Added the word that was missing from my sentence. Thanks, Jesper.

« on: August 12, 2014, 08:26:04 pm »people who shrug SFML off often don't even mention why they do it. That reddit discussion contains more information from such people than you will find on this forum in the last 3 yearsYou ask someone to give their honest opinion, even (and especially) if it includes the negative points, and they'll refuse to answer, knowing that they're helping; people don't like to help.
You have one person make an insult towards something - or even just create an opening for such - and it'll snowball with everyone firing what they can, feeling more confident in their insults by the fact that others have already said them.
EDIT: added the word "create".

Graphics / Re: Proper zoom usage
« on: August 12, 2014, 05:51:24 pm »
There a bit of information about this in this tutorial (scroll to "Zooming (scaling) the view"). Zoom() acts like move() and rotate(), whereas setSize() acts like setCenter() and setRotation().

This looks great and well-made.
I think more attention should be paid to the bullets though. They should originate from the weapon and also not appear behind the character

As time increases, the floats are becoming less and less accurate.
You could restart the clock instead to keep the time in always low, thus:
Also, in the tutorial that you followed, you mis-typed a line:

Python / Re: sf.Keyboard.is_key_pressed() expensive?
« on: August 07, 2014, 09:52:40 pm »
I can't understand why, in one cycle, you'd want to call isKeyPressed 300 times as it's highly unlikely that the keyboard has that many keys.

Graphics / Re: Drawing a histogram plot
« on: August 07, 2014, 06:39:17 pm »
I would suggest using a VertexArray, probably the same way your waveform viewer did (mine did).
Remember to use Lines (not LinesStrip) as the primitive type so that each pair of vertices define the line.

I just tried this example. It's the first time I've ever attempted to statically link anything. *cheers*
However, following what you did, I got the same errors. The way to fix it is to link all of the dependencies listed in the FAQ (that has been linked here twice now). If it's under the heading of the module you are using, you'll need to link it. For example, you'll need to link glew, freetype etc. to be able to use the graphics module.
I think that the tutorial should mention this or, at the very least, link to the FAQ about it.
One more thing, don't forget to add .lib to the dependencies.

Decided I didn't like leaving it like that so I fixed it to stop use of so many redundant vectors. Even moved the raw lines vector into the function so that it is completely destroyed after use.

Fair enough but the "stable" release is over a year old now so I would say that there are fewer problems in the latest version than that release

If it requires the system library first, it could be that it needs them in the reverse order i.e. system, window, graphics. Could this be due to linking statically? Different compilers link in opposite orders but I don't know why your VS2010 would link differently to VS2014.
Also, don't you need to link the other stuff that is in the FAQ about Statically Linking?
EDIT: realised that I got your version wrong here.
