Problems with SDL2 and Windows

Game Development
1

Hi

I’ve created a simple program with SDL2 and SDL2_image that creates two surface of two different colors and then switch them every second. Also the program prints to the standard output in the console how many seconds have passed since the program started.

The problem is, after 7 seconds, the program stops updating the screen. I know that it keeps working as the terminal still shows the seconds, but the colors doesn’t change anymore!

You can clone the git repository from here: https://github.com/Vraiment/SDLTest

Any ideas on why is this happening? I’m having the exact same issue on another kind of big pet project I’m working on.

Thanks :frowning:

Thanks a lot macrofeet! This sounds like there’s an issue with Windows 10.
