Question

I’m trying to set a “color variable” in a simple game I want to write and i just want to make the background of a tile whatever color I set so I was wondering if I could use something like java’s COLOR.blue in c++

Answer 1

You better forget about color names and just use hex values intead:

Uint32 blue = 0x0000FF;

Or if you need to use alpha channel:

Uint32 blue = 0x880000FF; // ~50% transparent blue

Much easier to handle colors that way, especially if you are familiar with HTML coding.
