前几节我们了解到,SDL基本库只能加载普通的BMP图像,如果我们还想加载其它格式的图片,我们就需要用到SDL的扩展库,它可以帮助我们加载BMP, PNM, XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, TGA and PNG等格式图片。要下载SDL扩展帮助文档,点击此处!
使用扩展库之前,我们需要先从网上下载适合VS2010的库文件,点击此处,进入下载!如下图所示,下载该版本文件!

下载下来以后,同原来设置SDL基本库一样,我们设置好该扩展库的使用环境,复制dll文件至exe同目录下。



接着,我们修改上一节所写的load_image子函数,代码如下:
SDL_Surface *load_image(std::string filename) { //The image that's loaded SDL_Surface *loadedImage = NULL;
//The optimized image that will be used SDL_Surface *optimizedImage = NULL;
//Loaded the image using SDL_image loadedImage = IMG_Load(filename.c_str());
//If the image loaded if(loadedImage != NULL) { //Create an optimized image optimizedImage = SDL_DisplayFormat(loadedImage);
//Free the old image SDL_FreeSurface(loadedImage);
}
//Return the optimized image return optimizedImage; }
然后我们就可以加载包括BMP之内其它格式图片。在此,我准备了两幅图片,一幅test_png.png的png格式图片:

还有一幅background.bmp的bmp格式背景图片:

完整代码如下所示:
#include "SDL.h" #include "SDL_image.h" #include <string> //The attributes of the screen const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 600;
const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 450;
const int SCREEN_BPP = 32;
//The surfaces that will be usede SDL_Surface *message = NULL;
SDL_Surface *background = NULL;
SDL_Surface *screen = NULL;
SDL_Surface *load_image(std::string filename) { //The image that's loaded SDL_Surface *loadedImage = NULL;
//The optimized image that will be used SDL_Surface *optimizedImage = NULL;
//Loaded the image using SDL_image // loadedImage = SDL_LoadBMP(filename.c_str()); loadedImage = IMG_Load(filename.c_str());
//If the image loaded if(loadedImage != NULL) { //Create an optimized image optimizedImage = SDL_DisplayFormat(loadedImage);
//Free the old image SDL_FreeSurface(loadedImage);
}
//Return the optimized image return optimizedImage; }
void apply_surface(int x,int y,SDL_Surface* source,SDL_Surface *destination)
{ //Make a temporary rectangle to hold the offsets SDL_Rect offset;
//Give the offset to the rectangle offset.x = x;
offset.y = y;
//Blit the surface SDL_BlitSurface(source,NULL,destination,&offset);
}
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{ //Initialize all SDL_subsystems if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) == -1) { return 1; }
//Set up Screen screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH,SCREEN_HEIGHT,SCREEN_BPP,SDL_SWSURFACE);
if(screen == NULL) { return 1; }
//Set the window caption SDL_WM_SetCaption("Hello World",NULL); //Load Image message = load_image("test_png.png"); background = load_image("background.bmp"); //Apply the background to the screen apply_surface(0,0,background,screen);
//apply the message to the screen apply_surface(105,78,message,screen);
//Update Screen if(SDL_Flip(screen) == -1) { return 1; }
//Wait 2 seconds SDL_Delay(20000);
//Free the loaded image SDL_FreeSurface(message);
SDL_FreeSurface(background);
//Quit SDL SDL_Quit();
return 0; }
最后效果如下:
