Code Snippet

SDL Development
1

I wrote a very simple code snippet (inspired by apple),
incase any one is interested.

This is it…

void SDL_SetRect(SDL_Rect *Rect, Sint16 x, Sint16 y, Uint16 w, Uint16 h);

void SDL_SetRect(SDL_Rect *Rect, Sint16 x, Sint16 y, Uint16 w, Uint16 h)
{
Rect->x = x;
Rect->y = y;
Rect->w = w;
Rect->h = h;
}

This is just a cleaner way to set rects eg:

SDL_SetRect(&screenRect, 0, 0, ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight);

versus

screenRect.x = 0;
screenRect.y = 0;
screenRect.h = ScreenWidth;
screenRect.w= ScreenHeight;

I know it’s simple, but i found it useful, and i thought others might
appreciate it.–

When the going gets tough, the tough get duct tape.

Change it to SDL_Rect * SDL_SetRect(…), and have the function return Rect
– then you can use it inside of a function call needing the SDL_Rect *,
instead of having to set it above the call.–
