General / SFML 2.0 on Visual Studio 2010 64Bit

« on: September 26, 2012, 02:44:41 pm »

Hey,
I need SFML 2.0 to run on a project with Visual Studio 2010 that is compiled on 64 Bit systems...

Are there any precompiled libraries I can use for that?

Or do I have to compile them myself? And if I need so, how do I do that?

I already asked google, but I haven't found an answer. It is very important for me to have a fast solution for this problem.

thank you for your time!

Graphics / Creating your own drawable objects

« on: September 07, 2012, 04:23:10 pm »

Hello,
I am just a beginner in C++ and even more a beginner in SFML. I use SFML 2.0 with Visual Studio 2010.

For a project I need to paint 3 objects. (2 coordinatesystems, 1 scale).
I wanted to create a class for each object and than I wanted to draw the object on my window.

I created a window with this

 
main(){
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

// I had something in mind like doing this:

zControl zCon;                      // zControl is the scale class I want to print
xyControl xyCon;                  // xyControl is on coord System I want to draw
angleControl angleCon;       // angleControl is the orther coord System I want to draw

... // do some other stuff

window.draw(zCon);
window.draw(xyCon);
window.draw(angleCon);

... // do other stuff
}

One class is called  zControl, this should be one of the objects, I want to draw.

class zControl : public sf::Shape
{
public:
        zControl(void);
        ~zControl(void);
};
 

I thought that if I inherit from Shape could be a useful Idea, but I do not really know how to do it. I know the basics of abstract classes, but I have no idea how to realize it.

Unfortunately I do understand the tutorials, but there is not explained how to solve my problems.
The Tutorials just show me how to paint Rectangles, Strings, Circles, etc...
I assume it is pretty basic, but I tried a lot of things now for a long time and nothing seems to work.
