General discussions / Switching to CMake

« on: June 24, 2010, 02:21:38 am »

Hi,

I have sadly seen many libraries for game development that were not updated for Visual C++ 2010 and that the automatic converter did not work on. However, with CMake, I have been able to update these older libraries for my compiler with no problems at all!
SFML, unfortunately, has the inability to work with Visual C++ 2010 Properly even though the converter does work on it.  I genuinely believe CMake support could fix this problem. I hope to see it in the next edition of SFML.

Feature requests / CMake

« on: June 23, 2010, 11:49:07 pm »

I would find it easier to use and build SFML if it had CMake Support for different IDE's/Compilers, considering I already had a bad experience with my Compiler and SFML (which CMake could have solved more quickly than what I did in the end), I would find it very helpful to have in the future.

General / Weird thing with Visual Studio

I followed the video, refreshed the linker and moved the new .dll's in but could not fix the problem. I also rebuilt the game.

General / Weird thing with Visual Studio

« on: June 16, 2010, 03:12:30 am »

I did link to the Debug versions for the Debug but did not (re)build the library for VC++2010. I used the Build folder to convert it, but am not sure what to replace or even if I really updated it. I also took note of the fact that every time I run the Debug Config the project rebuilds itself even if I just built it in the same config.

General / Weird thing with Visual Studio

« on: June 15, 2010, 03:16:38 am »

W00-H00! I got it to compile in both configurations! But it won't run. Debug says:

This Application has failed to start because the Application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the Application may fix the problem (yea right :roll:).For more details, please see the application event log

That's with Debug on. Off, the thing just crashes.
Here's release:

Unhandled exception at 0x766c1ca4 in Simple Rogue.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000002.
Break              Continue               Ignore

I am forced to break, and here's the odd line of code in some .c file causing problems:

Code: [Select]

 if (__native_startup_state == __initializing)
            {
                _initterm( __xc_a, __xc_z );//this one
                __native_startup_state = __initialized;
            }
I know this is sort of off-topic, but I need it to run my game! If anyone knows anything about this stuff, i would greatly appreciate it... (and probably stop complaining about Visual Studio on this Forum)

General / Weird thing with Visual Studio

« on: June 14, 2010, 10:46:49 pm »

I got this error when I was compiling SFML with Visual Studio, as both Debug and release, with the proper linking done and SFML_DYNAMIC added. I am using the Graphics and System Packages, but neither use nor link to the Window Package. here it is:

Code: [Select]

General / Text Box Input

« on: June 14, 2010, 02:01:50 am »

Hi, I want to know if there is a way to get text input in a manner similar to std::cin on a SFML window, in that there is a white box and as the player enters letters of a string, it shows them as they type, and when the player hits enter or another key it is saved as a string (either std, c-style or sf) for use later. I know how to do this with integration, but I would like to do it with raw SFML. Thanks!

Anyone? I still can't fix it. :oops:

General / Checking if something is near you with SFML

« on: June 06, 2010, 10:23:47 pm »

I am writing a Rougelike Game in C++ with SFML and want to know how to make it so that the game checks what object is up to 20 pixels above/below or 13 pixels left/right of you. Any code or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It gives an error when I run w/ debugging:

Where is the event log?

Graphics / Trying to write a program where you move a square...

« on: June 03, 2010, 11:19:24 pm »

Well, I got it to compile now   . But now, it crashes when I try to run it. I put the .dll's in the folder (system, graphics and window) and it  still crashed. So I replaced the linking with the -d versions of the .dll's and also replaced the .dll's. It now won't even start. How do I fix this? :oops:

Graphics / Trying to write a program where you move a square...

I am trying to write a simple program where you move a square around the screen. However, i got the following error when I tried to build it:

Code: [Select]

How can i fix this? I will give the code if needed.

General / Collision Detection

« on: June 02, 2010, 12:17:46 am »

Im trying to write a Roguelike Game for my first SFML project and want to know if it is possible to use collision detection. If so, how? If not, are there any 2D physics engine/libraries that this can be integrated with? thanks!

Window / Window Tutorial Troubles

« on: May 26, 2010, 02:15:39 am »

It compiled fine. I tried replacing the code with the OpenGL tutorial code, however, (to save adding dependencies) but got another problem, even with the 3 dependencies added.

General / Using SFML with Windows API

« on: May 26, 2010, 01:53:23 am »

I aim to create a 2D game with SFML, but I want to write some elements, mainly buttons, in the Windows API GUI design framework. Will the 2 work together? If so, how? Do I insert the SFML content in an API-made Window or vice versa, or something else entirely? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
