Title: Multiple colors in a text using sf::String?
Post by: djzmo on October 03, 2010, 05:11:56 pm

Hello there,

Is it possible to give a text some different colors by just drawing a sf::String?

For example: Hello world!

The text will be dynamic and prolly long, so I cannot simply make string objects with different colors.

If no, can you tell me an alternative way to do that?

Thanks  :)

No, not with ONE sf::String/sf::Text. Use a container/class to store all your strings. (Take a look at the wiki, there may be something over there useful.)

I was going to happily spam that wiki entry, but you saw it first! Take care with the '\n' characters. To use multiple lines you should use a stl container or something similar.
