Hi,
I was thinking of making space invaders clone. This involves rotating the ship and bullet; I want to know how I can rotate it using SDL and C++.

PS:
I have heard it is possible in OpenGL, but I would prefer to just use SDL.

You cannot do rotation in SDL. There is a library called SDL_gfx but I wouldn't recommend it, it's ridiculously slow really.

As far as I know there are no rotations in space invaders.

Can you get away with using pre-rendered rotations in a sprite sheet? If not then OpenGL is your best and fastest bet

OK thanks. For now I could use images that are already rotated. And maybe move on to OpenGL later for a more professional look.
