Window / Odd trouble drawing text

« on: December 13, 2011, 12:33:53 am »

Alrighty, so I can get my "tart new journey" and "[C]ontinue your journey" messages to appear in the first function of my source just fine:
This works perfectly...

Code: [Select]

int main(/*commandline arguments go here*/){
  Game.Display();
  Game.Clear();
  Game.EnableKeyRepeat(false);
  if(!Image[0].LoadFromFile("gfx/frame.png")){
    std::cout<<"Failed to load image!"<<std::endl;
  }
  //Set the image as a sprite...
  Sprite[0].SetImage(Image[0]);
  mtFont.LoadFromFile("gfx/FreeMono.ttf",12);
  menu_text1.SetText("[S]tart new journey");
  menu_text2.SetText("[C]ontinue your journey");
  menu_text1.SetFont(mtFont);
  menu_text2.SetFont(mtFont);
  menu_text1.SetSize(16);
  menu_text2.SetSize(16);
  menu_text1.Move(412,280);
  menu_text2.Move(412,294);
  Game.Clear();
  Game.Draw(Sprite[0]);
  Game.Draw(menu_text1);
  Game.Draw(menu_text2);
  Game.Display();
...yet when my second function (character naming and general 'newgame' stuff) begins, it fails to print the name-request, even though it still responds to events with...:

Code: [Select]

int game_start(){
  Game.Display();
  if(!Image[0].LoadFromFile("gfx/frame.png")){
    std::cout<<"Failed to load image!"<<std::endl;
  }
  //Set the image as a sprite...
  Sprite[0].SetImage(Image[0]);
  mtFont.LoadFromFile("gfx/FreeMono.ttf",12);
  menu_text1.SetText("By what name shalt");
  menu_text2.SetText("thee be known?");
  menu_text1.SetFont(mtFont);
  menu_text2.SetFont(mtFont);
  menu_text1.SetSize(16);
  menu_text2.SetSize(16);
  menu_text1.Move(412,280);
  menu_text2.Move(412,294);
  Game.Clear();
  Game.Draw(Sprite[0]);
  Game.Draw(menu_text1);
  Game.Draw(menu_text2);
  Game.Display();
...and yes, the second function is called.  All I get in return is the blank 'frame' image also used in the first function.  What am I doing wrong?  I feel like a complete fool.  @_@;

EDIT:  Alrighty, so...  I changed MenuText1 and MenuText2 into a single array known as menu_text.  Setting the code to display this array has kept what already worked working, but curiously, the second function was only willing to display

• and [1] in the first function, then [3] and [4] in the second.  It does, at least, display now, which is a vast improvement, but I'm thinking I may need to (somehow) clear the memory from menu_text
• through [2] which were used by the first function (since I added an option to view credits, I had to use [2] as well, if you were confused).  Apparently, I can't reuse those menu_texts just yet... @_@;  I'm sure I'll find a fix for that soon enough!

General / Undefined references (rendering a window)

« on: September 16, 2011, 03:32:01 am »

Thanks a ton!  I got it to compile in terminal (I really should try and set up the linkers in codeblocks, though, just for convenience's sake)  Next, I need to figure out how to disable window-resizing...  *gets back to searching*

I think I can handle things fine from here.  ^_^

General / Undefined references (rendering a window)

« on: September 16, 2011, 03:00:41 am »

Hi, I've just recently chosen to try out SFML with C++ and followed a video tutorial on Youtube to try and render a window (practice for a project I'm planning) and got the following errors:

Code: [Select]


/home/username/Documents/cppStuff/Window/SFML_Window.o||In function `main':|
SFML_Window.cpp|| undefined reference to `sf::VideoMode::VideoMode(unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int)'|

||=== Build finished: 11 errors, 0 warnings ===|


I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and have been using Gedit or Code::Blocks (depending on how much 'interface' I feel like tolerating).  Here is the code from the tutorial, which I used:

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow Game(sf::VideoMode(640, 480, 32), "SFML Test");

    sf::Event Event;

    while(Game.IsOpened())
    {
        while(Game.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            if(Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                Game.Close();
        }

        Game.Clear();
        Game.Display();
    }
   
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


I have no idea why these errors are happening (yes, I've installed sfml, and these errors happened in Code::Blocks, if I haven't already said so),
so I'm hoping someone here can tolerate the length of the post and lend a hand.  Any help is appreciated, this kind of thing is ridiculously annoying.  @_@;  Thanks![/code]
