[Necry3d]

is it worth using SDL whe SFML exist? for c++

[LusikkaMage]

@Necry3d There are Pros and Cons of both. I, personally, have been favoring SFML lately. 

[beronk]

where did u learn all this? from books or course?

[LusikkaMage]

@beronk I learned C++ from various sources- mainly books as well as college classes. The libraries I learned from guides online. And Game Development I learned on my own largely just from trial and error.

OOOH, I like confusing the players! xD

[Selenus]

I'm understanding everything thus far, but... I hope there will be some concrete examples later in this series, as I'm getting a little mixed up.

[Deeharok]

dont you have to do Mix_Init() to have the ability to load .mp3, .mod, .ogg and .flac formats?

[Deeharok]

how do you check if a mixchunk is currently playing?
