General discussions / Dynamic lights on SFML, is it possible?

« on: February 13, 2014, 03:07:29 am »

Hello everybody!

As I mentioned in other post, I'm starting a new game dev career and I'm using SFML as main library. So I have a question, is it possible to use dynamic lights on SFML? As an example, I want to have a light bulb that turns on and of and lights all around, even the main character, how is that possible? Is there some documentation for that? do I need another library such as D3D or OpenGL for that? It will be a 2D game of course.

Thanks so much!

General discussions / Is SFML right for me?

Hello everybody, I'm happy to be around this forums.

I'm starting a new game dev career and I want to create games in C++, a language I love to use, even thought I still don't have that much experience, but I'm working on it.

But I have a problem, I'm jumping the net to look for the best library I can use to make my games. I found SFML very attractive but I want to know if it is the correct one for me? I want to develop 2D platform games with many animations like the good old Flashback or Another World.

Thanks so much everybody.
