SFML projects / Re: Black Knight Blockade (Minigame)

« on: December 17, 2012, 08:03:18 pm »

Very cool game! I really liked it. The sword slashing was kind of odd though. Something that would have been really cool is to make the sword slashing like in the old 8-bit zelda games (like Link's Awakening). That would probably make it look a lot better.

Cool game! I see you're eading the level designs from some .png images. How did you do that?

Graphics / Lag problem

I fixed it. All I had to do was to update the driver for my graphics card.

If your compiler supports C++11, you can simply use the to_string function.

Graphics / Lag problem

« on: December 20, 2011, 06:47:59 pm »

I am making a car game which currently has three sprites: the background, moving road lines, and the car. If I draw just the road lines and the car, and not the background, everything runs smooth. But when I draw the background, everythings starts to lag. I did a check, and it only loops through the main game loop 10 times per second when the background is drawn, but around 100 when it's not. Just simply commenting out App.Draw(Background); fixes the problem, but this is of course not an option. The background is a 800x600 .png file. Anyone has an idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Really awesome game! I'm addicted to it already.

Window / String keyboard input

Like:

Code: [Select]

int number;
cin >> number;

Thanks! Is there a way to directly assign a varible through keyboard input?

Window / String keyboard input

Is there a way to input a string from the keyboard from a window, for example; "hello", like 'cin' in the standard library?

Graphics / Sprite copy constructor

« on: April 21, 2011, 08:26:12 pm »

Hello everyone! I've been using SFML for a few days, and when reading the tutorial about sprites, I came across this code snippet:

Code: [Select]

class MyPicture
{
public :

    // This is the copy constructor
    MyPicture(const MyPicture& Copy) : Image(Copy.Image), Sprite(Copy.Sprite)
    {
        // This is the trick : we setup the sprite
        // to use our image, instead of the one of Copy
        Sprite.SetImage(Image);
    }

    // ... a lot of useful functions ...

private :

    sf::Image  Image;
    sf::Sprite Sprite;
};

The problem is just that I have no idea how to use it, and the tutorial doesn't explain it very well. I'm not too good with classes either, but I know how to use them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also really appreciate if someone could post an example code using this copy constructor. Maybe that would help me understand it a little bit more. Thanks.

Why are people using both SFML and Box2D? What do they benefit from it?

System / Pause for input and displaying values

« on: April 19, 2011, 04:57:27 pm »

I found some code for a header file that could convert a variable to a std::string, so after that I just assigned that string it to a sf::String. Thanks for the help!

System / Pause for input and displaying values

Thanks for answering! The way you did the "wait" program was actually how I did it too . I were just wondering if there was an easier way. But I still can't seem to solve the problem with displaying values. I've read the link you posted several times. I've also tried to just put value instead of "text", for example:

Code: [Select]

int value = 5;
sf::String val(value);
But this doesn't work. :/

System / Pause for input and displaying values

« on: April 18, 2011, 09:00:50 pm »

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to SFML (started about 3 days ago), and I really like it so far! Though there's two problems I can't seem to solve. I've tried to google them, but found no results. My first question is: How do I make the program stop/pause completely until the user for example presses a key? (Like the _getch() function from the conio.h header). My second question is: How do I display a value? For example; int value = 5. How do I display "value" to the window? Any help would be greatly appreciated
