General / Collision Problem

« on: April 24, 2017, 04:35:52 am »

Accidentally posted this on the wrong board earlier today.  Sorry about that

I keep getting strange error from Visual Studio when I try to add collision detection to my game.  There errors all look like similar to this:
"...sfml\graphics\rect.inl(114): error C2589: '(': illegal token on right side of '::'"
I'm doing collision detection in the exact same way I've always done it, and trying other methods doesn't work either. 
Relevant Code:
if (isCollide(spr, spr2)) {
                        std::cout << "You win!!!! \n";
                }
bool isCollide(sf::Sprite spr1, sf::Sprite spr2) {
        return spr1.getGlobalBounds().intersects(spr2.getGlobalBounds());
}
 

I was wondering if it's an issue with how I set up SFML in VS...

Graphics / Re: Font problem

Make sure it compiles successfully and that you run the new executable and not the old one.

Already thought of it.  I'm not that dumb

Graphics / Font problem

« on: April 23, 2017, 09:58:33 am »

So originally in my new project I was using arial, but I switched to another font.  But for some reason it won't register the change I made.  It keeps saying "Failed to load font "arial.ttf" (failed to create the font face)" despite the fact that I changed the code, the files, etc.  I've tried moving the font files, deleting various files that visual studio generates, and I've made zero progress. 
Using VS17

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
/**
Main, has the game loop
*/
int main() {
        // Making the window
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1776, 1000), "Axis of Evil");
        window.setFramerateLimit(30);

        sf::Font fnt;
        if (!fnt.loadFromFile("cr.ttf")) {
                std::cout << "Could not load font\n";
        }

        /*
        Game loop
        */
        while (window.isOpen()) {
                // Allows the window to be closeable
                sf::Event e;
                while (window.pollEvent(e)) {
                        if (e.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }
                // Hides the console
                //HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
                //ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE);






                // Drawing to the SFML window
                window.clear();
                window.display();
        }
        return 0;
}

 

All of the code for my proj so far.

General / Problem with a sprite

« on: March 14, 2017, 03:10:52 am »

Fairly new to SFML and I was trying to make a simple 2d shooter without using classes.  So instead I started using arrays, yet I can't get the laser beams/bullets to work right.  Here's all the relevant code

sf::Sprite sLasor[ARRAY_LENGTH];
int lasorCounter = 0;

if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space) && frameCounter > 30){
            lasorCounter++;
            frameCounter = 0;
            sLasor[lasorCounter].setPosition(fArwing.x + 65, fArwing.y);
        }
        if (lasorCounter >= 19){
            lasorCounter = 0;
        }
 if(sLasor[lasorCounter].getPosition().y > 0){
            sLasor[lasorCounter].move(0, -5);
        }
window.draw(sLasor[lasorCounter]);
 

The problem is that every time I press space, the lasers reset and the one I shot earlier just disappears.  If I don't shoot another one the bullet will continue going until it exits the screen.

General / Re: Can't quite get it to work in Linix

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

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

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

It's literally just the code SFML has you use to test if it works
I would like to add that I was able to get this to work on windows in the past with Code Blocks and MINGW.  Now I can't get it to work on Linux with CodeBlocks and GCC.  I followed the instructions on how to get it working on CodeBlocks exactly.

General / Can't quite get it to work in Linix

« on: March 11, 2017, 07:21:38 am »

I've almost got SFML working on my linux computer, but every time I test my code the window pops up for a second and immediately disappears.  I've tried messing around with the build settings as much as possible and there are no errors at compile-time.  All help is appreciated.
