/bin/sh: sdl-config: command…

I'm looking to get the palette of an 8-bit surface in SDL.NET if possible, or (more than likely) using Tao.SDL. This is because I want to do palette swapping with the palette directly, instead of blitting surfaces together to replace colours like how you would do it with a 32-bit surface.
I've gotten…

Hey,
I am working an a simple Roguelike game, and using SDL as the display. The Graphics for the game is an image of Codepage 437, with the background being black, and the font white. Instead of using many seperate image files that are already colored, I want to use one image file, and replace…

My OpenGL setup is somehow configured to work like so:
(-1, 1) (0, 1) (1, 1)
(-1, 0) (0, 0) (1, 0)
(-1, -1) (0, -1) (1, -1)
How do I configure it so that it works like so:
(0, 0) (SW/2, 0) (SW, 0)
(0, SH/2) (SW/2, SH/2) (SW, SH/2)
(0, SH) (SW/2, SH) (SW/2, SH)
SW as Screen Width.
SH as Screen…

For some reason, Window::SetFramerateLimit isn't limiting the frame rate in the app I'm working on, but it works fine for others. The framerate is capped to 60, but mine jumps around at 100-99 and then goes down to 50 sometimes. It actually causes serious…
