How to load multiple images in SDL_image and SDL2? - c++

Question

I've been trying to load 2 images in a SDL window, like a player and an enemy, but SDL2_image loads only one image at a time
here's my code :
#include<iostream>
#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED
#include<SDL2/SDL.h>
#include<SDL2/SDL_image.h>
using namespace std;
SDL_Texture* load(SDL_Renderer* ren, const char* path, SDL_Rect rect)
{
SDL_Texture* img = IMG_LoadTexture(ren, path);
if (img == NULL)
cout << SDL_GetError() << endl;
SDL_RenderClear(ren);
SDL_RenderCopy(ren, img, NULL, &rect);
SDL_RenderPresent(ren);
return img;
}
int main()
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
IMG_Init(IMG_INIT_PNG);
SDL_Window* window = SDL_CreateWindow("SDL2", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 460, 380, SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE);
SDL_Surface* icon = IMG_Load("sdl.png");
SDL_SetWindowIcon(window, icon);
SDL_Renderer* ren = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);
SDL_Rect rect,r2;
rect.x = 0; r2.x = 65;
rect.y = 0; r2.y = 80;
rect.w = 64; r2.w = 64;
rect.h = 64; r2.h = 64;
SDL_Texture* img = load(ren, "player.png", rect);
SDL_Delay(2000);
SDL_Texture* tex = load(ren, "enemy.png", r2);
SDL_Event events; bool running = true;
while (running == true)
{
if (SDL_PollEvent(&events))
{
if (events.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
running = false;
break;
}
}
}
IMG_Quit();
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
I used SDL_Delay to demonstrate what happens
it loads "player.png" first and then after 2 seconds, it loads "enemy.png"
I wanted to load both at the same time but I couldn't
Please help!

solved, it was due to SDL_RenderClear
