Joystick not working - using SFML 1.4+SVN Win32...

Hi,

I am not getting anything for the X/Y axis
on my joystick using SFML 1.4+SVN on Windows.

I have a unique setup:
- Windows Vista SP1 32bit
- Super Dual Box Pro (dual PlayStation2 joystick USB adapter)
(have one PS2 joystick plugged into port "Player 1")

Here is my test source:

Code: [Select]
const sf::Input& InputTest = visuals->App.GetInput();

sprintf(visuals->VariableText, "%f", InputTest.GetJoystickAxis(0, sf::Joy::AxisX));
visuals->DrawTextOnScreenBuffer(visuals->VariableText, 22, sf::Color(255, 255, 255, 255), sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255), true, 5, 525, TextLeft);

sprintf(visuals->VariableText, "%f", InputTest.GetJoystickAxis(0, sf::Joy::AxisY));
visuals->DrawTextOnScreenBuffer(visuals->VariableText, 22, sf::Color(255, 255, 255, 255), sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255), true, 5, 550, TextLeft);


I tried different things, but nothing seems to be working on my side.
Any help you can offer me would be appreciated...

Minimum Windows OS & Hardware Requirements ???


Hi,

What are the minimum system requirements under Windows for SFML?
- Minimum Windows OS version
(95, 98, 2000, Me, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7)
- Minimum graphics card and GPU memory

Also, what is the minimum OpenGL version supported by SFML?

Thanks!


My team and I make this game using SFML now:

Graphics / class MyPicture - Copying Image to Sprite...

class MyPicture - Copying Image to Sprite...


Hi,

I am trying to use this class to copy an Image to a Sprite:

Quote
You have to be particularly careful when manipulating images. A sf::Image instance is a resource which is slow to load, heavy to copy and uses a lot of memory.

A lot of people, especially beginners, will just put an instance of sf::Image wherever they have an instance of sf::Sprite, because it may seem the simplest way to draw something. The fact is that it's generally a bad idea. The most obvious problem is when copying such objects (just putting them into an array generates copies) : the sprites will most likely appear white. The reason is that a sprite only points to an external image it doesn't own one, so when the image is copied the sprite has to be updated to point to the new copy of the image. This is quite easy to handle, you just have to define a copy constructor for such classes holding (or deriving from) a sprite and an image :


Code: [Select]
class MyPicture
{
public :

    // This is the copy constructor
    MyPicture(const MyPicture& Copy) : Image(Copy.Image), Sprite(Copy.Sprite)
    {
        // This is the trick : we setup the sprite
        // to use our image, instead of the one of Copy
        Sprite.SetImage(Image);
    }

    // ... a lot of useful functions ...

private :

    sf::Image  Image;
    sf::Sprite Sprite;
};


I am a beginner C++ coder and do not know how to properly call:
MyPicture(const MyPicture& Copy) : Image(Copy.Image), Sprite(Copy.Sprite)

Any help you can offer me would be appreciated!
Thanks...

Graphics / .SetCenter(float CenterX, float CenterY);
« on: February 10, 2009, 03:24:55 am »
.SetCenter(float CenterX, float CenterY);


The above does not work on a previously scaled Sprite.

What am i doing wrong here?

It works on a Sprite of scale 1 only...

Trying to make my game and have wasted hours on this already...

How do I build SFML from SVN on Win-Code::Blocks


Hi,

I'm using 1.4 version now, but there is a serious bug where the program wont start if a USB joystick is plugged in.

I successfully downloaded the SVN branch of SFML.

How do I build it now?

Using Microsoft Vista OS and Code::Blocks is the C++ IDE.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated...

Graphics / How do I center a Sprite while rotating and scaling Sprite ?

How do I center a Sprite while rotating and scaling Sprite ?

Code: [Select]
void Visuals::DisplaySpriteOntoScreenBuffer(uint16_t spriteIndex, float spriteX, float spriteY, bool centerX, sf::Color color, float scaleX, float scaleY, float rotation)
{
Sprites[spriteIndex].SetScale(scaleX, scaleX);
Sprites[spriteIndex].SetRotation(rotation);
Sprites[spriteIndex].SetCenter( (Sprites[spriteIndex].GetSize().x / 2), (Sprites[spriteIndex].GetSize().y / 2) );

if (centerX == true)
{
Sprites[spriteIndex].SetX(320); // Screen size is 640x640...
}
else  Sprites[spriteIndex].SetX(spriteX);

Sprites[spriteIndex].SetY(spriteY);

Sprites[spriteIndex].SetColor(color);

App.Draw(Sprites[spriteIndex]);
}

Above code compiles and links with zero warnings and zero errors...

Any ideas on how to make this work?
(code is from a C++ Class called "Visuals")

Is There A Function To Draw A Single Pixel ??

Hi,

I am making a 2-d space shooter game now.

I would like to have moving stars in the background.
How would I draw a single pixel at (x,y) in a certain color to screen buffer?

Thanks
