### SDL 101, First Day of Class

### Hello SDL2
|

|

Now create the basic body of your project. The body of your program
|
||||
should take the following form:
|
||||
Here's a sample SDL snippet to verify everything is setup in your IDE:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#include "SDL.h"
|
||||
|
||||
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Body of the program goes here.
|
||||
const int WIDTH = 640;
|
||||
const int HEIGHT = 480;
|
||||
SDL_Window* window = NULL;
|
||||
SDL_Renderer* renderer = NULL;
|
||||
|
||||
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
|
||||
window = SDL_CreateWindow("SDL2 Test", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, WIDTH, HEIGHT, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
|
||||
renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
|
||||
|
||||
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
|
||||
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);

I hope that this document has helped you get through the most difficult part of using the SDL: installing it. Suggestions for improvements to

this document should be sent to the writers of this document.
