Feature requests / Re: Fill method for Image ?

« on: August 30, 2016, 09:45:22 pm »

SFML is inefficient because lot of parts of it are bloated with getters/setters

I beg to differ. If you take a look at the generated asm of an optimized build of the library + your application I think you'll be surprised how much of this "bloat" the compiler is actually able to strip away. If you can come up with a usecase/benchmark where this matters one iota in any realistic scenario, then I'll buy you a beer.

First of all you should probably use a

std::vector<uint8_t>

rather than a

std::string

for your data.

Second, you need to put your image data in there - a PNG image for example.

C / Re: How to release a sfml-program for several distribution?

1. Build your own sfml. 2. Build your executable with a RPATH that finds the library relative to the executable ($ORIGIN). 3. Package the library files alongside your executable in the expected location.

I'd say that should probably be

std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Slider>> sliders;

Here's a starting point : http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#tiles scroll down to the "Displaying Tiles" section and you'll find a bunch of isometeic related resources.

Use your debugger to find the root cause..

Maybe you should define "spike lag"...

You made up the term, now explain to us what it means. What exactly is a "spike lag"?

I didn't mean to discourage or incourage you. I simply wanted to point out that you are solving a solved problem. What you do from there is your own business.

Note that you can do the same thing (and more) with Imagemagick : http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#montage

That didn't actually help.

Could you describe the problem you are having and trying to solve.?

Benchmarking unoptimized builds is rather pointless. Re-run your test with optimizations enabled.
