General / Visual Studio 2010 Errors When Trying To Build SFML 2.1

« on: July 08, 2014, 04:27:13 am »

Hello,

I am trying to build SFML 2.1 from the source for Visual Studio 2010. I have successfully completed it for Code::Blocks and I have been using that but I would like to start using Visual Studio.

When I try to configure the build commands using:

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE -D STATIC_STD_LIBS=FALSE c:/sfml/

I get lots of error output. I am using the visual studio command prompt. I am using cmake 2.8.4 and I have added the cmake to the path in the enviroment variables.

I can't figure out what my problem is. Any advice will help.

I have attached an screenshot of my error that I get. Please help!

Thanks

From what I have learned previously while programming calling the playerSprite.setPosition(position); function every update doesn't seem very fast to me.

I will run a profiler and see if what kind if results I get.

Thanks for the help and advice.

General / More optimized way to move?

« on: May 04, 2014, 11:10:13 pm »

Hello,

I was wondering if their is a more optimized way to do this?

I know about the playerSprite,move(position); function but it doesn't do what I want it to.

This code works just fine and the movement is smooth but just by looking at it calling the playerSprite.setPosition(); every update call doesn't seem very fast to me. IDK maybe that is the fastest way to do it.

void Player::update(float delta)
{
    if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::W) || sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up))
    {
        position.y -= Player::VELOCITY * delta;
    }
    else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::S) || sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down))
    {
        position.y += Player::VELOCITY * delta;
    }

    playerSprite.setPosition(position);
}
