Hey, I have been reading thru the Advanced book (btw great stuff both Advanced and the basic). My question is about a particle system. I am beginner at coding and def not an artist. Can anyone share their examples of some fine graphical effect using the system?

General discussions / Rendering to outside of a window possible?

« on: April 15, 2025, 05:36:46 pm »

hello,
I am a beginner so appologies for, maybe trival, question.

Does SFML, by default, render an object to a window whereby an object is positioned outside of the window's frame?

I mean, lets have a tiny sprite at position Vector2f(-1000.f,-1000.f) and my window is atVec2(0,0).
If I say, (sf::RenderWindow) window.draw (sprite) in my game loop, is it going to be still "rendered"? Obviously I am not gonna see it anyway but would the CPU/GraphicsCard procesing power still be used for this task?

If positive, than I guess I ll have to make sure first, whether the sprite intersects with the window rect, and only if positive, let it draw, right?
