Use SDL_GetMouseState()
Ok, thank you! But now i’ve got another question … SDL_GetMouseState
uses int for its x and y position, while the SDL_MouseMotionEvent and
SDL_MouseButtonEvent use Uint16. Will the location gotten from
GetMouseState be the same as in those events ? Will it ever be
negative or >65536 ?
They will be the same. Future versions of SDL will use int in the events
as well, but the values shouldn’t exceed the range of Uint16.
See ya,

Ok! Another question then =) Will the SDL int types be changed to
pure int in other functions as well (ie, not only in the events) ?
Will you replace all of the SDL int types with pure int ?
Why did you choose to use those size-specific types anyway ? To make
the size of unions roughly the same with various types ?
Maybe it would be better with the C99 types int_fast8_t etc. ? Maybe
just redeclare the SDL types to these ?
Sorry if there’s a bit many question marks in here btw =)–
