SFML projects / Nehe OpenGL Tutorials Converted to SFML

Awesome, though do you think you'll have time to like set up a wiki on your github repo and also do a conversion of the actual tutorial? Would be pretty sweet to have.

I don't really want to replace the tutorials.  I feel the originals are still good and I have copied most of the comments from the tutorial over to the converted source code.  When I get finished with the tutorials, perhaps I could create a Wiki with the descriptions of all the tutorials and link each one to the associated Nehe page and .cpp file in the repository.

Why don't you use sf::Input instead of a std::map <key, bool> ?

I completely missed that when going through SFML tutorials.  I agree that is a better way to do the movement keys.  I have made the changes.  Thanks.

Interesting are mainly how to set up an OpenGL window with SFML, but there is already an official tutorial and example about this topic.

I went through the OpenGL tutorial on this site.  The reason why I am converting them over to SFML as I go through them is to broaden my understanding of the SFML API as well.  I am making my changes available on Github in the hopes that my effort is also useful to somebody else learning OpenGL and/or SFML.  Some of the Nehe tutorials do not compile as is any longer because they use obsolete glaux libraries.

SFML projects / Nehe OpenGL Tutorials Converted to SFML

« on: March 29, 2011, 05:45:45 am »

Hello all.  I am new to SFML and I am currently brushing up on OpenGL after having not used it for several years.  I decided to convert the tutorials over to SFML while I am going through them.  I currently have the first 10 tutorials converted and will add to the repository as I progress through them.  You can get the source at:  

git://github.com/cwbriscoe/NeHe-SFML.git

If you are new to OpenGL and have not heard of the Nehe tuorials, check them out here:

http://nehe.gamedev.net/

I have also included a Code:Blocks project file that is setup for the MinGW GCC compiler but it is probably pretty easy to switch to another compiler and/or IDE.  If you do use the Code:Blocks project file, then you will have to add the SDML /include and /lib locations in the appropriate places at the global project or global Code:Blocks level.
