Title: sf::Clock start() and stop() functions
Post by: Edoren on April 13, 2014, 02:09:51 am

Hi  :),
I think that it will be really useful if you can stop and start the sf::Clock, I have implemented what I say https://github.com/edoren/SFML/commit/bbf03755be1d041aaffac01f4eca873d173bf359 (https://github.com/edoren/SFML/commit/bbf03755be1d041aaffac01f4eca873d173bf359), just tell me to make a pull request :D. So, what do you think guys?.

Added comments to the commit. I'd think again about the names for those members. :)

This has already been discussed before.

It's implemented in the Thor library if you want ;)

Where?, I searched before posting and I couldn't find any related post, sorry if it's duplicated :-\.

Yes, but it will be more useful if we can do this without using any external library, I think SFML can provide this functionality without problem.

I think I have to change the names, start() to resume() and stop() to pause(), as Mario said those current names are a little confusing.

Nothing prevents you from making this and putting it in the wiki. It's not a complicated thing, and in any case, Thor provides this. It is after all an SFML extension.
