Re: increase performance with SDL

I am not sure how well SDL works with .jpeg but when it comes to the file format .jpeg will be the least intense on the CPU. What kind of sprites are these 16-bit? If so I think if you upload it as a jpg it should look fine. I for one have never had a problem loading all of the sprite sheets at the ...

SDL and OpenGL game, what still to use in SDL.

Still programming my "games" in SDL, I want to move onto integrating OpenGL since its apparently so awesome. From my understanding the only thing OpenGL can do is render and can't handle input, correct me if I am wrong. So I am assuming that when you integrate OpenGL with SDL all that you ...

Re: SDL keystates problem.

It returns 0, and I don't know what you mean about adding.

EDIT: I have a temporary fix by using a debounce that is reset by pressing the "G" key, so everytime you want to make a move you have to press "G" but oh well :lol: .

Re: SDL keystates problem.

Odd....it works the first compile, then if I run it again it doesn't do anything but if I delete the line, recompile it, put the line back, then compile again it will work once more. Any ideas?

Re: SDL keystates problem.

Its black jack not a MMORPGFPSRTS, I don't need to make it inline, and yea I probably don't need to use getters and setters but, I am just lazy 8-) Is there a keystate for a release return key? EDIT: btw, for class methods you don't put inline if you already have it on a single line it automatically...

Re: Good Sprite Application

Same problem here, just turn the little toolbar option when you re-size to pixelated , but you probably should use graphics gale its more built for spriting.

Re: Pass a class object as a parameter? (C++/SDL)
