Graphics / Re: Framerate drops to 11fps when I draw a tilemap

« on: November 11, 2013, 04:58:42 pm »

That is exactly what I'm getting and when I  do 1/elapsedTime I'm getting 11fps like I said earlier... Why is the framerate dropping so much?

}

 

I'm drawing the map bigger than the screen because i wanted to include scrolling later but even after i shorten the map i get the same prblem

Graphics / Framerate drops to 11fps when I draw a tilemap

« on: November 11, 2013, 02:35:46 pm »

Hi

I went to the tutorials section of SFML 2.1 and in the "Designing your own entities with vertex arrays" tutorial they demonstrate how to create and draw a tilemap. So I implemented it exactly as it is. Changed nothing. But when I draw the framerate drops to 11fps. Has anyone else ecountered a problem where the framerate droped? I set the screen to 800x600 and the bigger the screen the worse the framerate drop. If you experienced this, how did you resolve it?

Noted. This I way much better than the nothing I was going on. Will make the necessary adjustments... thank you again

General / [SOLVED]Loading a texture using Physfs

« on: October 18, 2013, 06:59:48 pm »

I'm a noob so forgive me if this question has already been asked. Suppose I have a texture sprite.png in a zip file myZip.zip and I wanna grab it using Physfs and load it into a sf::Texture. Is this possible? if so, which Physfs function does this?
