SDL each mouse click cant display new image

SDL Development
1

Hi All,
I`m new in SDL.
Please somebody to help me.
I have a c++ project almost copied from website LazyFoo.
The idea is each time when is click with mouse on the screen - a copy of one and the same image to be displayed on the screen.
The problem is that each time the previous image is moved to the new clicked place.
I want with each click - new image to be displayed.
Please please give some ideas…

Below is the code:
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL_image.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;
//Screen dimension constants
const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 1300;
const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600;
const int FIGURE_WIDTH = 40;
const int FIGURE_HEIGHT = 40;

BLACK_POOL,
WHITE_POOL

void free();

//Set color modulation
void setColor( Uint8 red, Uint8 green, Uint8 blue );

//Set blending

Every time SDL_RenderClear is called, you have to redraw the whole screen. That means you have to store the position of every click if you want to keep displaying images at these coordinates.

You could, for example, store them in a vector.

vector<SDL_Point> sprite_pos;

When the SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN event happens, you store the position in the vector.

SDL_Point mouse_position = {e.button.x, e.button.y};
sprite_pos.push_back(mouse_position);

After the screen has been cleared, you can draw them all again.

for (size_t si = 0; si < sprite_pos.size(); si++)
{
    imageForCrop.render(sprite_pos[si].x, sprite_pos[si].y, &rects1.at(WHITE_POOL));
}

Note that you can indent your code in your post with four spaces or (select the code in your post and) use the “Preformatted text” button to advice Discourse to not apply any formatting to it. This will make it more readable.

Many Thanks for your help. Much appreciated ! :slight_smile:
About the formatting - I will comply with the comments next time.
Again ChliHug - thank you for the help, the great and detailed explanation!!!
