sources, which are not indexed by Alire, so there is room for improvement.

In terms of bootstrapping your environment and getting started, I'd recommend looking at Vim-Ada and Awesome Ada. I also tried to write up some practical advice from my experience, which might be helpful.

On Awesome Ada list, you can find examples of Ada usage outside embedded development.
