Window / Poll Events

« on: November 20, 2016, 02:57:32 pm »

Hi guys, can someone please explain to me as simply as you can how pollEvents work, im struggling to understand them, like, i get the rest of the code, just not the pollEvent part

thanks



while (gameWindow.isOpen())
   {
      sf::Event event;

      while (gameWindow.pollEvent(event))
      {
         if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            gameWindow.close();
      }

   
      gameWindow.display();
   }

General / Learning sfml and have a question

« on: November 19, 2016, 05:26:28 am »

Im currently learning SFML and im reading SFML Game Development and within the book it shows that i should run the game in a game class which has the methods
 public:
   Game();
   void Run();
   
private:
   void ProcessEvents();
   void Update();
   void Render();


now im also watching youtube tutorials and the tutorials are showing just having it all run in the main function,

which should i be doing?

thanks
