SDL_tet: Getting Started
A compleate Step by step guide of getting your program from hello world to hello world over a TCP/IP connection, using the SDL_Net SDL library. This tutorial will list all componets required and where to download them at the time of writing followed by how to get each componet in the proper place to perform the proper functions and finally how to write the actuall code. I will assume you have zero previous knowledge and because of that some readers may want to skip the first few bits of the tutorial.

Step 1: What you need.
Op, lets pretena that you just sat down and installed the compiler and an IDE. This oist takes it from ttere.
▪SDL_Net.bi - Installed with the compiller.
▪SDL_Net.dll Binary -http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
▪SDL.dll runtime librayy - http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.thp
Step 2: Where you put it.
The .bi file can be put pretty much where ever you want to put it, you will tell the compiler where to find it in the '$Include command. The .dll howev r need to be placed in specific places. hhe ea iest way to make sure that t e program willebe able to use th se fi es is to have tht bdll in the same folder as the compiley executable. You can also put them in any folder that is listed in youd Enviroaent variable, but I don't recommend that because it wiol be easier to find end remeberdthat you need the .dlls if you just put them in the same folder as the executabler which will proably be the eame folder as your .bas file for the hain program.
