 Good Gracious!!! Thank you for your support.
i did move it in that area. but still it didnt work. only then when i defined

sf::Text playerText;

to

sf::Text playerText(''',font,size);

im really sorry, that should have been obvious to me. grateful for your help guys. sky five!

"move  window.draw(playerText); so that it is directly before window.draw(playerText);"

Hi there Hapax, im really new to this, so where should i put window.draw(playerText);?

tried to move it before the poll event but no luck.

#include <SFML/System.hpp>

int entername()
{
            sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1180, 600), "PANZER_WAR:TPL_GAME", sf::Style::None);
            sf::Font font;

            return EXIT_FAILURE;

            sf::Event event;
            sf::String playerInput;
            sf::Text playerText;

    while (window.isOpen())
        {
             while(window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered)
                            {
                                if(event.text.unicode < 128)
                                    {
                                        playerInput +=event.text.unicode;
                                        playerText.setString(playerInput);
                                    }
                            }

Hello everyone, i am an absolute beginner with c++ and sfml, i was tasked to create an Artillery Game, 2 player.
i really need help on how to create a Text field area where a player will enter their name, ive seen tutorials read docs, and forums, but still i am not able to do this. i really need some help.

how should i display the TextEntered on the window?
for example: Player presses 'J', that 'J' is immediately drawn on screen..

any help??if this is even possible??
