General discussions / Game lifecycle - Best practice for drawing?

« on: July 22, 2012, 12:23:34 pm »

Hi,

I'm about to program a pong-clon to get some skills for bigger projects
I'm asking me what's the best practice when it comes up to drawing all the stuff I want to have in the game?

I can't believe I should put all the code in the main loop

I thought about the following approach:
(not tested)

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "Game.h"

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Pong");
        Game *game = new Game( &window );

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }

                window.clear();
                game->start();
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}

any suggestions?


Edit: sf::NonCopyable::NonCopyable
I guess this approach doesn't work...

Oh
my
god.

This was indeed a newbie mistake
Thanks for your fast reply! ATI bug (as expected) is also fixed now.

General / SFML2.0 - fatal error LNK1107

« on: December 07, 2011, 01:03:33 pm »

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to compile my project with SFML2.0 (have compiled SFML2.0 with Visual Studio 9)

Before that, I've used SFML 1.6 but I'm a victim of the ATI bug

I think I've compiled it correctly (SFML 2.0) but when I'm trying to compile my project, I'm getting

sfml-graphics-d-2.dll : fatal error LNK1107: Invalid or corrupted File: Read at 0x2E0 not possible.

How I compiled SFML2.0
- CMAKE
-- Build Examples
-- Build Shared Libs
-- Type: Release
- Visual Studio 9
-- Compiled "ALL_BUILD"
-- Compiled "INSTALL"

How I've implemented it into Visual Studio 9
- Added lib, include & src path to Visual Studio 9
- Added .dll files to my Project (Linker/Input)
- Copied the .dll into my project folder

Any newbie mistakes so far?

p.s.: I've used some tutorial code for testing sfml 2.0

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");
   
    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Clear the screen (fill it with black color)
        App.Clear();

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
