I'm trying to do a very basic main loop with SDL2 but the window opens and I can't close it.
I've written this code:
bool open = true;
while (open = true)
{
SDL_Event event;
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event) != 0)
{
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
open = false;
}
}
}
This opens a window, but I can't close it when I click on the cross to exit.
I've replaced this code with this one, found online:
while (true)
{
// Get the next event
SDL_Event event;
if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
// Break out of the loop on quit
break;
}
}
And this works, but I don't understand why my code doesn't run correctly.
You are doing assignment here, making the condition always true
:
while (open = true)
You can use ==
operator to do comparision, but actually you won't need comparision and you should write simply:
while (open)
