SFML projects / Re: [.NET] SFGL - Simple and fast game library
« on: February 21, 2014, 07:59:26 pm »I'm sorry this might sound rude, but let me get this straight. You copy and pasted in some NetEXT code and copy pasted in SFML.NET rectangle/vector classes all for the sake of "not confusing the user". Then you reinvent the wheel with your own drawable class (which looks more like an update class) all for the sake of trying to write a self contained library that hides what the library really doing internally for your little game dev community.
You also claim that the GUI used by your library is your own advanced code when you are really using Gwen. This really should be clarified, "Our GUI library makes endless possibilities in making of GUI for your own game" is extremely misleading.
To sum it up, you do your best to write your own library that hides the internal implementations from the user and prevents them from using the internal implementation directly in their own code. But at the same time you come to the community that powers your library and ask them to try your code that broken with the original library because you decided to copy and paste in code.
Not too good in my opinion, you can do what you want with the way you take my above comments. Remember its only the way I see it, but I don't plan on using any of your code since because as stated above, is broken with other libraries.
What I really would suggest you do is, #1 change the name - SFGL doesn't make much sense and is confusing, not to mention we just had this discussion over Lololilight's lib #2 don't re-implement other libraries code in your own library just because being self contained seems neat - in the end it just causes more headaches.
Oh and since you are up to 3 different "game engines" now I suggest you read the following link.

As first, I have all credits there. Second, I wanted to inherit that classes and just add functionality there, but for some reason, ihneriting structures is not possible. And in header of that 2 classes, I have that it is code from SFML. And no, I am not claiming that that GUI is mine, i have written in my release package on git that it is not my GUI library and that I am planning to write my own. But I understand what do you mean. And thanks for that link, I will surely read it. And, I am working on this lib as base for my game on what I am working on with some friends, here are few examples of it:
). Less code == More fun.
