The "SDL_Event" data structure contains a lot of stuff in it:

• Uint8 type
• SDL_ActiveEvent active
• SDL_KeyboardEvent key
• SDL_MouseMotionEvent motion
• SDL_MouseButtonEvent button
• SDL_QuitEvent quit
• SDL_SysWMEvent syswm

Based on the value of 'type,' you'll know what sub-structure to look into.

(For example, if 'type' is SDL_KEYDOWN or SDL_KEYUP, you want to look inside 'key' to find out what key it was.)
