It can't be done? How do i make a 32bpp bmp?
Edit: You're write, it is 24 bit. maybe i'll create a 24 bit screen...

Lol, i know, but thats not my program, i wrote it here to show you the problem, in my program the pointer is stored in an object of a player class...
Edit:
changed it, lol

Is your .bmp file in the right place? yes, its in the same directory. I made it write to me the SDL_GetError if the surface will be NULL (it wasn't loaded), and it didn't... it was loaded fine... Edit: If i write for example this, it happens: #include "SDL.h" SDL_Surface *screen = NULL; S...

Hi guys, i need your help. i'm beginning with SDL now... I loaded an img using SDL_LoadBMP, and before blitting it to the screen i converted it to the screen->format using SDL_ConvertSurface, But it crashes! it compiles okay, and when i run it through the project folder it runs fine, but when i run ...

So, it can be used to determine the format your program will support?

All my questions were answered, thank you all!

EDIT: i dident realize the link posted by Milch contained all the information... but now when i have used time on writing it, i will let it be here ;) you do need the parameters (int argc, char *argv[]) for linux. Does linux has same file paths as windows? And if it does, what about different type ...

This is for additional arguments for your program. Like the '-console' for Source games to enable console on startup. http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~lucia/courses/2131-05/labs/Lab3/CommandLineArguments.html I'v tried the link you gave, and used the code they wrote there to check what is in the argv ar...

Hi guys, i have a question. Lately i'm starting to learn Sdl more seriously, and now when i practice i'm getting used to adding the (int argc, char* args[]) to the main as parameters. Why do i need these? is it some parameters the operating system needs to send the main function in order to communic...

I tried it, and it works nicely. thank you all for the help!

Hey guys, sorry for the double post. I have an idea, will it work if i'll make that the direction of the ball will be decided by the place it hits the player paddle? like if it'll hits the left, the ball will be thrown to the left or if on the right, to the right etc. ?

I'm working on a pong game, because i'm a total noob... I'm good with math, but i'm learning all the stuff you're talking about this year, so i'm still not totally comfortable with some concepts... Well just stick with it. Ability in maths is an awesomely useful skill, and it only gets better later...

I wrote these functions which will do what you wanted and explained the steps because I'm bored. Don't just copy and paste though, read through, make sure you understand, then try it yourself. It only requires a basic knowledge of simple trigonometry and pythag. Also I didn't try compiling it so th...
