Q: 

SDL: What is a Blit?

In the SDL wiki it says

Use this function to perform a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface.

However that doesn't help me much..

  • What does the term surface blitting mean in this context?
+2  A: 

Baiscally it means copying the image from one surface to another -- possibly cropped and shifted.
