SDL_LoadBMP

[JerryBlade]

Are there any alternatives to SDL_LoadBMP? I want to load a PNG or even a JPG/GIF, but before I go and code it, I wanted to see if there was anything built into SDL to do this. Until I started updating the code for linapple to make it work properly on the Pandora a few days ago, I had never touched SDL so I apologize if this is a real newb request.

Worked like a charm. I cannot believe how relatively easy SDL is to work with... Thanks!

Relative to what may I ask? Coding everything from scratch.

Relative to the last time I used a Game-Related API, DirectX 7...

Ha, good stuff, I was just curious, I haven't looked very far from SDL/OpenGL.


Microsoft have improved things a lot with their APIs nowadays, I was surprised how easy XNA was to use when I tried it. It's a shame it's not open source...
