SDL and Windows
November 02, 2004 11:16 AM
hi, i just started learning sdl, it seems super easy...my first question is..how do i get it so the console window doesn't pop up everytime i run my app?
and the second question...is sdl fast? I was initially planning on using opengl with sdl for a 2d game...but now..it seems that sdl has everything that i would need to do with my simple 2d game..so should i just stay with sdl? and leave out opengl until 3d stuff comes along, or what?
thanks

add the -mwindows switch to the linker parameters

If you're using gcc (mingw) pass the compiler the -mwindows flag.

And if you're using windows add /subsystem:windows to your linker options.
SDL isn't very fast, because it does most things in pure software. The speed is very acceptable for a simply game. Just don't expect 100+ sprites on the screen with alpha blending.
