This code is a mess, protip is to get some kindof order by creating classes and stuff. Make it all structural.

As an example, like this?

Code: [Select]


while(App.IsOpened())
{
   sf::Event Event;
   while(App.GetEvent(Event))
   {
      if(Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
         App.Close();
   }

      App.Clear();

      App.Draw(Map);

      MapSelect();

      GameStart();

      App.Display();
}
 

The simplest thing is setting some breakpoints and stepping through your code with a debugger (gdb if you're using g++, visual studio/xcode have a debugger integrated in the IDE). If you're not familiar with using a debugger it's worth investing the time to learn.

Can you give me some links for how to learn debugging?

I'm using Visual Studio 2008.

I'm having trouble keeping my game running. My code below makes my game freeze up and not respond. Can anyone help me understand why and how to fix it?

Code: [Select]

int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800,600,32), "World Domination");

srand( time(NULL) );

sf::Clock Clock;

int PlayerHealth = 100;

sf::Image MapLoad2;
if(!MapLoad2.LoadFromFile("Images/Select_1.png"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

sf:: Image MapLoad3;
if(!MapLoad3.LoadFromFile("Images/Select_2.png"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

sf::String map1Text;
map1Text.SetFont(sf::Font::GetDefaultFont());
map1Text.SetText("North America");
map1Text.SetSize(15);
