   // create the window
   sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");

   // run the program as long as the window is open
   while (window.isOpen())
   {
      // check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
      sf::Event event;
      while (window.pollEvent(event))
      {
         // "close requested" event: we close the window
         if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();
      }

      // clear the window with black color
      window.clear(sf::Color::Black);

      // draw everything here...
      // window.draw(...);

      // end the current frame

// I am getting a bunch of errors when I run this project and I do not know where to start to start fixing them
// If anyone can please give me some advice on how setup this project-up or tell me something I would more then be happy.
Thanks,

// If I can get a little help from someone of how to fix some of these errors, or what best to try? maybe then  I hope to get a little better with a project in SFML.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{

sf::RenderWindow windows(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!")
sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

while (window.isOpen())
{

   sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
}

if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}

window.clear();
window.draw(shape);
window.display();

}
return 0;
}

General / How to setup SFML

« on: May 13, 2018, 02:29:29 pm »

I really need someone else HELP on how to setup a SFML project on windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 community:
I am following a video and written guide on how to do this, but no luck yet.

I am adding my SFML include files (from a folder on C:\)
I am adding my lib files (from a folder on C:\)

This is the Error that I am getting – unable to start program the system cannot find the path specified.
If anyone have any kind of Help before I give up on this, I would really appreciate it please.
Thanks,
Chester

General / Trying to understand how SFML works:

« on: May 07, 2018, 12:48:15 am »

I am just beginning to learn at about C++:
1) Will SFML library work with Dev C++ 5.11?
2) I am using Visual Studio 2017 community.
3) I have tried the online CHAT but not able to get it started.
4) I am new with SFML could you please give me some advice and the best way to get started with Graphics?
