Looks awesome!

I actually played and tested it. Works fine. Nice project!

Screenshots look nice indeed.

And I agree with zsbzsb and would advise you to redesign the game using separate classes for separate functionalities. e.g., a Paddle class, a Ball class, a Game class and so on. And when you compare the two codes, you'll see the difference

Here's a good link for achieving a fixed FPS : http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/

Wonderful! Excellent! I'm out of words

(really, trust me!)

I'm curious to know how you made the WIP updater transparent (i.e., how's that it's not in a window and appears like an image)?

Best of luck to you and your team.

That's okay then, your application is simple and using system() won't mean the end of the world,I just wanted to point it out if you didn't knew ...

Yea, thanks!

But I still have two more small critics left - include a descrption of the controls(rather than the user having to guess which key does what) and also the fix the aim option('R' button press). The aim works too smoothly

I tried to build the src and it does compile without throwing any warnings or errors

But during the gameplay, pressing 'H' key causes this:

and this:

Apart from that the gameplay is really very smooth.

You shouldn't be using system() call , it's bad practice , here's why.

Yes sir, I know that using system() is a bad practice and had already gone through the article you gave me sometime ago.

If you want to clear console , you can do these.

I've read that article also. Well I didn't want to use boost(since I'd have to use its addstr() and getnstr() functions and can't use std::cout and std::cin simultaneously). I'd also tried creating a clearScreen() function that'd print multiple newlines but I couldn't really get it to work neatly. I need to clear the screen only when the code is compiled in the terminal mode(i.e., without using SFML).

If any observation of mine in the previous facts are erroneous, please correct me.

And why aren't you using sf::sleep() ?

I've tried to create two versions in one program - one, the simple console version that does not require SFML and the other, the SFML version. So, in case someone compiles the terminal version(assuming he's not installed SFML), using sf::Sleep() won't help. If you can give me a better alternative than this, it's welcome.

Everything else looks good.

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Yea this would be useful and save space in our monitors too

I entirely support this idea.

Hello Programmers!

I just wrote a simple clone of the famous Conway's Game of Life as a programming practice. You can find the source here. To compile the code for the SFML version, add the preprocessor RENDERER_SFML. Or else the program will compile the terminal version.

Below are a few screenshots:
