Of course they're available. And I don't see how this is related to SFML in the slightest...

Alternative is always Object* and take care of the delete by yourself.

I addition to what the others said: Is your compiler c++11 ready?

it's visual studio 2015, so yes, it is compatible. As someone else already said, smart pointers have been in visual c++ since vs2012.
