Window / Re: Window not showing anymore

« on: October 25, 2020, 11:17:05 am »

The issue was in fact related to my misuse of "new". I was saving the pointer into a class that granted global access, similarly to a singleton:

------
Renderer.h
#pragma once
#include "SFML\Graphics\RenderWindow.hpp"

extern sf::RenderWindow* g_window;
-------
-------
Renderer.cpp
#include "Renderer.h"

sf::RenderWindow* g_window;
-------

However, I was forgetting to delete the instance when closing the program. I imagine that after a number of times there was too much leaked memory. Simply had to restart my PC.

Window / Window not showing anymore

« on: October 25, 2020, 02:09:51 am »

My window won't appear anymore. It used to work, I could already see and move around sprites, but for no apparent reason now my program won't get past the very first line:


int main()
{
    g_window = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(1080, 720), "MyGame");
    // ...never reaches here


If I put code before that line with a breakpoint, it works. But as soon as it reaches that line, it's like an infinite loop... And the window never appears.
