My team and I are developing a new 2d video game engine based on SDL 2.
We have found a problem:
On Windows 8 when the SDL 2 window is resized, texture alpha transparency fails?
(on window resize, alpha transparency is constantly fully opaque)
Anyone know why this occurs and know of a solution?
Thanks!
Can you try the attached patch?On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 2:53 AM, JeZ-l-Lee < JessePalserMailingLists at gmail.com> wrote:

[SDL2]-Transparency Fails After Window Resize?

How do I patch my SDL - I am using the already compiled Windows version from the website?
I don’t know how to patch it.

The idea is that you build it yourself from source, and incorporate the patch.________________________________

Hi,
Sorry, I don’t know how to build SDL2 from source, I use Code::Blocks C++ IDE on Windows 8.
Is there a work-around I can try in my game project’s source code?------------------------

It is not difficult to set up a virtual machine running linux, and install a cross-compiler to make windows builds for you.
If you don’t want to do that, I suggest you download visual C++ EE addition (free), and use that to make builds of SDL (and your program) (The IDE is much better than anything else I have seen on windows or linux, and the debugger is outstanding!).
