Title: Different Drawing Areas?
Post by: alx123 on April 23, 2010, 11:46:55 pm

Hi everyone.

I'm a beginner in graphics programming and in SFML, and I wanted to know how would you define different areas for a game.

In the game i`m making(Breakout clone) I would like something like this.

Thanks for your time

Well, i would simply draw the sprites in the game area, and the text stuff in the box right to the game area... What are you curious about, exactly?

For the game area, you could use one or multiple sf::View, defining the viewport (with values between 0 and 1).

For your HUD elements, just draw them on the screen in the default view.
