### 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 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);

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.
