SDL_WarpMouse

SDL Development

Hi, I want to use a mouse in my program, but I’m running into a bit a
problem:

I want the mouse to start somewhere in the window, say, in the middle.
I use SDL_WarpMouse to do so, but the first SDL_MOUSEMOTION event polled
corresponds to the WarpMouse. (The event.motion.[xy] == event.motion.[xy]rel)

How can I either (1) remove that event from the event queue or (2)
detect (so I can ignore) that SDL_WarpMouse was used? Or is there
another cleaner solution? (Right now, I’m just ignoring the first
MOUSEMOTION.)

Thanks!

Either ignore the event, or call SDL_ShowCursor(0), and draw your own
cursor wherever you like.
