Writing 2D Games in C using SDL by Thomas Lively

Thanks, man! Really really helpful introduction to SDL!

If you're on macOS and your window doesn't seem to be popping up (as it was not for me), it's because you need to poll for events. It seems that on the creation of the window there are a few events that are queued before the window appear event. So try something like this:

SDL_Event event;
bool isRunning = true;

while (isRunning) {
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
isRunning = false;
}
}
}

instead of using the delay method. Hope this helps!

This is for when C++ just doesn't bring enough tears and pain

I spend some time looking for lerning materal for game development wit C. I did not find annything useful. If i found something SDL based it was about C++ and not C. So is it just my personal preference which language i choose at the énd ? what are the benefits of using pure C insead of C++ with SDL ?

great presentation mate, nice intro this crazy hell

When I run this it just says not responding and the window never appears, there is no error though, and it waits 5 seconds and then quits. (I am on mac)

and how configure SDL to Visual Studio 2010?

thanks man its really helpful 😍❤❤

Most SDL demo video I find on the youtube is C++ in Windows, and thank you for making a demo in C and Linux.

But where is the game dude?
I have an example. This rpg has been made with allegro and sdl.
You can switch between them.

Thank you, Dr. Chase, that was very helpful.

Awesome presentation! I am new to SDL 2 programming and loved it. Thank you!

Loved this video

So I'm planning to make a small platformer for my Data Structure class, this tutorial helped me A LOT to understand and begin the development.
Next step, reading the documentation!

Is this useful for windows compiles?

Hey thanks guy. I've been using lazy foo's tutorial to get farmiliar with sdl, but I think I'll start using the wiki now.

awesome

This has rendered great help and allowed me to surface above a lot of troubles, thank you. Deserves better applause at the end.

Undefined reference to SDL_INIT . why? I installed sdl just like in the tutorial?

when I try to run the make file I get this error :
clang : not found
recipe for target (blabla) failed

Please help me, I am stuck at when I type make. It came up with this: make: * No rule to make target 'hello_window.o', needed by 'game'. Stop.

Awesome
