What happened to SDL_SetVideoMode() in SDL2

SDL Development
1

Hi,

A simple test code is not building because there is not
SDL_SetVideoMode() and SDL_Flip() in SDL2.

What happened to them? Who replaced them?

In version 1.2.15

$arif at khost:~/sak/SDL$ global -x SDL_SetVideoMode
SDL_SetVideoMode 583 src/video/SDL_video.c SDL_Surface *
SDL_SetVideoMode (int width, int height, int bpp, Uint32 flags)

$arif at khost:~/sak/SDL$ global -x SDL_Flip
SDL_Flip 1105 src/video/SDL_video.c int SDL_Flip(SDL_Surface
*screen)

But in hg tip, there is nothing.

arif at khost:~/sak/tests$ gcc sdl_load_image.c pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2
sdl_load_image.c: In function ?main?:
sdl_load_image.c:9:9: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer
without a cast [enabled by default]
/tmp/cc4ZEiir.o: In function main': sdl_load_image.c:(.text+0x43): undefined reference toSDL_SetVideoMode’
sdl_load_image.c:(.text+0x9e): undefined reference to `SDL_Flip’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

grepping them comes up with nothing

arif at khost:~/sak/SDL$ hg tip
changeset: 7306:1516fe08e6ec
tag: tip
user: Sam Lantinga

summary: Added an arbitrary limit to the number of queued events so
it doesn’t grow unbounded.–

In SDL 2 you need to create a window and a renderer. Check out the
headers and/or docs.

SDL2 deprecated SDL_SetVideoMode, and now abstracts video handling by
handling multiple windows. Check out the migration
guidehttp://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.fcg/MigrationGuide

Thanks for link to MigrationGuide. I was unaware of that. That actually
fixed two of problems. The other one is still hanging in this mailing list.On 06/12/2013 08:19 PM, Andreas Schiffler wrote:
