Another SDL_ttf question about newlines

[MoxJet]

Hello,

Is there a way to get get newlines in the surfaces generated from the TTF_RenderText_... commands? All I get is a little "unknown character square" when I try \n.

Would be nice instead of using a new command for every line.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

No, SDL_ttf does not recognize new lines chars. You should write your own function for doing so.

You can have a look at the example in this article:
