SDL_Color Problem :)

[RandomDever]

Code:

Code: Select all

SDL_Color textColor {255, 255, 255};

Error:
'textColor' : looks like a function definition, but there is no parameter list; skipping apparent body

I believe it should be

Code: Select all

SDL_Color textColor (255, 255, 255);

What exactly are you trying to do?

I dont think you can even use a constructor for SDL_Color. It is simply this struct;

Code: Select all

typedef struct{
  Uint8 r;
  Uint8 g;
  Uint8 b;
  Uint8 unused;
} SDL_Color;

I believe it should be

Code: Select all

SDL_Color textColor (255, 255, 255);

That's what I thought at first but it gives me a too many initizlizations error so i guess not

Hmmm, then im not sure what to suggest mate, ive never used SDL but im sure someone will be along soon who can fix your problem.

EDIT: Cant you use

Code: Select all

SDL_Color textColour = {255, 255, 255};

All I want to do is render some text like this:
message = TTF_RenderText_Solid(georgia, "message XD", textColor);
SDL_Flip....
Etc.

Well you could always do this

Code: Select all

SDL_Color somecolor;
somecolor.r = 255;
somecolor.g = 255;
somecolor.b = 255;

[short]

Code: Select all

SDL_Color textColor = {255,255,255};
	message = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, "message XD", textColor);

where

Code: Select all

TTF_Font *font = NULL; // font is initialized a little later, but you get the idea 

This code compiles fine for me.

SDL_Color textColor (255, 255, 255);
