SFML projects / Re: 3 'Free to play" games I made with SFML

« on: February 03, 2024, 03:46:23 pm »

Hey played your game Dispersio , very well done .
few questions if i may .
How long did it take you to finish the game ?
How did you do the music ?
why you are not monetizing the game ? why its free ?

Hey! Thanks.

1. Despersio took about 6 months, AchBall - 3 months and Dispersio 2 - about 2-3 years, I took a lot of breaks
2. I just didn't. My friend "Creepue" did
3. At first I did, but changed it last October.I made a post about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/563180/view/3727348610017318871?l=english

SFML projects / 3 'Free to play" games I made with SFML

« on: January 28, 2024, 04:28:27 pm »

Not sure if it is related to SFML projects, since it's just an announcement

I changed all my 3 games to "Free to play"

Oh, sorry. My bad... I'm using old SFML version for windows build....

I found this thread, but it looks dead

Did anyone found the solution?

Audio / [SOLVED, i am idiot] Music stops playing sometimes

« on: January 20, 2021, 02:48:35 pm »

Good day. I've encountered a weird bug, which I have no idea how to reproduce in "small example"...
It happened in windows (built with mingw 32bit).

So I start music like this:

track->stop();
track->openFromFile(...);
track->setLoop(loop);
track->play();
track->setPlayingOffset(cache->musics[current]);
 

After this I added the log:

Loop = true
Offset = 4739
Length = 96000
 

So the output is getLoop(), getPlayingOffset() and getDuration().

And sometimes it just stops playing... I added a log:

Track loop = true
Offset = 0
Length = 96000
Status = Stopped
 

Have anyone had this bug, or have any ideas what could cause it? Thanks

System / Re: We got a keyboard without any keys (1) (OSX Big Sur)

I just faced this issue. If you run app from terminal - go to Security settings -> Then something with keyboard icon, then in the list mark the checkbox (terminal). And it should work fine. SFML is not the issue, it's MacOS's "feature"

Graphics / Re: OSX - failed to compile fragment shader

« on: December 29, 2020, 09:54:03 am »

Removing the 'f' should be ok. Just '1.0' for literals.

Oh, silly me Thanks Laurent. Yeah, I guess i'm way too used to put 'f' and "0:1" confused me.

Graphics / OSX - failed to compile fragment shader

« on: December 29, 2020, 09:32:16 am »

Good day. I'm not expirienced OSX user, so have no idea about it.

I'm getting this error:

Failed to compile fragment shader:
ERROR: 0:1: 'f' : syntax error: syntax error

Failed to compile fragment shader:

SFML version is 2.5.1

There's no such error on Linux 32/64 nor Windows 32/64

Shaders are:

Bonus question bonus not related to graphics, but related to Mac OS X:
After app start i got this:
"We got a keyboard without any keys (1)"

I use Mac mini with standart usb keyboard attached

SFML projects / Dispersio 3

« on: April 09, 2019, 01:00:37 pm »

Actually it's 3, but i renamed the 2 to 3, so it's 2 now 
So i decided to take a short break on my previous project and i will probably release this one earlier - so I had to rename them 

This game will be very similar to the first one, but instead of different abilities on each level you will face different obstacles. I hope to make it as good as first one - and same hard as well

There's no truth, only conventions.

Sad but true....
So I guess topic can be closed

Graphics / Re: sf::Rect

« on: September 11, 2018, 10:45:11 am »

It doesn't, because by convention, point (2, 2) belongs to pixel (2, 2).

But it also belongs to pixels (1,1), (1,2) and (2,1)

Graphics / Re: sf::Rect

« on: September 11, 2018, 10:27:38 am »

Well, this is not for integer coordinates. This is for pixels.
As i said in example - let's take a look at 2x2 rectangle.
And what is pixel? It's 1x1 square. So 2x2 square will contain 4 pixels (0,0), (1,0), (0,1) and (1,1)
But pixel is not a point - it's a square.

Will 2x2 rect contain pixel (2,2)? No
Will 2x2 rect contain point (2,2)? Yes

So this is not clear in Rect class - if you work with points or pixels. In function call it called a point, but actually it isn't.

And, well, if nobody cares about that - i won't too.

Just let's take a simple example....

I have rectangle. Based on 4 points. (0,0), (0,2), (2,2) and (2,0)

The length of each side is 2.
Does it contain point (0,0) ? Yes, it does.
Does it contain point (2,2) ? Yes, it does.

All you said is right only if you use sf::IntRect to store array dimentions, but not as a geometry object
