Title: Restart Game
Post by: SirForce on June 04, 2009, 02:55:04 pm

Hello,

after a long time of doing a lot of stuff except programing, I´m back :)
Now I have a new computer and have everything set up new. I found in ne SFML dev-pack the source for an little pong game (quite funny) and wanted to add a few things, like a Gameloop. Because it´s really annoying to resart the whole game for a new round.

My problem is that I don´t know how to make it.
When now the game is finished, the source look like this

Code: [Select]

if (Ball.GetPosition().x < 0.f)
{
IsPlaying = false;
End.SetText("You lost !\n(press escape to exit)");
}

Ok, that IsPlaying = false; is the problem. I tried something like this:

Code: [Select]

Ball.SetPosition(400.f, 300.f);
sf::Sleep(0.5f);
Ball.Move(std::cos(BallAngle) * Factor, std::sin(BallAngle) * Factor);

But this doesn´t work.
I don´t no where the problem is - when the ball reachs one side of the screen, I set him into the middle and he moves again till he reaches one side of the screen.

So, does anybody know how solve this problem?

   
thanks in advance

probably no one could or want to help me. this is a little bit pity, because this isn´t a very big problem and I need just a little help :)

Post the full source if you don't mind (and it's not that lengthy). It's easier for us to find the problem.

Ok sorry, you are right!
I got the code from the SFML doc.

Basically, you would just look what value all variables have at the beginning of the program and on restart restore these values.
