3.1 Automatic Cleanup with Syntax Forms🔗ℹ

The recommended approach uses syntax forms that automatically clean up resources:

• with-sdl — Initialize SDL, run body, quit SDL

• with-window — Create window, run body, destroy window

• with-renderer — Create renderer, run body, destroy renderer

• with-window+renderer — Create both, run body, destroy both

These forms use Racket’s custodian system to ensure resources are freed even if an exception occurs.

3.2 Manual Management🔗ℹ

For more control, use the constructor and destructor functions directly:

(sdl-init!)

(define win (make-window "Title" 800 600))

(define ren (make-renderer win))

;; ... use win and ren ...

(renderer-destroy! ren)

(window-destroy! win)

(sdl-quit!)
