General / Re: Image Class Question

« on: January 07, 2013, 05:29:29 am »

I have not had any luck attempting to return a reference. I may be doing it wrong as my book does not explain references in this context, and it is a concept I have not completely grasped. Is there any good reference to this material?

When I started using SFML I had no idea there was a working SFML 2.0, so I started with 1.6. I just found out while doing research that 2.0 was available, I just have not made the switch. I plan on making the switch to SFML 2.0 soon! By the way, thank you for your help!

General / Image Class Question

« on: January 07, 2013, 04:30:42 am »

class Graphics
{

    public:

        Graphics();

        ~Graphics();


        sf::Sprite GetSprite(){return spriteBJtable;}
        sf::Image GetImage(){return BJtable;}


                void loadBJtable(std::string file)
                {
                        BJtable.LoadFromFile(file);
                }

                void sprite_loadBJtable(sf::Image& pic)
                {
                        spriteBJtable.SetImage(pic);
                        spriteBJtable.Resize(800,600);
                }


    private:

        sf::Image BJtable;
        sf::Sprite spriteBJtable;

};


 

I have been trying to work out a class that will handle my graphics. The issue that the image and sprite are staying private despite my return. After search around, I have run into similar code and tried some other methods; however, I have been met with a wall here. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I have just started learning classes, and the book does not show any other methods other than get and set. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Graphics / Re: Turn Based Game

« on: January 03, 2013, 10:24:19 am »

I have actually been using the boolean method to to show sprites at the correct time. Based on what you are saying, I think I need to take a new approach. My problem is this...

Code: [Select]

Initialize variables....

game loop {

(deal)
{
deal ()...
app.draw // the deal
}

(PlayerOne)
{
different actions...
app.draw //the actions
app.display
}
 

(PlayerTwo
{
different actions...
app.draw
app.display
}

if (n > 30) //n being the number of cards dealt out.
{
shuffle();
{
 } //end loop and go back to top

One of the actions Player One can make is splitting two cards of the same value. In order to split the cards, I need to move one of the app.draw's from the deal. The issue is that I cannot find a way to manipulate the card because it has already been drawn, and the loop will not get back til the next deal.

Thank you for the response by the way. I am in the process of switching back and forth from programming to digging into the book. I have much to learn about OOP.

I am currently using 1.6, but I will try out 2.0. I did not realize there was a release until after I was diving into 1.6.

Anyway, if you have any tips as to how I can approach this problem, that would be great!

Graphics / Turn Based Game

« on: January 03, 2013, 08:05:27 am »

I am relatively new to c++ and SFML. For the purpose of practice, I figured I would try to complete a blackjack program. The approach I have taken is simply (deal, check-for-blackjacks-player one turn- player two turn, etc..) I have a basic game working; however, when attempting to add an option to split, I have come across a problem. I cannot change the position of the original dealt cards because I do not run the App.Draw for it until the game-loop resets.

Is there a way to delete a single sprite without redrawing? Or a way to hide it behind the background? Or something to get rid of it without needing to make the game one giant loop? any help would be... helpful
