Yes, SDL supports managing multiple windows. Each window in SDL is managed through a separate SDL_Window pointer. You can create multiple instances of your Window class or manage multiple SDL_Window pointers directly in your main application. Here’s a simple example of managing two windows:
#include <SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Window* window1 = SDL_CreateWindow(
"Window 1", 100, 100, 640, 480, 0);
SDL_Window* window2 = SDL_CreateWindow(
"Window 2", 750, 100, 640, 480, 0);
bool running = true;
SDL_Event event;
while (running) {
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
running = false;
}
}
SDL_UpdateWindowSurface(window1);
SDL_UpdateWindowSurface(window2);
}
SDL_DestroyWindow(window1);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window2);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}This example initializes two separate windows and updates their surfaces in the main loop. When the SDL_QUIT event is detected, both windows close.
