Window / Switch RenderWindow from Windowed<->Fullscreen (v1.6)
« on: November 30, 2011, 11:47:25 am »
Not sure if this will fix what you described.
The way you are processing the input is by checking if the keys are currently pressed. If this code is being called every iteration of a loop (say 60 times a second), then the if statement will be entered say, 30 times if you hold the buttons down for half a second.
Instead what you should do is window.PollEvents(), and look for a KeyPressed event for sf::Key::Return, and && with window.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::LAlt)

I just checked all the links in my post. They all work.
If you are talking about this bit here, which turns out to have become a link without me adding url tags,
this is not meant to be clicked on, this is something you type into your terminal to clone the git repository.
The clone in mac button should come up if you are using a mac, if it doesn't come up, just clone using the command line using the two commands I just quoted.

Also change the subject of your post. It's really not helpful to those who may be able to help you and to those browsing the forum after you

Graphics / filling the window with a texture
« on: November 25, 2011, 09:46:01 pm »
Can you use proper variable names? Maybe then you can work out what is wrong. Using a one or two letters or temp for variable names makes your code really difficult to read and subsequently you aren't able to track the logic of your code properly.
As far as I can see, whatever X is, after the first time the inner loop completes, temp will be X*50. This is probably off the screen.
Also, you don't use zm at all.
Next time, you can simply output the value of the variables used in the line that "doesn't work" for you just before they are used. Eg
Either that, or use a debugger.

Calling Clear on a RenderWindow just clears the screen. Read the documentation.

Window / [SOLVED]Need sf::Clock to be more specific

There's nothing much to floats (that's sort of a lie). For your purposes, think of a float as something that can store a decimal number to about 8 significant figures. A double can store about 16 significant figures.

Hey man, scripting languages constitutes as real programming. You don't have to be using a strongly typed, compiled language to be considered a real programmer.

General / Renderwindow displayed in function disrupts the game.
« on: November 23, 2011, 12:30:16 pm »
This is not a bug in SFML, you just haven't coded it right. On each frame you should clear the window and redraw everything. You shouldn't just play an animation in a separate function, instead at each frame, update each animation as you see fit, then draw everything again in its current state.
Try Nexus's Thor library, it has a nice animation class.

General / mouse click on moving animation problem
« on: November 20, 2011, 11:38:44 pm »
your if statement is wrong
and by putting this in the loop
you are overwriting the values each iteration of the loop.
I can't help you much more than that because you have only included two snippets of your code that don't even seem to go together (is Tl short for topLeftCorner??)
Code: [Select]
if((input.GetMouseX()>=Tr.x && input.GetMouseX()<=Bl.x) && (input.GetMouseX()>=Bl.y && input.GetMouseY()<=Bl.y)) and by putting this in the loop
Code: [Select]
topLeftCorner=BALLOONS[loop].GetPosition();
bottomRightCorner.x=topLeftCorner.x+50;
bottomRightCorner.y=topLeftCorner.y+65; you are overwriting the values each iteration of the loop.
