The standard font is removed in the lastest version of SFML, so you have to load a font by your own and set it for each text object

General / Re: Calculating direction
« on: March 19, 2013, 10:44:34 pm »
There you will need some maths 
I think this site will solve your problem : http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-Angle-Between-Two-Vectors
In your case the first vecotor is the vector between the origin and the mouseposition and the second is the x-axis.
Some more informations:
the cos-1 = std::acos(); -> acos needs rad and not deg.

Wich version of Codeblocks do you use? Because I had the exact same bug a few weeks ago...
If you use the newest 12.11 you have to recompile SFML by your own or download the right nightly build from exploid3r (

No its not necessary.
Normal gameloop: check for Events -> DoLogic -> Clear the window -> Draw some stuff -> Display
while(window.isOpen() && running)
{
//Check events
//DoLogic
//Rendering
}

Maybe you should have a look again at the tutorial for SFML Windows http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/window-window.php
You have to create the window: window.create(...), before you can use it.

Graphics / Re: geting pixel
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:03:57 pm »By the way, since I oftenly use different parts of the image I, in the while loop, declate new texture and set the part of the image for displaying to it with loadFromImage. But is there a way to do that only if player moved?
Make a function wich creates the needed textures for the current view, save the textures in a container/array so they wont get deleted after the frame.
And then only call the function if the player moves (maybe in or after the event-queue or in the logic part)
If you do it this way dont forget to clear the container before you call the function

Ok i think i got your Problem 
Make 2functions, one for each player with a return value
This way you have 2vars wich hold the current movement...
AlexAUT
Make 2functions, one for each player with a return value
enum Movement
{
left,
right,
up,
down
};
// Functions prototypes
Movement EventPlayer1(sf::Event& event);
Movement EventPlayer2(sf::Event& event);
// Game loop
//...
while(window.pollEvent(e))
{
// Close,resize,lostfocus....
movementP1 = EventPlayer1(event);
movementP2 = EventPlayer2(event);
}
//
Movement EventPlayer1(sf::Event& event)
{
// if left is pressed: return left ...
}
Movement EventPlayer2(sf::Event& event)
{

If SFML is not installed in a standard path, you need to tell the library loader where to find the SFML libraries first:

I´m not sure what´s your problem but i try to help you 
*Do you want that the play can walk left and up and the same time?
Then make 2variables one for the x-axis (left/right) and one for the y-axis(up/down) and change the if´s:
Btw please use the codetag (its in the second line right a dropdown menu

SFML projects / Re: Kroniax - A game of skill, 0.5 released online Highscores =)
« on: March 19, 2013, 09:20:10 am »But with Kroniax\ 0.5.2 I get the following issue:
"couldn't find the level data"
maybe you could try to load the data in the same way than you did in the previous version.
As exp mentioned I didnt´t change anything depending the loading of files. Next week i will upload a Linux version (Source with a build-system).
About Kroniax 22d7e3a0b90a2b51cffaf388ee5e6160 I like it a lot, but the difficulty is too high.
Why is it too high? The problem is i get to level9 without a misstake, because I tested all levels about 20times. And I only got feedback about the difficulty from my classmates and they managed to get until lvl 7-9.
So what is the exact problem? Is the skillgap between 2levels too high? Should I create more easy levels?
Well Kroniax is still in heavy development and thus the levels aren't that balanced. The newer version reduce the difficulity a bit, but I only barely made it past level 4 and haven't beaten level 5 yet.
Hmm, i was afraid that i made the "new" levels too easy
. So the "Share system" will be delayed but i will work hard on the balance of the levels.But i will need some more feedback from you or maybe I will ask my female classmates
. When you are too lazy to write you can send me a PN and I will send you my Skypename or my teamspeakserveraddress to speak about this topicBtw there's some text issue, when starting Kroniax the first time:
Noticed!

Network / Re: How to stop the Selector example
« on: March 11, 2013, 11:15:52 pm »
Thanks for your answer,
yes first the whole code was in the function, the list and all the other things, now i changed it so i can terminate the thread and clear the list in a shutdown function.
I dont want to open another thread so i ask here, i read that the maximum of sent packets per second is 30. Is this per socket? What is the bottleneck for this limitation? CPU, Networkcard, Bandwidth, OS?

Network / How to stop the Selector example
« on: March 11, 2013, 09:00:32 pm »
Hy,
i´m currently working on a server/client application. To detect new clients i use nearly the same function as in the documentation is used
http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/classsf_1_1SocketSelector.php#details
This function is called by a thread, now my problem is that I dont know exactly how to stop the server, because the function will never stop.
* Can i use the terminate function? Will it call the deconsturctor of the sf::TcpSockets in the list?
* Or should i set "running = false" and create a pseudo client who connects to stop the thread?
and another question, in this example "std::list<sf::TcpSocket*>" i have to delete the allocated memory by my own, or?
