A simple CSS multi-level drop-down menu implementation with no JavaScript

It is possible of course. It is always said. And this is the best kind of drop-down menu. Why? No reliance upon Javascript.

This is asked like a million times in so many different places. So I figured I would test myself and give my solution.

I am a huge fan of giving self-assessments. And you should be too. I did this without referencing anything and the only tools were Kate (my text editor), Firefox (obviously you need to see what you are working on), and Firebug. This should take any good CSS and HTML so-called 'expert' less than 20 minutes.

Using SDL_image and SDL_ttf with OpenGL

Hope this helps somebody out there.

Convert CSS/HTML Hex Colour to SDL_Color type

It may be useful to use what web developers are pretty used to for colours. Parsing to rid of the # character for parsing not included.

This function takes a value like 0xffffff then returns an SDL_Color type. This is designed for use with SDL and OpenGL, so if you call SDL_GL_SwapBuffers() in your graphics loop function, then this function is likely for you. In SDL, OpenGL space is represented in BGR rather than RGB.

Save time and burn that ISO without unRAR'ing it first

It is annoying sometimes you download some ISOs and they come in RARs but this is just how it is for now. Nowadays I have a quad-core system that really doesn't take much time to extract even a dual-layer ISO out of maximum compressed RAR set, but I still use this script to burn. You can disable skipping SFV checking, etc, but I would not recommend that as wodim does not care if unrar returns an error. It will burn erroneous data from that point on.

The whole point is that you are piping what unrar gives to stdout to wodim's stdin.

A shell command would be similar to the following:
