SDL为方便制作能跨跃Linux、BSD、MacOS、Win32和BeOS平台，使用本地高性能媒体接口，并且让您可以只需使用一份源代码级API而设计。SDL是相当低层的API，但使用它可以让你以极大的灵活性写出完全跨平台的程序。

SDL由八个子系统组成——音频、CDROM、事件处理、文件I/O、游戏杆、线程、记时器和视频。使用前必须调用SDL_Init或SDL_InitSubSystem初始化。SDL_Init必须早于其他所有SDL调用，它将自动初始化事件处理、文件I/O和线程子系统，并根据参数选择启动其他子系统。例如，初始化缺省和视频子系统：
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
初始化缺省、视频和记时器子系统：
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER);
SDL_Init对应SDL_Quit（和SDL_QuitSubSystem）。SDL_Quit关闭所有子系统，必须在程序关闭前调用。
除此之外，我们还必须进行错误处理。很多SDL函数返回一个值指示成功与否。例如SDL_Init失败时返回-1。每当SDL出错时，错误信息被保存，并可用SDL_GetError取得。
#include "SDL.h" /* All SDL App‘s need this */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Initializing SDL./n"); /* Initialize defaults, Video and Audio */ if((SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO)==-1)) { printf("Could not initialize SDL: %s./n", SDL_GetError()); exit(-1); } printf("SDL initialized./n"); printf("Quiting SDL./n"); /* Shutdown all subsystems */ SDL_Quit(); printf("Quiting..../n"); exit(0); }
视频是最常用的部分，也是SDL最完整的子系统。下面的初始化过程是每个SDL程序都要做的，即使可能有些不同。
SDL_Surface *screen; /* Initialize the SDL library */ if( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn‘t initialize SDL: %s/n", SDL_GetError()); exit(1); } /* Clean up on exit */ atexit(SDL_Quit); /* * Initialize the display in a 640x480 8-bit palettized mode, * requesting a software surface */ screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 8, SDL_SWSURFACE); if ( screen == NULL ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn‘t set 640x480x8 video mode: %s/n", SDL_GetError()); exit(1); }
如果你希望某种色深（颜色数）但如果用户的显示器不支持也可以接受其他色深，使用加SDL_ANYFORMAT参数的SDL_SetVideoMode。您还可以用SDL_VideoModeOK来找到与请求模式最接近的模式。
/* Have a preference for 8-bit, but accept any depth */
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 8, SDL_SWSURFACE|SDL_ANYFORMAT);
if ( screen == NULL ) {
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn‘t set 640x480x8 video mode: %s/n",
SDL_GetError());
exit(1);
}
printf("Set 640x480 at %d bits-per-pixel mode/n",
screen->format->BitsPerPixel);
当SDL已经初始化，视频模式已经选择，下面的函数将读取并显示指定的BMP文件。
void display_bmp(char *file_name)
{
SDL_Surface *image;
/* Load the BMP file into a surface */
image = SDL_LoadBMP(file_name);
if (image == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn‘t load %s: %s/n", file_name, SDL_GetError());
return;
}
/*
* Palettized screen modes will have a default palette (a standard
* 8*8*4 colour cube), but if the image is palettized as well we can
* use that palette for a nicer colour matching
*/
if (image->format->palette && screen->format->palette) {
SDL_SetColors(screen, image->format->palette->colors, 0,
image->format->palette->ncolors);
}
/* Blit onto the screen surface */
if(SDL_BlitSurface(image, NULL, screen, NULL) < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "BlitSurface error: %s/n", SDL_GetError());
SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, image->w, image->h);
/* Free the allocated BMP surface */
SDL_FreeSurface(image);
}
下面两个函数实现在图像平面的像素读写。它们被细心设计成可以用于所有色深。记住在使用前要先锁定图像平面，之后要解锁。
在像素值和其红、绿、蓝值间转换，使用SDL_GetRGB()和SDL_MapRGB()。
/* * Return the pixel value at (x, y) * NOTE: The surface must be locked before calling this! */ Uint32 getpixel(SDL_Surface *surface, int x, int y) { int bpp = surface->format->BytesPerPixel; /* Here p is the address to the pixel we want to retrieve */ Uint8 *p = (Uint8 *)surface->pixels + y * surface->pitch + x * bpp; switch(bpp) { case 1: return *p; case 2: return *(Uint16 *)p; case 3: if(SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN) return p[0] << 16 | p[1] << 8 | p[2]; else return p[0] | p[1] << 8 | p[2] << 16; case 4: return *(Uint32 *)p; default: return 0; /* shouldn‘t happen, but avoids warnings */ } }
/* * Set the pixel at (x, y) to the given value * NOTE: The surface must be locked before calling this! */ void putpixel(SDL_Surface *surface, int x, int y, Uint32 pixel) { int bpp = surface->format->BytesPerPixel; /* Here p is the address to the pixel we want to set */ Uint8 *p = (Uint8 *)surface->pixels + y * surface->pitch + x * bpp; switch(bpp) { case 1: *p = pixel; break; case 2: *(Uint16 *)p = pixel; break; case 3: if(SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN) { p[0] = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff; p[1] = (pixel >> 8) & 0xff; p[2] = pixel & 0xff; } else { p[0] = pixel & 0xff; p[1] = (pixel >> 8) & 0xff; p[2] = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff; } break; case 4: *(Uint32 *)p = pixel; break; } }
/* Code to set a yellow pixel at the center of the screen */
int x, y;
Uint32 yellow;
/* Map the color yellow to this display (R=0xff, G=0xFF, B=0x00)
Note: If the display is palettized, you must set the palette first.
*/
yellow = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00);
x = screen->w / 2;
y = screen->h / 2;
/* Lock the screen for direct access to the pixels */
if ( SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) ) {
if ( SDL_LockSurface(screen) < 0 ) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can‘t lock screen: %s/n", SDL_GetError());
return;
}
}
putpixel(screen, x, y, yellow);
if ( SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) ) {
SDL_UnlockSurface(screen);
}
/* Update just the part of the display that we‘ve changed */
SDL_UpdateRect(screen, x, y, 1, 1);
return;
SDL可以在多种平台（Linux/X11, Win32, BeOS, MacOS Classic/Toolbox, MacOS X, FreeBSD/X11 and Solaris/X11）上创建和使用OpenGL上下文。这允许你在OpenGL程序中使用SDL的音频、事件、线程和记时器，而这些通常是GLUT的任务。
和普通的初始化类似，但有三点不同：必须传SDL_OPENGL参数给SDL_SetVideoMode；必须使用SDL_GL_SetAttribute指定一些GL属性（深度缓冲区位宽，帧缓冲位宽等）；如果您想使用双缓冲，必须作为GL属性指定
/* Information about the current video settings. */
const SDL_VideoInfo* info = NULL;
/* Dimensions of our window. */
int width = 0;
int height = 0;
/* Color depth in bits of our window. */
int bpp = 0;
/* Flags we will pass into SDL_SetVideoMode. */
int flags = 0;
/* First, initialize SDL‘s video subsystem. */
if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) < 0 ) {
/* Failed, exit. */
fprintf( stderr, "Video initialization failed: %s/n",
SDL_GetError( ) );
quit_tutorial( 1 );
}
/* Let‘s get some video information. */
info = SDL_GetVideoInfo( );
if( !info ) {
/* This should probably never happen. */
fprintf( stderr, "Video query failed: %s/n",
SDL_GetError( ) );
quit_tutorial( 1 );
}
/*
* Set our width/height to 640/480 (you would
* of course let the user decide this in a normal

* resolution, so this is probably being overly
* safe. Under Win32, ChangeDisplaySettings
* can change the bpp.
*/
width = 640;
height = 480;
bpp = info->vfmt->BitsPerPixel;
/*
* Now, we want to setup our requested

*

*/
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_RED_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 16 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1 );
/*
* We want to request that SDL provide us
* with an OpenGL window, in a fullscreen
* video mode.
*
* EXERCISE:
* Make starting windowed an option, and
* handle the resize events properly with
* glViewport.

flags = SDL_OPENGL | SDL_FULLSCREEN;
/*
* Set the video mode
*/
if( SDL_SetVideoMode( width, height, bpp, flags ) == 0 ) {
/*
* This could happen for a variety of reasons,
* including DISPLAY not being set, the specified
* resolution not being available, etc.
*/
fprintf( stderr, "Video mode set failed: %s/n",
SDL_GetError( ) );
quit_tutorial( 1 );
}
除了初始化，在SDL程序中使用OpenGL和其他情况基本相同，是同样函数和数据类型。但是如果您使用双缓冲，则必须用SDL_GL_SwapBuffers()来交换前后缓冲，而不是glxSwapBuffers()（GLX）或SwapBuffers()（Windows）。

使用游戏杆的第一步是初始化游戏杆子系统。即在SDL_Init时使用参数SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK。
if ( ! SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK ) ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn‘t initialize SDL: %s/n", SDL_GetError()); exit(1); }
此例启动SDL并带视频和游戏杆支持。
至此，我们可以假定初始化以完成。但我们还需指导有没有、有几个游戏杆。即使您指导有一个游戏杆可用，也最好经常检查，因为这样可以帮助检测游戏杆被拔掉的情况。
检查游戏杆的函数是SDL_NumJoysticks()。此函数简单的返回系统中游戏杆的数量。下一步是决定用户想用哪一个。当然，如果只有一个就不用决定了。SDL_JoystickName取得系统赋给游戏杆的名字。游戏杆用序号指定，第一个为0，最后一个为SDL_NumJoysticks - 1。
printf("%i joysticks were found./n/n", SDL_NumJoysticks() );
printf("The names of the joysticks are:/n");
for( i=0; i < SDL_NumJoysticks(); i++ )
{
printf(" %s/n", SDL_JoystickName(i));
}
SDL使用事件架构，游戏杆可以触发四种事件。
所有启动的游戏杆都会触发事件。为了收到事件，首先要用SDL_ENABLE调用SDL_JoystickEventState，以允许事件。其次要启动指定的游戏杆，用SDL_JoystickOpen()。
SDL_Joystick *joystick; SDL_JoystickEventState(SDL_ENABLE); joystick = SDL_JoystickOpen(0);
游戏杆对象的指针只在查询和关闭游戏杆时有用。
现在为了响应事件，我们需要一个消息循环。所有的SDL程序至少要接受系统退出消息。设想我们的消息循环象这样：
SDL_Event event; /* Other initializtion code goes here */ /* Start main game loop here */ while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)) { switch(event.type) { case SDL_KEYDOWN: /* handle keyboard stuff here */ break; case SDL_QUIT: /* Set whatever flags are necessary to */ /* end the main game loop here */ break; } } /* End loop here */
要响应游戏杆事件，只需添加一个case。轴检测得有些技巧，因为大部分事件是垃圾。摇杆动一点就会有事件。所以必须设定一个阈值，并且忽略未达到阈值的事件。一般10%是个比较好的阈值。
case SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: /* Handle Joystick Motion */
if ( ( event.jaxis.value < -3200 ) || (event.jaxis.value > 3200 ) )
{
/* code goes here */
}
break;
另一个技巧是上下和左右是两组不同的运动。最重要的轴是轴0（左右）和轴1（上下）。按如下方法作不同处理：
case SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: /* Handle Joystick Motion */
if ( ( event.jaxis.value < -3200 ) || (event.jaxis.value > 3200 ) )
{
if( event.jaxis.axis == 0)
{
/* Left-right movement code goes here */
}
if( event.jaxis.axis == 1)
{
/* Up-Down movement code goes here */
}
}
break;
理想情况下，应该用event.jaxis.value来调整一些值。例如你在用游戏杆控制飞船，将摇杆推一点则慢速前进，推很多则快速前进。这样设计会使用户的体验更好。如果你的游戏杆有更多的轴，可用于其他控制，用法完全一样，event.jaxis.axis会有不同的值。
case SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN: /* Handle Joystick Button Presses */
if ( event.jbutton.button == 0 )
{
/* code goes here */
}
break;
按钮检测很简单，因为只有按下和放开两个状态。按下时SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN触发，放开时SDL_JOYBUTTONUP触发。event.jbutton.button指示是哪个按钮。
最后，程序结束时用SDL_JoystickClose()关闭游戏杆。例如关闭前面启动的0号游戏杆：
SDL_JoystickClose(joystick);
轨迹球消息包含X和Y方向的改变量。
case SDL_JOYBALLMOTION: /* Handle Joyball Motion */
if( event.jball.ball == 0 )
{
/* ball handling */
}
break;
此例检测第一个轨迹球。坐标改变量在event.jball.xrel和event.jball.yrel中。
最后是hat事件。hat只报告方向。我们通过位掩码检测：
SDL_HAT_CENTERED SDL_HAT_UP SDL_HAT_RIGHT SDL_HAT_DOWN SDL_HAT_LEFT
预定义的组合：
SDL_HAT_RIGHTUP SDL_HAT_RIGHTDOWN SDL_HAT_LEFTUP SDL_HAT_LEFTDOWN
case SDL_JOYHATMOTION: /* Handle Hat Motion */ if ( event.jhat.hat | SDL_HAT_UP ) { /* Do up stuff here */ } if ( event.jhat.hat | SDL_HAT_LEFT ) { /* Do left stuff here */ } if ( event.jhat.hat | SDL_HAT_RIGHTDOWN ) { /* Do right and down together stuff here */ } break;
除了游戏杆的数量，还可查询：
只需将启动游戏杆时得到的指针传给这些函数即可。
int number_of_buttons;
SDL_Joystick *joystick;
joystick = SDL_JoystickOpen(0);
number_of_buttons = SDL_JoystickNumButtons(joystick);
typedef struct{
Uint8 scancode;
SDLKey sym;
SDLMod mod;
Uint16 unicode;
} SDL_keysym;
用于按键和放开消息。scancode是硬件相关键码。除非你有特殊用途，否则忽略。sym指示键，mod为修饰键集合，例如KMOD_NUM |
KMOD_CAPS | KMOD_LSHIFT
为Numlock、Capslock和左Shift组合。最后unicode为对应字符。注意，仅当是按键消息时unicode才有效，放开消息时无效。Unicode变换必须用SDL_EnableUNICODE()打开。typedef struct{
Uint8 type;
Uint8 state;
SDL_keysym keysym;
} SDL_KeyboardEvent;
描述一个键盘消息。type指示按键（SDL_KEYDOWN）或放开（SDL_KEYUP）。state是冗余的，和含义type相同只是符号不同（SDL_PRESSED，SDL_RELEASED）。使用消息循环用SDL_PollEvent()从消息队列里读取，并用switch-case检测SDL_KEYUP和SDL_KEYDOWN。下面是个基本的例子。
SDL_Event event; . . /* Poll for events. SDL_PollEvent() returns 0 when there are no */ /* more events on the event queue, our while loop will exit when */ /* that occurs. */ while( SDL_PollEvent( &event ) ){ /* We are only worried about SDL_KEYDOWN and SDL_KEYUP events */ switch( event.type ){ case SDL_KEYDOWN: printf( "Key press detected/n" ); break; case SDL_KEYUP: printf( "Key release detected/n" ); break; default: break; } }
我们已经知道要用SDL_Init和SDL_SetVideoMode初始化，但我们还得用另外两个函数取得必要信息。要调用SDL_EnableUNICODE(1)以允许unicode变换，还要用SDL_GetKeyName将SDLKey转换成可打印字符。注意：小于0x80的unicode字符直接映射到ASCII码。下例用到这一点。
#include "SDL.h" /* Function Prototypes */ void PrintKeyInfo( SDL_KeyboardEvent *key ); void PrintModifiers( SDLMod mod ); /* main */ int main( int argc, char *argv[] ){ SDL_Event event; int quit = 0; /* Initialise SDL */ if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) ){ fprintf( stderr, "Could not initialise SDL: %s/n", SDL_GetError() ); exit( -1 ); } /* Set a video mode */ if( !SDL_SetVideoMode( 320, 200, 0, 0 ) ){ fprintf( stderr, "Could not set video mode: %s/n", SDL_GetError() ); SDL_Quit(); exit( -1 ); } /* Enable Unicode translation */ SDL_EnableUNICODE( 1 ); /* Loop until an SDL_QUIT event is found */ while( !quit ){ /* Poll for events */ while( SDL_PollEvent( &event ) ){ switch( event.type ){ /* Keyboard event */ /* Pass the event data onto PrintKeyInfo() */ case SDL_KEYDOWN: case SDL_KEYUP: PrintKeyInfo( &event.key ); break; /* SDL_QUIT event (window close) */ case SDL_QUIT: quit = 1; break; default: break; } } } /* Clean up */ SDL_Quit(); exit( 0 ); } /* Print all information about a key event */ void PrintKeyInfo( SDL_KeyboardEvent *key ){ /* Is it a release or a press? */ if( key->type == SDL_KEYUP ) printf( "Release:- " ); else printf( "Press:- " ); /* Print the hardware scancode first */ printf( "Scancode: 0x%02X", key->keysym.scancode ); /* Print the name of the key */ printf( ", Name: %s", SDL_GetKeyName( key->keysym.sym ) ); /* We want to print the unicode info, but we need to make */ /* sure its a press event first (remember, release events */ /* don‘t have unicode info */ if( key->type == SDL_KEYDOWN ){ /* If the Unicode value is less than 0x80 then the */ /* unicode value can be used to get a printable */ /* representation of the key, using (char)unicode. */ printf(", Unicode: " ); if( key->keysym.unicode < 0x80 && key->keysym.unicode > 0 ){ printf( "%c (0x%04X)", (char)key->keysym.unicode, key->keysym.unicode ); } else{ printf( "? (0x%04X)", key->keysym.unicode ); } } printf( "/n" ); /* Print modifier info */ PrintModifiers( key->keysym.mod ); } /* Print modifier info */ void PrintModifiers( SDLMod mod ){ printf( "Modifers: " ); /* If there are none then say so and return */ if( mod == KMOD_NONE ){ printf( "None/n" ); return; } /* Check for the presence of each SDLMod value */ /* This looks messy, but there really isn‘t */ /* a clearer way. */ if( mod & KMOD_NUM ) printf( "NUMLOCK " ); if( mod & KMOD_CAPS ) printf( "CAPSLOCK " ); if( mod & KMOD_LCTRL ) printf( "LCTRL " ); if( mod & KMOD_RCTRL ) printf( "RCTRL " ); if( mod & KMOD_RSHIFT ) printf( "RSHIFT " ); if( mod & KMOD_LSHIFT ) printf( "LSHIFT " ); if( mod & KMOD_RALT ) printf( "RALT " ); if( mod & KMOD_LALT ) printf( "LALT " ); if( mod & KMOD_CTRL ) printf( "CTRL " ); if( mod & KMOD_SHIFT ) printf( "SHIFT " ); if( mod & KMOD_ALT ) printf( "ALT " ); printf( "/n" ); }
键盘消息仅在键的状态在按下和放开间变化时才触发。
设想你用光标键控制飞船运动以改变眼前看到的太空景象，当你按左键并希望镜头向左转时。看看下面的代码，并注意它为什么是错的。
/* Alien screen coordinates */
int alien_x=0, alien_y=0;
.
.
/* Initialise SDL and video modes and all that */
.
/* Main game loop */
/* Check for events */
while( SDL_PollEvent( &event ) ){
switch( event.type ){
/* Look for a keypress */
case SDL_KEYDOWN:
/* Check the SDLKey values and move change the coords */
switch( event.key.keysym.sym ){
case SDLK_LEFT:
alien_x -= 1;
break;
case SDLK_RIGHT:
alien_x += 1;
break;
case SDLK_UP:
alien_y -= 1;
break;
case SDLK_DOWN:
alien_y += 1;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
}
问题在于你必须按100次左以便得到100次键盘消息，才能向左转100像素。正确的方法是收到事件时设定标志，根据标志来移动。
/* Alien screen coordinates */
int alien_x=0, alien_y=0;
int alien_xvel=0, alien_yvel=0;
.
.
/* Initialise SDL and video modes and all that */
.
/* Main game loop */
/* Check for events */
while( SDL_PollEvent( &event ) ){
switch( event.type ){
/* Look for a keypress */
case SDL_KEYDOWN:
/* Check the SDLKey values and move change the coords */
switch( event.key.keysym.sym ){
case SDLK_LEFT:
alien_xvel = -1;
break;
case SDLK_RIGHT:
alien_xvel = 1;
break;
case SDLK_UP:
alien_yvel = -1;
break;
case SDLK_DOWN:
alien_yvel = 1;
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
/* We must also use the SDL_KEYUP events to zero the x */
/* and y velocity variables. But we must also be */
/* careful not to zero the velocities when we shouldn‘t*/
case SDL_KEYUP:
switch( event.key.keysym.sym ){
case SDLK_LEFT:
/* We check to make sure the alien is moving */
/* to the left. If it is then we zero the */
/* velocity. If the alien is moving to the */
/* right then the right key is still press */
/* so we don‘t tocuh the velocity */
if( alien_xvel < 0 )
alien_xvel = 0;
break;
case SDLK_RIGHT:
if( alien_xvel > 0 )
alien_xvel = 0;
break;
case SDLK_UP:
if( alien_yvel < 0 )
alien_yvel = 0;
break;
case SDLK_DOWN:
if( alien_yvel > 0 )
alien_yvel = 0;
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
.
.
/* Update the alien position */
alien_x += alien_xvel;
alien_y += alien_yvel;
如您所见，我们用了两个变量alien_xvel和alien_yvel来表示飞船的运动，并在响应键盘消息时更新它们。

将图像画到屏幕上有三种方式：1.创建一个图像平面并用SDL_BlitSurface传送到屏幕；2.在系统内存创建视频平面并调用SDL_UpdateRect；3.在显存创建视频平面并调用SDL_LockSurface。最好的方法是混合方式：
