Title: Map loading API
Post by: MrOnlineCoder on July 06, 2016, 11:18:47 pm

Hello. Will be map loading API included in SFML? I mean like reading from .tmx files, or just binary or text files.
Thanks.

I say with quite some certainty that it wouldn't be included in SFML.

What would a multimedia library want of loading specific game data structures? Loading binary and text files is a rather standard and basic procedure in C++. Maybe this tutorial (http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/) will help you :)

Yeah, don't count too much on that. You can have a look at this document (http://www.sfml-dev.org/contribute.php#general-considerations) to get a broader idea of what SFML aims for. ;)

Also, have a look at the wiki, there might already be some stuff for that over there.
