Title: Drawing text onto an image?
Post by: Metapyziks on December 28, 2009, 05:51:45 pm

Is it currently possible to draw from a sf::String onto a sf::Image?

I have a lot of tiles in my game which can have numbers written on them, but having lots of sf::Strings being drawn at once can slow it down a lot. If I could use a sf::Image as a buffer and draw the strings to it only when they change, I could speed the game up greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Not currently, only in SFML 2.

Ok, thanks. Is SFML2 available through the SVN? I think its time for me to upgrade.

Thanks again, and thanks for SFML too! Really great library for easy game design.

Hmm, when I try to use TortoiseSVN to download it, I get this error:

Code: [Select]

Repository moved temporarily to '/viewvc/sfml/branches/sfml2/'; please relocate

What should I do?

Whoops, I should have looked around more. Thanks for your help once again
