animating sprites

Game Development

I am trying to animate a bmp file sprite sheet but it does not a sprite to the screen.
void setrects(SDL_Rect* clip)
{
clip[0].x = 0;
clip[0].y = 0;
}

int main( int argc, char* args )
{
//Start up SDL and create window
if( !init() )
{
printf( “Failed to initialize!\n” );
}
else
{
//Load media
if (!loadMedia())
{
printf(“Failed to load media!\n”);
}
else
{
SDL_Rect rects[10];
setrects(rects);
int frame = 0;

		SDL_Rect rect;
		rect.x = 462;
		rect.y = 686;

		SDL_Rect src;
		src.x = 200;
		src.y = 200;

		//Apply the image
		SDL_BlitSurface(gHelloWorld_one, &rects[frame], gScreenSurface, &rect);

		frame++;
		if (frame == 10)
		{
			frame = 0;
		}

From the limited code that you’ve posted, it doesn’t look like the rects array is being fully initialized.

you are right I had to put in the height and width and it worked thanks for all the help
