Hi, I am a total noob to C++ and SFML but I desparately want to learn. I am familiar with OOP but definitely not that great at it. I was hoping that someone could provide a basic example of a class that inherits from Drawable and uses the virtual draw function to display a simple sprite with a main.cpp driver to show it in action. I have a hard time learning if I don't have a concrete example to go by. I've been reading just about everything that I can find on how to do this but I am struggling to grasp the concepts.
Ultimately, I am required to build a class that stores sprite data, texture, and xy coordinates to draw moveable sprites to the target window for school. I have to implement the private virtual draw function from my class that inherits from Drawable.
If someone could show me a basic simple functional example if its not too much to ask for, then I am sure that I can figure it out.

Have you seen the sf::Drawable example in the documentation (https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.5.1/classsf_1_1Drawable.php#details)?

There's also the TileMap example (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/graphics-vertex-array.php#example-tile-map).

Keep in mind that the goal of school work is that you actually do it yourself and not just copy & paste a solution or let other people solve things for you.
Secondly, your teacher/prof/assistant are being paid to help you, so you should make use of it, instead of asking people to invest their unpaid free time in helping you. ;)

Thanks Dad, I figured it out. I finally found some info where I was able to determine that the draw function was indeed a pure virtual function. Once I discovered this I knew what to do. Way easier than I envisioned. I laugh at it now.
