In Topic: Beginning SDL - Part 3 - A Sprite/Drawing Class

Posted 18 May 2012
Wonderful tutorial so far. Quick question, however. What is the advantage of static member functions over normal ones?

Instead of this:
```
 static   bool   Draw(SDL_Surface* dest, SDL_Surface* src, int x, int y);
```
Could you do this?
```
//removed src parameter
bool   Draw(SDL_Surface* dest, int x, int y);
```
And the object already knows that it is itself that it wants to draw. So my question I suppose is why do it static?

EDIT:
I always realize these things AFTER I post. The class doesn't actually hold the info. Just loads it. Got it. Never mind.

Ah. I see what you're saying. My main thing though is that I want to make sure it's sane so to speak. I want to be able to easily expand on it. Actually though, I just found stayscrisp's SDL tutorial and it happens to cover some of the stuff I'm looking to be sure of. I'm going to read through it for some pointer on my structure.

It is working as far as I know. Did it not work for you?

Ah. I see what I did wrong. The code should be attached now.

Hm. That's weird. I'm at work right now. I'll check what happened when I get home. I did have the code attached in a tar.gz.
