General / Getting around automatic key-pauses?

You don't have to put

Code: [Select]

if (Input.IsKeyDown(sf::Key::Left))
Game.player->Move("Left");

within the Get Event loop. You can use it outside of that loop. I imagine that would fix your problem.

Not sure what to say then, it should work.

I would create another project, enter all the linker settings and try again. If that still doesn't work, I would download vs 2008, and try using the precompiled version of SFML.

Graphics / Variables as colors

Yes, it should be possible.

It would also only take like two seconds to test it yourself.

The code I posted is from the first graphics tutorial. I guess its not technically the first tut.

Anyway, I'm guessing you have some linking problems. That was what I struggled with at first. (I was also getting unresolved external)

I'll just go through the linking steps again. I have vs 2008, but it should work in the same way in vs 2010.

Go to View/ "Your Project Name" Properties. (You can also press ALT + f7 in vs2008).

Go to
Configuration Properties
C/C++
Preprocessor
Add SFML_DYNAMIC to the end of "Preprocessor Definitions"

Go to
Configuration Properties
Linker
Input
Add "sfml-window-d.lib sfml-graphics-d.lib sfml-system-d.lib" into "Additional dependencies".


Make sure you have all the required .dll files in your project folder.

That should be it. I assumed you already added the folder locations for for Visual C++ to find. (I'm referring to the first part of this tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php )

Maybe try running the code from one of the tutorials?

Here's the code from the first tut.

Code: [Select]


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");

    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                App.Close();

            // A key has been pressed
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed)
            {
                // Escape key : exit
                if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape)
                    App.Close();

                // F1 key : capture a screenshot
                if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::F1)
                {
                    sf::Image Screen = App.Capture();
                    Screen.SaveToFile("screenshot.jpg");
                }
            }
        }

        // Clear the screen with red color
        App.Clear(sf::Color(200, 0, 0));

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I'm new to SFML so maybe I'm missing something, but in your code I noticed you used sf::window App(...); Shouldn't it be sf::RenderWindow App(...) ?

Also not sure what the WINAPI WinMain (...) stuff is, but as I said I'm a very new to SFML and programming.
