G’day people,
I was wondering, it would be nice to be able to open more windows with SDL,
(say one window with the game, and one score windows for example). This is
currently not possible, however the SDL_surface * functions seem to be
quite nicely seperated from the actual windowing code … is this something
that Sam (Hi Sam ;^) is considering ? or is it not high on the wish list ?
(or not at all maybe)
Cheers,
flux.

Since SDL is designed to work in console environments with one display,
it doesn’t currently have support for multiple windows. Miguel de Icaza
and I talked about porting GDK to a framebuffer target, and we both
thought it was a great idea, but neither of us have time to implement it.
See ya!

Perhaps this is the same problem, which I am struggling
with;
I’m trying to open a window, close it, open it again and
close it and crash. Maybe SDL isn’t supposed to open and
close windows like that, but instead keep them open until
the game or demo is left?
I’ve uploadede the tiny project, which I’m working at here:

If anyone can figure anything out, I’d very much like to
hear about it…On Mon, 27 Dec 1999, Sam Lantinga wrote:
