GFX with SDL

I've had some request for graphics tutorials with C/C++. So I started this tutorial series. We will be using SDL as the main GFX library here. I will assume that you have a good knowledege of C/C++. If you need to freshen up on the C/C++ part, try reading the Grounds Up! tutorials.

If you can't find something here, try searching the SDL website.
