What the hell is FFT? >_< I'm not using anything called FFT :EWell I guess your run into some faulty YouTube filter, that thought your content is connected to FFT, whatever that is...

i want to find out if any Mousebutton is Down. Is there a more elegant way of doing it than this?If you want to use sf::Mouse there isn't really an alternative, but you could check for the sf::Event::MouseButtonEvent.
will this be too hard?To get exactly what you want, yes of course it's hard! Do you think game companies write games just for fun in a few hours?
From my experience, a physics engine will make it far more complicated than it has to be. You won't have to implement your own collision detection, but at the same time you'll have to play around a lot more to get your "physics" to feel right, e.g. platform games usually feature rather odd physics, like Mario (the video game oneIt really depends on what you want to achieve, there just isn't 'the solution' to everything.) being able to jump several meters high, being able to turn almost instantly and being able to control his jump.
Ah, I see - most of the .net stuff is just a wrapper for the normal dll files. So if I want to modify it (to add pre-multiplied alpha) I still need to compile the c++ version?Yes, iirc SFML.NET uses CSFML (like most of the other bindings).
(or actually the c version? they seem to reference "csfml-window", etc.)
Hmmmm, this might be a dumb question... but where can I find the source code fot the .Net version of the SFML 2.0 Release Candidate?It's on GitHub next to the C++ and CSFML repositories.
(so I can modify it to add pre-multiplied alpha)
Also will the full version 2 release be within the next few months?Everyone hopes so, but I doubt it. The offical statement is, as always: 'soon'.
I'm curious on how big this project isBig in which terms?
what is the difference between getGlobalBound and getLocalBound?GlobalBounds will return the axis aligned bounding box, that is it has all the scaling and rotating taken into account, where as LocalBounds simply retirn the original width and height.
The thing i was worried about is, if there is no event happening, what exactly happens? like say theres no event happening, what does event contain? i couldnt find this in the documentation for events. if the event stack is empty then what happens when u try to access an sf::Event member?sf::Event is just a data class, it holds some structs but they never get initialized with any 'default' values, thus if you just instantiate a sf::Event object and try to access a variable you'll get anything that could get casted to that type.
Yet I have a question: only the 32x builds works, while I have a 64x. How come?What should this mean exactly?
I guess I'll have to make a normal declaration of my graphics manager and just pass it by reference to everything.. which looks uglyOr refractor your code and use a better design, so not everything needs a reference to your graphics manager.
Whats the best way of making the 'order' work ?
Don't use global variables (i.e. singletons are also global variables)!That's really the best way!
The fade in and out only works if i put the line with /****/ in. if i take that line out it doesnt work. basically if i take that line out, i have to continuously press the return key (which switches screens) in order to fade in and out. if i put the line in, then i can press the return key once and it will fade out, switch screens, and fade the new screen in. I have read the events tutorial. From what i deduced, if no event is happening it wont even go inside the while(pollEvent()) and it will just keep looping the while(isOpen()) loop. And my update() function is called inside the while(pollEvent()). So i made a call to update outside (the /****/ line). is this a good way to do things?As I already said if you do it with your strange event/input handling then you have to make sure that the event is filled with the correct values otherwise the behavior is undefined...
i looked at your SmallGameEngine and it seems your using a stack to push and pop states. it seems kind of advanced and i dont quite understand how you fade in your IntroState. You reduce the alpha value everytime it loops irrespective of keypresses. Its really clean code but i havent really used stacks.Well as I said, the framerate is limited to 60fps thus I can rely on the fact the update function is getting called 60 times every second and thus reducing the alpha value by 1 every iteration will need ~4.25 seconds to go from 255 to 0. I'm drawing a rectangle over the whole screen and simply reduce it's alpha channel until it's fully transparent.
How exactly do you use stacks in a game?It's simply the FILO principle (First In Last Out) and you've got the two operations push() to put a new object onto the stack and pop to remove the top object.
Doesnt while(pollEvent()) push and pop events for you?Yes it pushes the new events into the queue and pops one event every call and puts it into the referenced event object.
And does C++ only support .hpp headers? i used .h headers for my headers.C++ (the standard) doesn't really say anything about this, but it's the compilers that define what works and what not and to my knowledge all C++ compiler support the .hpp extention and I advise everyone to use it, when they write C++ code, so you'd already see in what language a library or similar is written in: .c/.h = C; .cpp/.hpp = C++
is there any easy way to center the text in the center of the window? right now im doing this.You should really read the documentation...
btw how do you change a thread to [SOLVED]?By editing your first post and changing the title there.
