[SDL] Surfaces without video screen

[Torsten Giebl]

Hello !


> The documentation says that the CreateSurface functions should be called after SDL_SetVideoMode.  What if I don't want a SDL video screen?  I have an idea to create SDL_Surface objects in memory and then save them to disc with some pointer swizzling tricks, but the program that would be doing this would be an editor, for which ordinary GUI widgetset design would be far simpler than SDL.  Any workarounds available?

If you don't want to have SDL opening a window,
you can use the SDL dummy videodriver.
