Hello all,

I"m starting to get into game development. I know C++ and chose SDL to start learning. I'm up to creating a full screen tiled 2d game where the user can move a ship with the keyboard (basic stuff). Now i was wondering if it is possible to change the cursor to an image.

Thanks, Ed

If you want a proper image (i.e colour, animation, et al) as your cursor, you'll need to use a SDL_Surface as the cursor, polling for SDL_MOUSEMOTION events and updating that surface's position to the mouse position during the update loop, and with a call to SDL_ShowCursor( SDL_DISABLE ) to hide the system cursor.

If you don't mind your cursor having all the limitations of the lowest common denominator system cursor, look at SDL_CreateCursor()
