Title: How to move shape?
Post by: majkelolo on August 30, 2017, 08:49:11 pm

My shape doesn't want move. When I press left or right arrow, it tells me that the key was pressed, but shape is still in his starting position.

Should you not be setting "leftIsPressed" to false if it isn't pressed, same for right. Are they being initialised? Chances are that they are randomly being assigned true (anything but zero) if not.

You don't actually need these booleans as they serve the same purpose as isKeyPressed (you can use that directly in playerControl). However, if you still want to use them, assign them directly thus:

leftIsPressed = sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left);
rightIsPressed = sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right);

If you want them to be exclusive, you can simply add:

if (leftIsPressed)
    rightIsPressed = false;
