Hi!
I’m making this message sort of to myself and any other newbs out there that might just so happen to have made the same silly mistake I made. I just wanted to make this
post because SDL_Flip was executing very slowly for me and in all the hits I searched I couldn’t find any places where someone reported this being his or her reason, or maybe it was but he or she didn’t realize.
I just wanted to leave this online in case anyone out there ever stumbles onto it having made the same mistake as me, I’m sure it’s a low probability but my thinking was “true color… 24” when I should have realized 32 would be more standard for sdl, anyway the point is if sdl_flip is taking long in true color try checking to see if you set the bitdepth to something other than 32.
Passing 0 to SDL_SetVideoMode() works well too. It chooses the bit depth
for you.
