Okay so I started learning SDL as I am already fluint in C++. so I have a question that got me confused; when you are polling in SDL to see if there are any events you do it like:

while(!quit){   while(SDL_PollEvents(event)   {       //check for events   }   // render stuff here}

this is just to show you what I mean.

my question is, when the second while loop executes, why doesn't it stop the rendering stuff from working or delay it. I thought it should because the second while loop will always be true since you are moving your mouse or pressing buttons but it actually doesn't effect it.

I hope you understand what I mean.

It would be great if you could close your code-blocks using (without the whitespace). Horizontal scrolling chills away :)

I thought that would be the reason why but now I am sure it is ;) thanks for clarifying that for me mate.
