Setting the Color Key

SDL Development
#1

I’m new at SDL and writing my first program but I can’t figure out how to
set the color key. I have a bmp loaded on my surface “image” and i want the
colorkey to be RGB 0, 255, 0 (green) but I don’t understand what the Uint32
flag is or what to put there referring to:

SDL_SetColorKey(SDL_Surface *surface, Uint32 flag, Uint32 key);

Use “SDL_MapRGB()”, I believe.

e.g.:

SDL_SetColorKey(surf, flag,
SDL_MapRGB(surf->format, 0, 255, 0));

(GOing off the top of my head :slight_smile: )
