Closing windows

SDL Development
1

I’ve created window by
SDL_SetVideoMode (400, 300, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);
After it I’ve ran game loop:
while (1) { game_processing (); }
When game started I click on the “X” button in the right-top corner of a
window, but window do not close. Why it so?

you have to check for SDL_QUIT events and make your program exit when it
receives one (:> ----- Original Message -----

Hi,

you need to catch SDL_QUIT events. See the event tutorial in the docs.
