SDL ttf

[Sharan123]

I have made pong game in sdl and i have tried to dynamically change the ttf font for example for incrementing score but it gives error , now i have option of blitting multiple images on screen like animation for score which is so tiring and tedious , is there a way around it

text = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, "Hello World", color3);//instead of this 
string s ="1";
text = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, s, color3);//why can't i try this or is there another way

Don't know SDL, but the issue probably is that it doesn't know how to handle an std::string, it probably only knows how to handle C strings.

Edit: yep
SDL_Surface *TTF_RenderText_Solid(TTF_Font *font, const char *text, SDL_Color fg)

It wants a C string, so make your code be something like

const char* s = "1";
text = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, s, color3);
