Enough of these line drawings: let’s have something pretty.

Images and changing window characteristics

Let’s start by displaying an image, using the code in Example 2-1.

//Program to show an image on the screen

//            -- from _C++ for Lazy Programmers_

//Simple version

#include "SSDL.h"

int main (int argc, char **argv)

{

      //Show image

      const SSDL_Image BEACH = SSDL_LoadImage ("beach.jpg");

      SSDL_RenderImage(BEACH, 0, 0);

      SSDL_WaitKey();

      return 0;

}

Example 2-1

Displaying an image

This program loads an image called beach.jpg and shows it at location 0, 0 on the screen.

That’s it.
