Yea, sure. I think the only line I had to change was..

Code: [Select]


class DebugDraw : public b2DebugDraw

to...

Code: [Select]


class DebugDraw : public b2Draw


I'm pretty sure that fixed all 10 of my errors, but I might have forgotten something. Let me know if it works.

**EDIT**
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the link. I had about 10 errors to start with, but they weren't hard to fix and now it works like a charm. Thanks to you I have a great start to learning how to implement physics into SFML with the B2D library!

I've only been coding C++ for about 2 months so excuse my inexperience. I have created a little program that implements collision detection into SFML basically using a class I found on the wiki with my own "window border" detection that's a little buggy. You can find this source below...

Anyway, I want to implement FULL physics (gravity, collision, friction, etc) and B2D seems to be a perfect way to do this. Though I am completely lost in how to implement it into SFML.

From my understanding I have to create the "world" with B2D which sets the worlds gravity, then I have to individually add objects to the world. I have implemented the world (I THINK) successfully by doing this..

Code: [Select]


//int iterations = 10;
//float timestep = 1 / 60;
bool doSleep = true;
float scale = 30;
b2Vec2 Gravity(0, 9.8f);
b2AABB worldAABB;
worldAABB.lowerBound.Set( -1000 / scale, -1000 / scale );
worldAABB.upperBound.Set( 1000 / scale, 1000 / scale );

b2World* world;
world = new b2World(worldAABB, Gravity, doSleep);


The main problem I am having (granted, I haven't gone fully through the Box2D documentation yet) is adding SFML sprites into this Box2D world. The other problem I am having is how I would go about rendering the B2D world into the SFML window.

A fantastic help would be if anyone could replace the collision class used in the code below with Box2D implementation so I can see how it's done. However, I would be just as grateful if anyone could simply answer my questions on how to add SFML sprites to the Box2D world and render that world to the SFML window.
