*currently reading through variables and basic types*

...

If you'd like videos instead (I know I do), I started out learning programming through xoax. The videos are a bit sleep-inducing but still good.

There is actually a post on the wiki just for this! I haven't actually read it through but I assume it's up to par.
Here's the link

General / Re: Help with a switch statement

« on: August 06, 2013, 05:33:17 pm »

I have no idea if you can use || inside a switch like that...

Here is a snippet from my main-loop. Note that I wrote the class "Input" myself but you could always use sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed() or something else.

    while(window.isOpen())
        {
                Input::Update();

                sf::Event event;

                while(window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        switch (event.type)
                        {
                        case sf::Event::Closed:
                                window.close();
                                break;
                        case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
                                if(hasFocus)
                                        if(Input::KeyDown(sf::Keyboard::Escape))
                                                window.close();
                                break;
                        case sf::Event::LostFocus:
                                hasFocus = GL_FALSE;
                                break;
                        case sf::Event::GainedFocus:
                                hasFocus = GL_TRUE;
                                break;
                        case sf::Event::TextEntered:
                                if(event.text.unicode <= 255)
                                        console.AppendText(static_cast<GLubyte>(event.text.unicode));
                                break;
                        default:
                                break;
                        }
                }
