[SDL] headers.....directives

[Eddy Cullen]

Hi,

Welcome to the world of C programming!

"Give a man a computer and you'll frustrate him for a day, teach him to 
program and you'll frustrate him for LIFE!"

If you're serious about learning to write C, invest in a copy of "The C 
Programming Language" by Kernighan & Ritchie ISBN 0131103628. Will set 
you back about £20 / $40; money well-spent.

You may find that some compilers will complain if you write:

   int main(int argc, char *argv[])

try

   int main(int argc, char **argv)

instead (they actually mean the same). You don't actually need the 
parameters, unless you're going to use them; when starting out, it is 
perfectly acceptable to write:

   int main()

but not

   int main(void)

as this has a different meaning.

Jitsu Love,

Eddy
