I don't think you're supposed to mess directly with the clip rects... 
(Use SDL_SetClipRect().) Also, the clip rect is automatically set to 
the full size of a surface when it's created, so unless you want to 
restrict rendering to a smaller rectangle, you don't need to touch 
this at all.

Either way, clip_rect is for blits *to* a surface. That is, if you 
want to clip when rendering to the display, you should use 
SDL_SetClipRect() on the *display* surface.

No need for these two as SDL_BlitSurface() ignores the size of the 
destination rectangle anyway.

Only x and y are used. Also note that SDL_BlitSurface() will overwrite 
destinationRectangle with the resulting rect after clipping! This is 
important to keep in mind if you're doing multiple blits in sequence, 
reusing variables and stuff.

You should still free temp2, I think! (rotozoomSurface() creates a new 
surface, right?)


Didn't spot any obvious reason for crashing, though. What does the 
debugger say? Where exactly does the crash happen?
