Hello Geheim, thanks so much for your answer!

Man the links are great! I can see that there is some work done with the Let there be Light add-on, I will dig more into it, but I wish I can to my own work: do you have other articles I can learn more about it?

Thanks once again man, let's keep in touch!

General discussions / Dynamic lights on SFML, is it possible?

« on: February 13, 2014, 03:07:29 am »

Hello everybody!

As I mentioned in other post, I'm starting a new game dev career and I'm using SFML as main library. So I have a question, is it possible to use dynamic lights on SFML? As an example, I want to have a light bulb that turns on and of and lights all around, even the main character, how is that possible? Is there some documentation for that? do I need another library such as D3D or OpenGL for that? It will be a 2D game of course.

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much people for answering my question.

I'm really happy with your answers, seems that SFML has a great community with a lot of proactive people!

If you also use Thor, you have to write a bit less

I was looking at this Thor library and seems really interesting, specially if I want to use sprites and animations within SFML, can you please tell me more about it?

Thanks once again for your kindly responses.

Hello everybody, I'm happy to be around this forums.

I'm starting a new game dev career and I want to create games in C++, a language I love to use, even thought I still don't have that much experience, but I'm working on it.

But I have a problem, I'm jumping the net to look for the best library I can use to make my games. I found SFML very attractive but I want to know if it is the correct one for me? I want to develop 2D platform games with many animations like the good old Flashback or Another World.

Thanks so much everybody.
