Hi there,
I downloaded the nightly build from the following
url: http://www.nightlybuilds.ch/project/show/2/Thor/
commit: 949f79ebcf10e85656d9c9d5e81faf7a6cf68dfd

I put the content into: C:\Thor

Then I opened the properties of my project and added the thor libraries:

http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3801/dgx9vsmm_jpg.htm

Did I miss something?

I tried to include Thor. Visual Studio now knows the thor library, but if I excecute my game it tells me that it isn't able to find the thor-d.dll. How could I fix this?

If I copy the file into my project folder I get an "Entry Point Not Found" exception

Ok thanks a lot. Ill try the library, because it supports the particle system I need =)
To include the library into my projekt I have to do the same as I did with SFML, right?

Thanks for the advice using thor. I did the cmake, but I can't compile the files. I get the following error: msb6006 code 3.
Could anyone pls compile and upload this library?

I use SFML 2.1 and VS2013, Windows 8.1

Thanks a lot

Hi there,
I'm new to sfml and created a little break out game. It's very basic and therefor I want to pimp it with some explosions. I thought about creating a little particle system to simulate a explosion of the breaks. Then I found the spar engine, which seems to be a very powerful engine for particle purposes....

Please could you tell me, what the common way in sfml to create explosions is? Sprites or bigger systems like spark?

thx a lot.

haha  because they don't know how to solve the problem. I'll review my code and I'll have a look at the link you posted.

it's not a thread like sf::Thread, it's just the while(window.isOpen()) loop =)

General / moving a ball over the window

« on: October 16, 2014, 05:35:52 pm »

Hi there,
for my studies I have to program a simple game. There for I chose "Break out" and sfml. I created a class ball and reset the position:

void Ball::ResetPosition(int windowWidth, int windowHeight)
{
        _moveToX = -1.f;
        _moveToY = -1.f;
        float distanceToGround = 10.f;
        float ballPositionX = windowWidth / 2.f;
        float ballPositionY = windowHeight - _paddleSize.y - distanceToGround - (_ball.getSize().y) - 4;
        _ball.setPosition(ballPositionX, ballPositionY);
}

For collision testing I don't want to move the ball randomly on the screen. There for I created to variables, the first one is for the movement direction to the x-axis and the second one for the y-axis.

My game thread calls from now on the function MoveBall:

void Ball::MoveBall()
{
        _ball.move(_moveToX, _moveToX);
}

The idea was the following... If I set the direction to -1,-1 the ball would move towards to the left corner of my window. If I change the direction to 1 and -1 it would move to the right side of the window.

My problem now is, that the ball doesn't behave like expected:

vector	direction
1, 1	down
-1, -1	left
-1, 1	left
1, -1	down

Is there something I wrong with my code? Or has the ball possibly a own coord system?
