Draw an Image with SDL2

WaitEvent, waits for events, which is more for applications than games, because if you use it in a game, the entire game would hang until it gets an event, so there is no definitive option, hence you can choose

the CPU of the example can be very easly bypassed while still using poll events, just add an SDL_Delay
best also to explain that if someone were to make a game using this, that itd be best to use PollEvents with a frame-limiter/vsync

Damn, why are all those people still here. Bros need to get a life.

Go contribute to some open-source projects!
