#include "SDL.h" int SDL_PollEvent(SDL_Event *event);

Polls for currently pending events, and returns 1 if there are any pending events, or 0 if there are none available.

If event is not NULL, the next event is removed from the queue and stored in that area.

SDL_Event event; /* Event structure */

/* Check for events */
while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)){ /* Loop until there are no events left on the queue */
 switch(event.type){ /* Process the appropiate event type */
 case SDL_KEYDOWN: /* Handle a KEYDOWN event */ 
 printf("Oh! Key press
");
 break;
 case SDL_MOUSEMOTION:

 default: /* Report an unhandled event */
 printf("I don't know what this event is!
