SDL App States
In this muchly desired side tutorial we are going to look at how to implement something most commonly called Game States (or as I call them, App States). This tutorial will be based upon the code from the SDL Collision Events tutorial.
To simply explain what an app state is, try to think of your game (or application) as a parent with many child applications. In other words, your primary application can yield control to a single child when needed.

Text is an important part of almost all games. From informing the player of the awesome combo that they just got, to menu titles, button captions and epic storylines. In this tutorial, we will take a look at SDL_ttf, an addon library for SDL that uses the
FreeType library to load fonts and render text.

SDL Per Pixel Collision
Are bounding box and circle collisions just not cutting it? Well, now we're going to dive right down into pixel precision!
Before we start, I'd like to say that this is an advanced SDL tutorial. You should have experience with creating SDL applications and some basic knowledge of getting a program with it's libraries up and running.
First, we'll start off with a very simple Game class to build the foundation of our demo project.
