Graphics / Text scrolling help

« on: August 13, 2012, 12:55:29 am »

Hello all, I am having some difficulty figuring out how to make text scroll or pop up slowly.

An example video is at the bottom of this post.

I don't need all the code handed to me. I just need the bare minimum to go about making it happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here is a video showing exactly what I want to happen with the text...     http://youtu.be/CBL9AenRLeA?t=44s

I compile with the code "g++ -Wall -c"

that is what Geany uses by default and I see no reason to change it because it has worked thus far.

I will give linking a try, thanks for your answer! *I hope this works*

The problem is I am left with a file like "main.o" that I have no idea how to use or test to see if it worked. Just because it compiled doesn't mean it will work the way its supposed to.

I just need to know what I'm supposed to do, for example.

"you need to write your code, include all the necessary headers and files, compile it and then...."

basically a very brief step by step until I have a finished product.

If there is a link or somewhere else on the fourms I can learn step by step then that would be great but everything just stops after the "compile the code"

with normal c++ for example I can write the code, click on build (in Geany) and then click execute to view whatever I just made but when I try with SFML I cant view anything after I compile my code.

I know this sounds really stupid but its just something I'm missing and I can't figure out

A little background first is needed.

I am using the 1.6  version of SFML on Ubuntu 10.10.

I am pretty new to c++ programming and very new to SFML,

I'm trying to learn SFML because I want my c++ RPG to have a lot more then just a terminal and some text.

What I would like to know is how to actually "use" SFML. I have tried the tutorials and they compile but I cant test or use what has been compiled, its this step I cant get passed. I have compiled other games that I found and they all work.

If you would kindly tell me what I'm missing, or just explain the steps required to make a working game/program then I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
