Sdl Get pixel color
When it comes to per-pixel SDL things, I like this site.
It shows us this code to place a pixel:
From this, we can easily get the color, instead of placing it.
Just change 'ptr[lineoffset + x] = color;' to 'return ptr[lineoffset + x];', and change the function's parameters and return type. (Return type should be type 'Uint32'.
These functions return the color not in a SDL_Color format, but bitshifted into a unsigned 32 bit integer. Look at SDL's documentation on 'SDL_MapRGB' and 'SDL_GetRGB' to figure out how to convert the ints.
Here's LazyFoo's example: (Read this tutorial)
You must lock and unlock your surfaces when accessing the pixels. (I think it's only required when writing new pixels, but I do it when reading and when writing, just to be sure)
