Image is in:-
Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\Images
The working directory is the project directory.
Why isn't this working? I've tried Images '//' and '\\' and '/' and '\' but none is working, the program displays a black window instead,could anyone please help?
Have you tried the fully-qualified path?:
if (!texture.loadFromFile("C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/My Documents/Visual Studio 2013/Projects/ConsoleApplication1/ConsoleApplication1/Images/catz.png"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;
If that works, it's a problem with it looking in the wrong folder.
If it doesn't (and you're certain that the fully-qualified path is correct), then the file may be corrupt (or unsupported).
p.s. I find it odd that you're using the ConsoleApplication project to draw to a graphical window ;D
p.p.s. Consider creating an empty project to start with.
Most likely because you're not adjusting the texture rect of the sprite.
I was thinking that too but I looked again and it seems that the texture is set (after loading) on a sprite that had no previous texture so should automatically adjust the rectangle.
