Graphics / is there a way in the library to make this more efficient?

« on: December 24, 2022, 08:58:12 pm »

   I'm planning on adding a text-highlighting feature to my little project, (I wrote one before, but it was spaghetti code and very buggy)
I started with   
 

case sf::Event::MouseButtonReleased:
    {
    if(sf::Mouse::getPosition(MaWind).y != Mcoords[1]||sf::Mouse::getPosition(MaWind).x != Mcoords[0])
    {
//Mcoords[0] is the x pos stored from the mouse button being clicked and you get it for Mcoords[1]
    }
    }

but then I realized having to check an if-statement every time the mouse button seems rather inefficient, is there a way i should be doing it other than this or this is the best possible?

Window / How to get unicode to be typed through sf::TextEntered

« on: September 24, 2022, 07:46:49 am »

I want to be able to get Unicode letters e.g: ∏ by typing alt + 8719 like possible in Wordpad, but it doesn't seem to work using the default instead it turns into ☼(15), why does it reset after 256?, and is there a way to do what I want in the standard lib?
