   How would i go about making thid game in SDL?
  I am a newbie to gamesdev so i didn't know where to put my question sorry!Anyho i am a beginner to games programming and wondered what game i should start out with making. ( i have a idea for a asteroids style game or a escape the room game) i would prefer the escape the room game. i am using dev c++ and/or visual c++ and SDL. how would i go about starting this.:)   
  Well search for Lazy Foo's SDL tutorials.don't use Dev-C++. Either use Code::Blocks or Visual C++ Developerdo everything in Lazy Foo's tutorial, from beginning to endthen, make asteroids. because it is not a bad starting game. It's simple enough and it touches upon all of the basic needs of a game.;  Thanks for the great help! i was already starting my way through Lazy Foo's tutorials but i shall do what you posted and hopefully be on my way to making a asteroids style game.;  I just wanted to say that, while LazyFoo's tutorials are quite good, as a beginner to SDL I wanted to rip my keyboard to shreds for some reason when going through his most beginner ones.If I recall correctly, I enjoyed this guy's tutorials the most:http://www.aaroncox.net/tutorials/2dtutorials/index.htmlIf you've got no problem with LazyFoo's tuts then go on ahead with what you're doing, that's just a little something that might come in handy while you learn :)
