Graphics / How to detect OnScreen Sprites when using views?

« on: July 10, 2012, 06:46:07 am »

I'm using a custom sf::View for my RenderWindow in my tile-based RPG. Now I use sf::View's Move() method to scroll around the map. Now the problem is, how do I detect the sprites that are currently on the screen? I tried this:

/** pro::Tile is derived from sf::Sprite **/
bool LevelRenderer::OnScreen(pro::Tile& tile, sf::RenderWindow& app)
{
    return (tile.GetPosition().x > 0 && tile.GetPosition().x < app.GetWidth()
            && tile.GetPosition().y > 0 && tile.GetPosition().y < app.GetHeight());
}

However, although it initially works fine, after I Move() the view, the sprite's positions aren't updated and new sprites that appear on the screen are not drawn. What should I do?

General discussions / Does SFML 1.6 Do clipping automatically?

« on: July 08, 2012, 11:17:52 am »

I'm creating a rogue-like tile-based 2d RPG game. What I want to know is, say there are sprites outside the screen which are drawn with the `App.Draw()` method. Now, will the `Draw()` method automatically not draw the sprites which are off-screen, or will I have to personally write code to prevent the drawing of off-screen sprites? I've made some games with Java2D and Swing, there the toolkit automatically does not draw off-screen images, does SFML do the same?

Awesome menu, I sure hope the game is equally good. What is the game , by the way, Rpg? The menu reminds me of visual novels, is it one of those? I sure hope it isnt some idiotic arcade game.
