sdl2-draw-demo

A simple drawing application made with SDL2.

Use the mouse to draw. The color drifts randomly. The drawing drifts in random directions in a pattern when you hold the mouse button without moving the mouse.

The window defaults to 512x512 pixels and is resizable. Resizing the window clears the drawing.

How to build and run

Linux

Tested with SDL v2.0.12

1. Clone repo
2. make run

Windows

Tested with SDL v2.0.9

• Download and install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 to get the CL C/C++ compiler and x64 Native Tools Command Prompt. Use x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for 32-bit Windows. More information on these command prompts here.
• Download the Visual C++ SDL2 development libraries.
• Create a symbolic link named SDL2-2.0.9 targeting the location of the downloaded SDL2-2.0.9 folder. Likely use mklink /D SDL2-2.0.9 C:\path\to\SDL2-2.0.9. The /D argument is for directory symbolic link as opposed to the default file symbolic link.
• Switch x64 to x86 for libpathsdl in build.bat for 32-bit.
• Run build.bat in the command prompt from above to build. Run build.bat dev to get a console when the program runs.
