General / Re: SFML 2.0 not immediately compatible with Codeblocks?

thanks so much all of you, everything is working perfectly. This saved me even more hours of frustration. I don't remember having to get the TDM SJLJ package with codeblocks, is that new?

I downloaded the SFML 2.0 archive from the "latest stable build" download page.
http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.0/
GCC 4.7 MinGW (DW2)

I downloaded code::blocks version 12.11 from here:

Yeah, I was still linking using the global compiler settings like you had to do for 1.6 . Now my code compiles without any errors, thanks However when I run the code it throws an error saying:

The procedure entry point __gxx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll.

Here is my code, but I doubt there is anything wrong with it. It's from the tutorial on the main site.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

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

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

General / SFML 2.0 not immediately compatible with Codeblocks? [SOLVED]

« on: July 03, 2013, 04:47:34 am »

So I haven't used SFML in quite some time (since 1.6) and I come back to find a new site and a 2.0 release. After downloading 2.0 and configuring codeblocks, I tried running the sample code it provides in the tutorial. This brought up 50 or so errors, which from what I remember means that it wasn't linked properly. I tried a few more times, but to no avail. So I started scrolling through other people's posts and tutorials on getting 2.0 up and running. They are all saying that you have to recompile it with cmake. I was wondering why you have to do this, isn't the download precompiled? And if it does have to be recompiled, could someone point me to a more in depth tutorial, I don't fully understand the one on the site.

Graphics / Re: Array of sf::Shape::Rectangles

« on: February 03, 2013, 02:09:49 am »

Window.Clear();
    for(int c = 0; c < 14; c++){
    for(int d = 0; d < 14; d++){
    Window.Draw(board[c,d].disp);
    }}
    Window.Display();

I use nested loops for interfacing with the array, "board" that stores all of the objects. Window is the sf::RenderWindow that I am using and disp is the public sf::Shape::Rectangle for each object. However when I run this, nothing is drawn to the screen. This most likely has to do with me overlooking some blatantly obvious error but as stated above, I have not taken the time to fully comprehend C++ or SFML. Thank you for helping me regardless .

Oh never mind, instead of making one array of objects bound to another one of sf::Shapes, I just make each object contain a sf::Shape. Also a vector would have made it harder to check adjacent cells in the grid.

Graphics / Array of sf::Shape::Rectangles

« on: February 02, 2013, 11:00:14 pm »

For my first game I have been trying to make a basic "Snake" game. Since it runs on a grid I have an array of objects, one for each square. I also want to make an array of sf::Shape::Rectanges so that I can display the game board. How would I create that array?
