Title: Rotating View
Post by: Wander on September 07, 2010, 05:15:00 am

I've been trying to figure out a way to rotate an entire view without manually rotating EVERY single object inside the view. There are no member functions for it, so I was wondering if someone knew about some other way.

Crap. When does SFML 2.0 come out of BETA?

Only Laurent knows :)

But right now it's very usable and stable. I'm using it and have found no problems so far.

Oh okay. Where can I get it?

EDIT: Well, rather where do I get it and how do I install it. I'm sure that it isn't the same installation method.

Well, I don't know in windows, but the jist of it is that you have to install a program called cmake to compile it yourself. You can download the source code for sfml2 here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php

I'd be happy to know that, but unfortunately I don't... ;)

haha!

Am I supposed to download the GNU Tarball?

EDIT: If so... how do I open a .gz file?

winzip will do it (or winrar, etc...). You'll have a .tar to unzip again ;)

No, use 7-zip. It's free, and supports nearly all popular compression formats.
