Graphics / Re: Object class that inherits from Drawable and implements virtual draw

« on: February 26, 2019, 06:53:41 am »

Thanks Dad, I figured it out.  I finally found some info where I was able to determine that the draw function was indeed a pure virtual function.  Once I discovered this I knew what to do.  Way easier than I envisioned.  I laugh at it now.

Graphics / Sprite.getSize() ??? Is there a way to do this for 2.5

« on: February 26, 2019, 06:41:38 am »

I am trying to have the size of a sprite returned so that I can change the origin to center/center but I am not sure how to do this in SFML 2.5. I was told that getSize() was depricated in 1.6.  Any idea how to achieve this?  Thanks.

Graphics / Object class that inherits from Drawable and implements virtual draw

« on: February 25, 2019, 02:49:58 am »

Hi, I am a total noob to C++ and SFML but I desparately want to learn.  I am familiar with OOP but definitely not that great at it.  I was hoping that someone could provide a basic example of a class that inherits from Drawable and uses the virtual draw function to display a simple sprite with a main.cpp driver to show it in action.  I have a hard time learning if I don't have a concrete example to go by.  I've been reading just about everything that I can find on how to do this but I am struggling to grasp the concepts.
Ultimately, I am required to build a class that stores sprite data, texture, and xy coordinates to draw moveable sprites to the target window for school.  I have to implement the private virtual draw function from my class that inherits from Drawable.
If someone could show me a basic simple functional example if its not too much to ask for, then I am sure that I can figure it out.
