General / Issues with codeblocks and sfml 2.0 (link/static lib)

« on: March 19, 2013, 07:25:56 pm »

Hi!
I'm trying to use SFML 2.0 with codeblocks ide and mingw. I downloaded the Windows 32 bits - GCC SJLJ (Code::Blocks) (15.7 MB) version of sfml 2.0.
I've set everything exactly like in http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-cb.php except i've added the -s for static libs and defined SFML_STATIC. The main.cpp is the same.
For some reason, the debug won't compile because it doesn't find sf::renderwindow. I've double-checked everything and can't understand why it would compile under release and not under debug...

Also, the release version asks for the .dll files even though i've defined sfml_static and used the -s libs.
Quote:
The program can't start because sfml-graphics-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Any idea of what i'm doing wrong ?

edit:
For some reason (not sure what changed  ). It now compiles in debug.
However, both versions now just crash after having been launched.
I really don't understand what happens.

I guess i'm going to try recompiling sfml.

Window / [solved]key events in 2.0

« on: October 31, 2012, 06:58:13 pm »

Hi !
I'm testing out sfml 2.0 on windows (visual studio 2010).
I just switched between polling the keyboard in real time to using events 5even though the result should be the same).
So here's basically what i do now:

  while (isRunning)
    {
      Window.clear(sf::Color(88, 148, 88));

      while (Window.pollEvent(Event))
      {
          switch(Event.type)
                {
                 case sf::Event::Closed:
             isRunning = false;
             break;

                case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
                        player->injectKeyPressed(Event.key.code);
                        break;

            case sf::Event::KeyReleased:
                  player->injectKeyReleased(Event.key.code);
              break;
                }
      }
 

Inside the keypress/released functions of my player object, i just set a boolean value in a map to reflect this.
Here's a code sample:

bool Player::injectKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Key key)
{
        keyboardState[keyboardMap[key]] = true;

        return true;
}
 

However, since i changed it, i've been having bugs (up key isn't working properly when it was before and the other keys share the same code).

So is this incorrect behavior ? Or is it just not a good idea in sfml ? Because i've used this kind of keyboard input events in other libs and never had any problem.

General discussions / Changes in 2.0

« on: October 24, 2012, 05:30:48 pm »

Was it really necessary to change names in 2.0 so that i now have to check every function in my programs ?
I mean..."move" instead of "Move". How is that going to improve anything ?
I know sfml is a lot of work and all but still...sometimes you have to wonder why you make those changes.
