programming in SDL

[ProgramMaster]

Alright I know SDL is a great program to use to make games that can be kinda fun and all but i was following a tutorial http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/14_animated_sprites_and_vsync/index.php

And I was wondering is this the only way to animate in SDL or is this just the way he chose to do it

You can do it some other way, sure.

Definitely not. You have to still use the basic things, but there are much better ways of implementing the system.

I'd recommend using a class for something like this.
