SDL-1.3 on old hardware

SDL Development

Hi All,

How SDL-1.3 cope with old hardware, WRT maximum texture sizes and power-of-two requirements? If it doesn’t, does it have functions to query the hardware capabilities/disabilities?

I think it doesn’t check for it, but I’d like to know for sure.

Thanks,

Andre

Regarding power-of-two, last time a checked source code it was handled.On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 3:26 AM, wrote:

Great, thanks!

I think I’ll just play safe and slice my surfaces into, say, 256x256 surfaces and wrap them inside a class to handle the blitting for me. That should also take care of any power-of-two issues.

Thanks again,

Andre
