[SDL] OpenGL tile based game question

[Alan Wolfe]

Heya Tobias,

I think the easiest would be #2 - changing the texture coordinates to rotate
the texture

PS this may be considered off topic for the SDL list since people dont
usualy talk about general game programming techniques here, more like they
talk about the SDL libs, problems they have with them, enhancements they
want made to them etc.

For discussions on OpenGL and game programming techniques you may want to
check out www.gameprogrammer.com and subscribe to that mailing list.  Many
people from this list are also on that list as well (me included) so head on
over! (:
