Graphics / [SFML2.0] sf::Shape vs. sf::Sprite

« on: January 04, 2012, 04:38:49 pm »

I was just looking at the SFML 2.0 API with the merged drawables and noticed that sf::Shape and sf::Sprite kinda do the same thing.
Sure Sprites can't have an outer color but the rest seems equally on the top.
Now I was wondering what's diffrent at the bottom and which would perform better (theoreticly). I could figure it out and test it myself but ... I'm too lazy.  :lol:
Is it now just a question of desgin and/or taste or are there some real advantages?

SFML website / SFML 1.7 snapshot??

« on: February 22, 2011, 03:46:03 pm »

I was browsing through the website and noticed on the download page:
"SFML 1.7 snapshot"

But the SFML release thread doesn't list that version.
And SVN repository doesn't have any clue to version 1.7...

So it seems like a mistake, or is the rest of the website just not uptodate?

SFML website / ['request'] Overall navigationbar

« on: January 18, 2011, 01:44:59 am »

Heyho!

I know I'm the newbie here and should first look around a bit more, but there's that 'thing' that I really don't like about the website...
When programming and learning new stuff, I jump pretty often between many diffrent sites, tuts, docs, forum and so on. Normaly not that big of a deal, but here at sfml-dev, I always have to edit the URL to get my navigation back...
I know the diffrent parts run with diffrent 'software' and so it's not that easy to get a navibar over all the websites, but try it and it will please the user! ;-)

It doesn't have to be as big as the one on the front page but just a few small links to navigate between Download, Forum, Wiki, Doc and Tuts!

Thanks in advance and my respect for the great work with SFML! =)
