Graphics / Re: MacOS Build and Windows Build has a Difference when Drawing Rectangle on Screen

Ah, kojack, you were right. When I instantiate the window in my source code, I just set it to 1920x1080. I need to do some digging to see what that actually means across different native resolution screens.

I also need to look into what views are 

Thanks, y'all!

Graphics / [SOLVED] MacOS Build and Windows Build has a Difference when Drawing Rectangle

« on: May 13, 2024, 08:42:50 pm »

I am learning SFML by making Pong. My project is set up to build on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. I currently build on all 3 on every PR (thanks SFML template).

I also test on Windows and MacOS. I have made an odd observation, and I am not sure if it's an error on my side, or something funny going on with MacOS.

Below is a Windows screenshot, and both of the player and enemy paddles are perfectly aligned:


Below is a MacOS screenshot of the same build:


Some of the interesting observations:

• Dividing Lane is perfectly down the middle
• Both Player and Enemy paddles are shifted to the right

Below is the code snipped that determines the position of both paddles:

Player::Player(bool main_player, const float& width, const float& length)
        : _main_player{ main_player }, _width{ width }, _length{ length }, _size(_width, _length), _rect(_size)
{
    float x_pos_from_side = 200.f;

    float centered_y_pos = 0.5f * (_window_y_size - _length);
    float x_pos = _main_player ? x_pos_from_side : _window_x_size - x_pos_from_side - _width;

    _rect.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(x_pos, centered_y_pos));
}
