Re: New to SDL

Well, by doing the following ...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
...
background = load_image("background.bmp");
 
if(background == NULL)
{
    // load_image() failed ...
    cout << "load_image() failed, error: " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
}
 
apply_surface(100, 100, message, screen);
...
...
background = load_image("background.bmp");

if(background == NULL)
{
    // load_image() failed ...
    cout << "load_image() failed, error: " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
}

apply_surface(100, 100, message, screen);
...

I got output as follows:

load_image() failed, error: File is not a Windows BMP file

Re: New to SDL

Is it an image you changed manually from .jpg (for example) to bmp by just renaming the file?

Re: New to SDL

Ah, GIMP didn't support BMP, but I saved it anyway... I'm going to make a new background.
Thanks for the solution!
