*sigh*
all these little hickups are really annoying, my progress would be much quicker if the tutorials actually worked how they say they will! (probably my fault but :P)
On execution, the window opens and displays the background, but no image is displayed. The image is in the correct directory.
*edit* I was messing around with the rect settings, these are not those used in the tutorial, but i am absolutely certain the ones in the tutorial didnt work either. i cant remember what they are exactly but it shouldnt matter, as I also tried using NULL instead of the rects and had the same problem.
Is source.y = 200; intentional? (i.e. do you really want to skip the first 200 lines in the source image, or was that a mistake?) Anyway, setting source to NULL should cause it to copy the entire image, so that's probably not it.
(destination.w and destination.h are ignored, so you don't need to set those.)
Have you checked the return value from SDL_BlitSurface? It returns -1 if something goes wrong..

Yes, I think that's your problem, except if you try only to display your pic from pixel 200 downwards...
source.x = 0;
source.y = 0;
source.w = 200;
source.h = 200;
would work better...
I just tested the code and it seems fine... only the source might be the problem.
source.x = 0;
source.y = 0;
source.w = 200;
source.h = 200;
would work better...

Thanks , I'll give that a shot right now..

Yes it's returning -1. . . :( Where can I go to figure out whats happening now?
*edit* That test I just did was using NULL instead of the SDL_Rect s - Should both values be null on the blit function or just the source?
Just tried it using BIGFOOT's idea and still not working!

I copied and pasted your code and it worked when I changed x & y of the source to 0...
EDIT:ok, then I'm out of ideas :| check the error codes and maybe that might help.

Try http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/
Also:
printf("SDL_Init Failed: %s\n", SDL_GetError());should give you more info about the last error.

SDL_BlitSurface(bitmap, null, screen, &destination); is what I would have suggested, but the other way should have worked too.
Oh, yes.. Have you checked that SDL_LoadBMP doesn't return NULL? It is possible that it failed to load the picture for some reason..

the error was. . .
SDL_UpperBlit: Passed a NULL surface
Does this mean either the source or destination surface isnt properly being created?
..Just checked the error after SD_LoadBMP - "Could not load BMP"
well theres the problem . . hmmm...
BAAAAH!
the bitmap had the "archive" property enabled...
Problem solved. . thanks all involved.
At least I learnt how to find errors in an SDL program and got this damn image loading!
