Perhaps I should write an autotracker for that kind of music.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, using 64-bit FreeBSD here, and the Windows version runs without issues. With a little bit of tinkering, I managed to get this to build natively and run without issues.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Three things you need to note in future (no, you won't be &quot;marked down&quot; for these, it just makes your game easier to port):\r<br\/>1. Please, if you use SDL 2.0, say SDL2. &quot;SDL&quot; on its own refers to SDL 1.2 in most peoples' minds, which then makes people like me \r<br\/>2. If you need to #include something in a subdirectory, use e.g. &quot;SDL\/SDL_image.h&quot;, NOT &quot;SDL\\SDL_image.h&quot; - the latter ONLY works on Windows, while the former works absolutely everywhere and is the ONLY standard path separator.\r<br\/>3. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't valid C++:\r<br\/>        SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,&amp;rm.getRect());\r<br\/>Use this instead:\r<br\/>        SDL_Rect r = rm.getRect();\r<br\/>        SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,&amp;r);"},{"author_name":"GreaseMonkey","author_uid":"2396","time":"Dec 24, 2013 @ 3:42am","epoch":1387856220,"text":"(elaboration on point #3: Drawer.cpp, line 69)"},{"author_name":"kirbytails7","author_uid":"4767","time":"Dec 24, 2013 @ 4:53am","epoch":1387860480,"text":"Good job getting something done for your first entry!
