Title: Moving the sf::View at the same rate that the player moves
Post by: Clockwork on July 06, 2014, 11:27:21 pm

I want to make a sidescroller, but I ran into the problem where it seems unnecessarily complicated to get the camera to move at the same rate as the player.  If I do this:

view.move(sf::Vector2f(Speed, 0.f));

The camera moves significantly faster than the player, how can I match them up?

Why not just...

view.setCenter(player.getPosition());

That's what I love about programming, there's always a better way to solve a problem.

Thanks, I was over-thinking it again.
