Blitting zoomed images using SDL

Question

Is there any way to Blit a zoomed (in) version of a certain image/sprite using SDL? (Besides manually saving a zoomed version of the image..)

Thanks :-)

Answer 1

Not with the SDL API itself.

I think there exist libraries (for SDL) who support zooming (so called resizing).

Answer 2

Generally speaking, SDL isn't suitable for graphics that require real-time rotations and zooming. For that, you'd need an library based around an accelerated API such as DirectX or OpenGL. I understand that SFML meets this requirement.
