I've been looking over a few tutorials on Game Programming in SDL and I made a project in C++ and I have 2 files in it. They both compile but generate one error.
First File(complies by itself no problem)
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
#include "SDL/SDL_TTF.h"
const int WINDOW_WIDTH = 640;
const int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 480;
const char* WINDOW_TITLE = "SDL Start";
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO );
SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, 0,
SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF );
SDL_WM_SetCaption( WINDOW_TITLE, 0 );
SDL_Surface* bitmap = SDL_LoadBMP("bat.bmp");
SDL_SetColorKey( bitmap, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB(bitmap->format, 255, 0, 255) );
// Part of the bitmap that we want to draw
SDL_Rect source;
source.x = 24;
source.y = 63;
source.w = 65;
source.h = 44;
// Part of the screen we want to draw the sprite to
SDL_Rect destination;
destination.x = 300;
destination.y = 200;
destination.w = 65;
destination.h = 44;
SDL_Event event;
bool gameRunning = true;
while (gameRunning)
{
if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
gameRunning = false;
}
}
SDL_BlitSurface(bitmap, &source, screen, &destination);
SDL_Flip(screen);
}
SDL_FreeSurface(bitmap);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
Second File(added to the project and im now getting the problem)
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
#include "SDL/SDL_TTF.h"
const int WINDOW_WIDTH = 640;
const int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 480;
const char* WINDOW_TITLE = "SDL Start";
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO );
TTF_Init();
SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, 0,
SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF );
SDL_WM_SetCaption( WINDOW_TITLE, 0 );
TTF_Font* font = TTF_OpenFont("ARIAL.TTF", 12);
SDL_Color foregroundColor = { 255, 255, 255 };
SDL_Color backgroundColor = { 0, 0, 255 };
SDL_Surface* textSurface = TTF_RenderText_Shaded(font, "This is my text.",
foregroundColor, backgroundColor);
// Pass zero for width and height to draw the whole surface
SDL_Rect textLocation = { 100, 100, 0, 0 };
SDL_Event event;
bool gameRunning = true;
while (gameRunning)
{
if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
gameRunning = false;
}
}
SDL_FillRect(screen, NULL, SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 0, 0, 0));
SDL_BlitSurface(textSurface, NULL, screen, &textLocation);
SDL_Flip(screen);
}
SDL_FreeSurface(textSurface);
TTF_CloseFont(font);
TTF_Quit();
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
I get this error.
C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error] [SDL_Tutorial.exe] Error 1
This is probably occurring because I'm compiling them simultaneously. If so how can I fix it? I want to test the font file but I cant seem to get it to compile by itself w/o compiling the other and without making a seperate project just to test it. Thanks for the help!
