Same behavior under win7 with MinGW. The wide string works, the ANSI one not

System / String doesn't display accents under Linux
« on: March 11, 2013, 11:50:55 am »
Hi... I'm trying to display spanish strings with accents under Linux.. with no luck 
My GCC version is 4.7.2
Recent SFML 2.0 (compiled by me)
Linux Fedora 18 x64
Codelite IDE
Here is my minimal example:
The wide string displays correctly using sf::Text. The ANSI string does not display accents.
Should I always use wide strings under Linux?

General / Re: AW: Drawing everything? Checking collision with all solid tiles?
« on: February 28, 2013, 12:53:55 am »For static (or also dynamic) tiles (map) I suggest to use sf::VertexArray.
Exactly, use VA's for the tilemap to get the best performance
For the collision detection, one of the recommended data structures to use is a QuadTree.

Problem solved
The font file extension was .TTF (uppercase)
I didn't notice until I run ls from the console..
Btw, the classic path format "./fonts/myfont.ttf" works fine
No absolute path needed
Thanks!

Try reinstalling libglew from the official repository
Or, compile from sources

On Unix, typing make install will attempt to install GLEW into /usr/include/GL and /usr/lib. You can customize the installation target via the GLEW_DEST environment variable if you do not have write access to these directories.

General / (SOLVED) Can´t load Font files under Linux
« on: February 25, 2013, 10:07:22 pm »
Hi there!
I´m trying to get my game working under Fedora 18 x64
Im using C++ and SFML 2.0 from GitHub (very recent version)
I have created a folder where my font files are stored. Under win7, I load the files as usual:
And it works fine.
However, under Linux, this doesn´t work. The game compiles fine, but when I run it, I get this error message:
Failed to load font <filename> (failed to create the font face)
The font files seems to work fine (I can open them from Dolphin, the KDE file explorer)
I tried changing the file path:
I can open (read and write) simple text files created by me using std::fstream. It works. Even files inside a folder (like "./config/engine.cfg")
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to specify the full path to the files under Linux? SFML bug?
EDIT:: Solved

Awesome!
You say you are using CircleShapes.. but can you use any other kind of Drawables too, like rectangles or Sprites?
Can´t wait to see the code!

For a very little game, its ok
For a bigger proyect, specially if you have a physics engine, you need to implement this kind of game loop control

You don´t need the full image, just 1/4...
rotate and draw this to get the full image

« on: February 12, 2013, 03:56:08 pm »Question..
Why not just useApp.setFramerateLimit(60);
Whats the difference between using that and implementing this?
Tally: by using setFramerateLimit, you are saying to your window: "Hey, dont draw more than x frames per second, please". With an implementation like this, you are not setting any limit on the FPS, you are just running the game (logic) at a fixed frame rate (in this case is 25 fps), and then using interpolation to smooth the animations.
I´m currently using the Fix Your Timestep! method.

Upvoted!
Your game looks beautifull, congratz!
How do you handle the boss animations? Several big texture files?
