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"

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

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:
ERROR: 0:1: 'f' : syntax error: syntax error

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

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

Graphics / Mac OS X - High Sierra - RenderTexture::clear

« on: November 13, 2017, 03:58:50 pm »

Hey guys! I have some troubles with clearing render textures (or may be RenderWindow). And made some investigations. Here's the code:

#include "include/SFML/Graphics.hpp"

int main() {
        sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(400,400), "test");
        sf::RectangleShape a(sf::Vector2f(10,10)), b(sf::Vector2f(1,1));

        sf::RenderTexture tex;
        sf::Sprite spr;

        tex.create(400,400);
        tex.setActive();
        tex.clear(sf::Color(0,0,0,0));
        int pos = 10;
        spr.setTexture(tex.getTexture());

        while (app.isOpen()) {
                sf::Event event;
                while (app.pollEvent(event)) {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                app.close();
                }

                pos += 1;
                a.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(pos, 10));

                app.clear();

                // Uncomment this to fix
                //app.draw(b);

                tex.draw(a);
                tex.display();
                app.draw(spr);

                tex.clear();
                app.display();
        }
}

 

If there's no draw calls on RenderWindow except the one with drawing RenderTexture it leads to some artifacts.
I attached the image from my game and from the example. As you can see - there's kinda trail, but it is not the same as without "clear" call.

And there were no such issues before High Sierra update.

SFML website / SFMLProjects

I can't remember if i saw a topic here or just was talking about it with Exploiter long ago, but maybe it's a good idea to provide a link to sfmlprojects.org at Community page.

Graphics / sf::RenderTexture without 'display' call.

« on: October 30, 2017, 02:21:56 pm »

Don't know if it's a bug, but if I don't call 'display' function - render texture draws upside down.

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

int main() {
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");
        sf::Event event;
        sf::Font font;
        sf::Text text;
        sf::RectangleShape shape;
        sf::Sprite spr;
        sf::RenderTexture tex;

        font.loadFromFile("font.ttf");

        text.setFont(font);
        text.setString("HELLO");
        text.setCharacterSize(200);
        text.setFillColor(sf::Color::Black);

        shape.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,100));
        shape.setPosition(100, 300);
        shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Black);

        tex.create(800,600);
        tex.setActive(true);

        tex.clear(sf::Color::White);
        tex.draw(text);
        tex.draw(shape);
        //tex.display();

        spr.setTexture(tex.getTexture());

        while (window.isOpen()) {
                while (window.pollEvent(event)) if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed) window.close();

                window.clear(sf::Color::White);
                window.draw(spr);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}

Graphics / sf::Text and Outline

« on: October 24, 2017, 10:30:38 am »

Hello

Is there a way to make outline only outer space with text? As you can see it works fine with shapes, but text outlined inside and outside.

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

int main() {
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");
        sf::Event event;
        sf::Font font;
        sf::Text text;
        sf::RectangleShape shape;

        font.loadFromFile("font.ttf");

        text.setFont(font);
        text.setString("HELLO");
        text.setCharacterSize(200);
        text.setFillColor(sf::Color(255,0,0,128));
        text.setOutlineColor(sf::Color(0,0,0,128));
        text.setOutlineThickness(5);

        shape.setSize(sf::Vector2f(100,100));
        shape.setPosition(100, 300);
        shape.setFillColor(sf::Color(255,0,0,128));
        shape.setOutlineColor(sf::Color(0,0,0,128));
        shape.setOutlineThickness(5);

        while (window.isOpen()) {
                while (window.pollEvent(event)) if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed) window.close();

                window.clear(sf::Color::White);
                window.draw(text);
                window.draw(shape);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}

SFML projects / AchBall is now available on Steam

« on: September 27, 2017, 06:38:19 pm »

I decided to remaster a game I made 7-8 years ago

Gameplay is very simple - you must hit the target by the ball. Each wall hit gives you 10 points. Yeah, that's all

To make gameplay more interesting there are different achievements, leaderboards and some different things on stages, like moving platforms, fragile blocks etc.
