(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

Code Examples

#include <SDL3/SDL.h>

extern void display_graph(void);

/* ... */

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int sdl_initialized = 0;
    sdl_initialized = !SDL_Init(0);

    /* ... console stuff ... */

    if (sdl_initialized && SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)) {
        display_graph();
        SDL_QuitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    }

    /* ... more console stuff ... */
