class SDLmm::Audio
class SDLmm::BaseSurface
An abstract base class for graphical surfaces. class SDLmm::CD
class SDLmm::ColorRGB
A small usefull class representing an RGB color. class SDLmm::ColorRGBA
A small usefull class representing an RGBA color. class SDLmm::Display
The video frame buffer surface. class SDLmm::Event
The general Event class. class SDLmm::EventHandler
The base class used for custom Event handlers. class SDLmm::Joystick
class SDLmm::PixelFormat
class SDLmm::SPoint
A small usefull class representing a point in 2 dimensional space. class SDLmm::SRect
This enhanced version of SDL_Rect includes a number of handy short-hand constructors. Since the class is derived from the SDL_Rect struct, it can be used in any context where an SDL_Rect is valid. class SDLmm::Surface
A graphical surface structure which is used to store graphical data. class SDLmm::Timer
class SDLmm::VideoInfo
Video target information.

Typedefs

typedef Uint32 Color

Functions

bool Init (Uint32 flags)
Initializes SDL. void Quit ()
Shut down SDL. Uint32 WasInit (Uint32 flags)
Check which subsystems are initialized. const char* GetError ()
Get the latest error message. const char* version ()
Return the SDLmm library version.

typedef Uint32 SDLmm::Color

const char * SDLmm::GetError ()

Get the latest error message.

Returns:
The error message for the last SDL function that failed.

bool SDLmm::Init (Uint32 flags)

Initializes SDL.

This method should be called before utilizing any other SDL or SDLmm functionality. The flags parameter specifies what part(s) of SDL to initialize (see the SDL documentation for details).

Parameters:

flags

the subsystems to initalize

Returns:
true on success, false on error

Note:
In SDLmm the preferred way of initiating subsystem is to use the Init() function in the subsystem classes. I.e to initialize audio and video, run Display::Init() and Audio::Init(). Also note that instantiating an object might be enough (for example creating a VideoInfo instance will initialize the video subsystem).

void SDLmm::Quit ()

Shut down SDL.

Quit() shuts down all SDL subsystems and frees the resources allocated to them. This should always be called before you exit. For the sake of simplicity you can set Quit() as your atexit call, like this:

    SDLmm::Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO);


    atexit(SDLmm::Quit);

Uint32 SDLmm::WasInit (Uint32 flags)

Check which subsystems are initialized.

This allows you to see which SDL subsytems have been initialized.

Parameters:

flags

bitwise OR'd combination of the subsystems you wish to check

Returns:
A bitwised OR'd combination of the initialized subsystems.

const char * SDLmm::version ()

Return the SDLmm library version.
