SDL_ResizeEvent(3)

💖 SDL_ResizeEvent(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL API Reference ✨ this one's about the window-resize event structure, and it's genuinely so straightforward you're gonna eat it up 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_ResizeEvent — the window resize event structure 🪟✨

🧚 STRUCTURE DEFINITION 🧚

here's the whole lil guy, no cap:

typedef struct{
  Uint8 type;
  int w, h;
} SDL_ResizeEvent;

literally three fields. iconic, honestly. 👑

🎀 STRUCTURE DATA 🎀

• type — it's SDL_VIDEORESIZE 💫
• w, h — the new width and height of the window, respectively 📐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so SDL_ResizeEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union, and it's the one that shows up when an event of type SDL_VIDEORESIZE gets reported 🫶

the way it works: when you pass SDL_RESIZABLE as a flag to SDL_SetVideoMode, the user is allowed to resize the application's window 👀 and when they actually do resize it, an SDL_VIDEORESIZE gets reported, with the new window width and height values stored in w and h, respectively 💅

and here's the part that matters, bestie — when you receive an SDL_VIDEORESIZE, the window should be resized to the new dimensions using SDL_SetVideoMode. don't just sit there with your new w and h doing nothing, that's not the vibe 😭

fr fr: you get the event, then you call SDL_SetVideoMode with the fresh dimensions. that's the whole loop. periodt. 💖
