SDL2: how to assign values to SDL_Color structure?

[Case]

I'm trying to understand how to use SDL2 from FreeBasic (I'm new to FB). I'm trying to follow this C tutorial for displaying some text using a TTF font opened with SDL_ttf, but I have no idea how to assign values to a SDL_COLOR structure?

The C version looks like this:

Code: Select all

SDL_Color color = { 255, 255, 255 };

How do I do that with FB? I declare the variable using 'dim shared fontColor as SDL_COLOR', but how do I assign values to it?

You can define the following:

Code: Select all

#define SDL_rgb( r, g, b )	type<SDL_Color>( r, g, b )

Then, you can call the function(s) that expects a color like this:

Code: Select all

var surfaceHello = TTF_RenderText_Solid( font, TEXT, SDL_rgb( 255, 0, 0 ) )
