DotNet / SFML.Net 2.0 and Mono: Getting Started Guide

« on: March 30, 2012, 07:31:07 am »

I spent most of yesterday getting SFML.Net 2.0 to work with Mono on Linux machines, and figured I might as well write down my process to get it to work. Might not be a HUGE audience for this, but whatever, I had fun writing it.

Update: new site, and an explanation on how to skip the CSFML and SFML++ compilation.

DotNet / Getting dt in SFML.Net 2.0

« on: March 29, 2012, 11:29:37 pm »

I seem to remember (though may be mistaken) that the delta time variable was accessed through a RenderWindow instance, yet I don't seem to see it there anymore. In the SFML 2.0 documentation, you get this from a Clock instance, but that also doesn't seem to exist in SFML.Net (since that comes from the System module, which isn't included in SFML.Net). Where would I get dt in SFML.Net 2.0?

DotNet / Building the docs (.shfbproj) on Linux?

« on: March 29, 2012, 05:52:06 pm »

I am having a hard time finding a way to build the SFML.Net 2.0 documentation on Linux. MonoDevelop doesn't seem to recognize it as a project file, and random Google searches don't seem to produce much. So, two questions:

• Is there a way to build the documentation on Linux?
• If not, does someone have the current release's (the last commit on GitHub was two days ago) built documentation?

I understand it's almost the exact same as the C++ documentation, but if it is feasible for me to get the .Net version, then I'd prefer that.

Trying to get SFML.Net 2.0 to work with Mono, and it seems I need the libcsfml files to do so, which means I need to build CSFML. Ran into this error while building.

DotNet / Scripting with C#/Mono...in C#/Mono

« on: March 01, 2012, 09:48:34 pm »

Maybe I am missing something obvious, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about using C#/Mono as a scripting language for projects already written in C#/Mono. There is plenty of information on how to do it in a C++ project, and there are some rare examples of doing it inside C#/Mono, but I have yet to get one of them to build successfully on my machine.

The two options I seem to think are viable are using the Mono.CSharp Evaluator class, or through the dynamic type. However, all the examples using the Evaluator have either failed, or only loaded a single statement at a time, and I am unsure that using the dynamic type would correctly cast a SFML.Vector2 (plus I am unsure if Mono currently supports the dynamic type.)

Even if there aren't any straight up tutorials out there, are they any examples out there of this that I could look through the source code of?

Thanks in advance.

DotNet / Drawable Center not updating with movement

« on: January 22, 2012, 07:49:09 am »

I don't know if this is intentional or not (but I doubt it is), but when you update the position of a Drawable, the rest of the position relative variables (specifically Center) do not update accordingly. It seems in the C++ documentation that there is a Move method that may do this part for you, but at least in SFML.NET 1.6 it doesn't seem to exist.
