Graphics / Should I re-position a graphical text in the dead center again

« on: July 16, 2022, 12:12:32 pm »

Should I re-position a graphical text in the dead center again, which I previously do, after editing the text of the graphical text, recalculate its new center origin of the text? I did see that with a new origin, the text automatically applied to whatever the previous x and y were. Does it a wasteful thing to add another duplicate line of code to set it in the dead center?

// Draw some text
Text messageText;

// Assign the actual message
messageText.setString("Press Enter to start!");

// Position the text
FloatRect textRect = messageText.getLocalBounds();

messageText.setOrigin(textRect.left +
    textRect.width / 2.0f,
    textRect.top +
    textRect.height / 2.0f);
   
messageText.setPosition(1920 / 2.0f, 1080 / 2.0f);

/ has the player been squished by a branch?
if (branchPositions[5] == playerSide)
{
    // Change the text of the message
    messageText.setString("SQUISHED!!");

    // Center it on the screen
    FloatRect textRect = messageText.getLocalBounds();
    messageText.setOrigin(textRect.left +
        textRect.width / 2.0f,
        textRect.top +
        textRect.height / 2.0f);

    messageText.setPosition(1920 / 2.0f, 1080 / 2.0f);  // Should I add do this line of code?
}
