« on: March 12, 2010, 11:51:49 pm »

How can i check the right of the view, i'm using the getcenter but that only gets the center well i want it before, before the user even sees the background. How could i do this?

Thanks,

Well, how about comparing the view's position to the position and size of the background sprite? Remember to account for the view's size, as well, if you need that.

How can I get the position of the view? since getPosition isn't in View Class.

Increase/decrease the velocity? Use an if statement? :idea:

If you don't know how to react to keyboard input, you should read the tutorials.

I have, this is what i got so far...

Code: [Select]

if (App.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::D))
{
if(player.getEnergy()>100)
{
if(player.getPositionX()!= (game.getWidth()- 100))
 {
  player.Move(subVelocity * elapsedTime);
  player.setEnergy(player.getEnergy()-1);
 }
}
}

But everytime I try and use + or -, it starts having errors. Is there a better way?

[Edit]Doesn't Matter, done it now. Wow some really noobish errors in that coding. Haha, Thanks for the help.

Well I'm doing a submarine that moves across so I used

Code: [Select]

player.Move(subVelocity * elapsedTime);

To move it across but how can I add or subtact to make it go faster or slower when the user press a key?

Thanks,

how can I move string text with the view?

Draw it with another view that doesn't move. window.GetDefaultView() should be ok for that.

Thanks.

Got it working how can i found out when the view goes past the background sprite.

Ok, so i set a new view up at beginning, set the centre of the view and do i move the view inside the game loop? also do i have to draw the view at the end.

Sorry for some of these noobish questions lol. Still learning this multimedia library.

The user is a submarine that goes up and down but only increases it's velocity left to right either faster or slower. While the background scrolls from right to left as the game goes on.

Just thinking how to get the background scrolling using one background image but only showing so much at a time.

Thanks,
