Title: Can I do this on a pc without OpenGL?
Post by: Chrupiter on May 06, 2015, 05:46:23 pm: I'm preparing a school project, in this project I use sfml to draw with the mouse (like paint) on a 200x200 window, the problem is that school's computers don't have OpenGL, is it possible to do what I want to without it?

SFML depends on OpenGL.
No OpenGL; no SFML.

Otherwise SFML is based on OpenGL, thus you can't use the graphics (and possibly the window) module. Instead you might want to use something else (e.g. on Windows GDI+ or DirectX).

Computers have win8 installed, but teachers never cared to check OpenGL drivers, they actually like it this way so that students can't play games.
The error is like "An internal OpenGL call failed in Texture.cpp".
