what is wrong? i compile it with no errors but it just shows a blank window

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <SDL.h>

SDL_Surface* image;
SDL_Surface* screen;

int x = 0;
int y = 0;

void Init_images()
{
    image = SDL_LoadBMP("LOL.bmp");
}

void DrawImg(SDL_Surface* theimg,int x,int y)
{
    SDL_Rect rect;
    rect.x = x;
    rect.y = y;
    SDL_BlitSurface(theimg,NULL,screen,&rect);
}

void DG()
{
    DrawImg(screen,0,0);
}

void Drawscene()
{
    DrawImg(image,x-1,y-2);
    SDL_Flip(image);
}

int main(int argc,char * argv[])
{
    if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) <0)
    {
        std::cout <<"error",SDL_GetError();
    }
    atexit(SDL_Quit);
    
    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
    if (screen == NULL)
    {
        std::cout <<"error with setting it up", SDL_GetError();
    }
    
    Init_images();
    DG();
    
    int so = 0;
    while (so == 0)
    {
        SDL_Event event;
        
        while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
        {
                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }
                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)
                {
                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}
                }
        }
    }
    Drawscene();
    return 0;
}

Try putting the call to DrawScene inside of your mainloop

    // *** SNIP    int so = 0;    while (so == 0)    {        SDL_Event event;                while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))        {                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)                {                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}                }        }        // DrawScene after events processed        Drawscene();    }

hmm, it gives me some errors now let me post my code to make sure i am doing it right

#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>#include <SDL.h>SDL_Surface* image;SDL_Surface* screen;int x = 0;int y = 0;void Init_images(){    image = SDL_LoadBMP("LOL.bmp");}void DrawImg(SDL_Surface* theimg,int x,int y){    SDL_Rect rect;    rect.x = x;    rect.y = y;    SDL_BlitSurface(theimg,NULL,screen,&rect);}void DG(){    DrawImg(screen,0,0);}int main(int argc,char * argv[]){    if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) <0)    {        std::cout <<"error",SDL_GetError();    }    atexit(SDL_Quit);        screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);    if (screen == NULL)    {        std::cout <<"error with setting it up", SDL_GetError();    }     Init_images();    DG();        int so = 0;    while (so == 0)    {        SDL_Event event;         while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))        {                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)                {                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}                }        }    }void Drawscene(){    DrawImg(image,x-1,y-2);    SDL_Flip(image);}      Drawscene();    return 0;}

errors:

That's not what he meant hothead.

He meant move the Drawscene call in ur original program to within the outer While loop (just move it up the brace).

it has the same errors ,but just to make sure is this what you meant?

#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>#include <SDL.h>SDL_Surface* image;SDL_Surface* screen;int x = 0;int y = 0;void Init_images(){    image = SDL_LoadBMP("LOL.bmp");}void DrawImg(SDL_Surface* theimg,int x,int y){    SDL_Rect rect;    rect.x = x;    rect.y = y;    SDL_BlitSurface(theimg,NULL,screen,&rect);}void DG(){    DrawImg(screen,0,0);}int main(int argc,char * argv[]){    if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) <0)    {        std::cout <<"error",SDL_GetError();    }    atexit(SDL_Quit);        screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);    if (screen == NULL)    {        std::cout <<"error with setting it up", SDL_GetError();    }     Init_images();    DG();    void Drawscene(){    DrawImg(image,x-1,y-2);    SDL_Flip(image);}     int so = 0;    while (so == 0)    {        SDL_Event event;        while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))        {                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)                {                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}                }        }    }     Drawscene();    return 0;}

Leave all the functions implementations where they are - just call Drawscene in your inner loop.

Where you had:

int so = 0;    while (so == 0)    {        SDL_Event event;                while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))        {                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)                {                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}                }        }    }    Drawscene(); // Move this call from here to the inner loop    return 0;

Change it to:

int so = 0;    while (so == 0)    {        SDL_Event event;                while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))        {                if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) { so = 1; }                if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN)                {                                if(event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE ) {so = 1;}                }        }        // Change here        Drawscene();    }        return 0;

What's happening is that your call to draw the image on the screen (Drawscene) is only being called after your eventloop (the section that Polls the events looking for the escape key which sets the

so

flag variable). You need to move this to within the main loop so that the screen in drawn after the events have been processed but the escape key hasn't been hit.
