Is it possible to run an SDL window in a secondary thread? The code would include the SDL_init, events and drawing.
I do not seem to be able to get it to work.
Thanks.

I can't imagine that working very well, if at all. Rendering is almost always restricted to the primary thread. You would, if you wanted, run other things in secondary threads - but that probably will also cause headaches.
