    SDL and stdio.h

    Hi

    I have a pretty good understanding of c programming, with the normal libraries, but recently i have tried to start using SDL for some basic graphics. BUt when you use SDL it makes a new window that it 'blits' to. can i get my printf statements etc and SDL to work together or do you have to use completely different commands for printing to the screen shwen using SDL?

    Thanks

    You can't use printf to write to the SDL window. You can have a second "console" window using AllocConsole, or you have to use font drawing functions. Here's a link that describes ONE possible solution:
