    So I have finished my first real SDL game (it is my first real C/C++ app as well) and I am just going to post it here in hopes that I get some suggestions.

    I am planning on switching from SDL to OpenGL for rendering, and I want to know why the sound effect plays a bit too late. Other than that, I'm looking to others for suggestions.

    EDIT:
    The attached file is the OpenGL version, plus it has a few bugfixes. I removed the link to the old version.
    EDIT2:
    And another new version, this cuts off most of the fat due to the inclusion of unnecessary libraries. I also fixed the app config error in the Windows builds.
    EDIT3:
    Okay, _now_ that application configuration error is fixed. I blame Microsoft for distributing different versions of files.

    Whoops, thanks for pointing it out. Fixed now.

    Your download script is buggy. It's calling it the MIME type "text/html", so I end up getting "pong.zip.html", which is fine, because I can just rename it to .zip, but I shouldn't have to.

    Also, what is this? No Makefile?

    Got it to compile on Mac OS X by downloading SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and some weird SDL_gfxPrimitives library, and then doing a hackish compile like this:
    Code:

    The SDLMain.m warnings are no fault of your own.

    So it looks like as far as warnings go, you're just missing a 'default' case on your switch statements in Paddle.cpp on lines 46, 51, 59, 64 (something like 'default: break;' would silence it). So nothing really bad there.

    Is your game supposed to have some sort of A.I. controlling the 2nd paddle?

    No, haven't really looked into AI yet. Any pointers on how I can learn to do that would be nice. Although, I got really hooked on beating myself at one point...

    And SDL_gfx is an external library that allows me to draw geometric shapes.

    SDL_gfx and SDL_gfxPrimitives are two different libraries.

    Okay, updated the main post with the latest version.

    Rendering is now done using OpenGL, but there is one bug in Linux. The Windows build works fine, but when you run the Linux build it will be obvious what is wrong. The quad that the text is textured onto is completely white, instead of blended like in the Windows build.

    Also, the windows build runs fine on my home computer, but as soon as I run it at school it crashes and gives an application configuration incorrect error. Any ideas?

    EDIT: Fixed.
