Hello! I have been using C++ for quite some time and decided it was time I should attempt to develop a simple 2D game. After reviewing the libraries that seem popular for C++ game development I decided to use SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer). After setting up the library I was quickly discouraged by the fact that there is a lack of tutorials for learning the library. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how I should go about learning this library.

http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/ or http://twinklebeardev.blogspot.com/p/sdl-20-tutorial-index.html work for learning SDL2. If you run into trouble with those, just explain what specific issues you're having and I'm pretty sure quite a few of us out here are using SDL2 and can try to help out.

Edit: Second URL didn't automagically become a link, so I forced it!

Thanks for the super quick responses guys!

I'm currently working through this book that walks you through making two 2D games - I've found a few problems, e.g. forgetting to mention that a member variable should be included in the constructor initializer list, and using a member function that was not defined (a simple one-liner, but still), but so far I like it.
