drawing a pointer to a sprite
« on: August 27, 2013, 02:17:58 am »
I need to store sprites in a vector but with what I'm trying to do I need to use a vector of pointers to sprites. When I try to draw the pointer to the sprite I get a compile error saying that the Window.Draw() function cannot take a pointer to a sprite. Does anyone know a way to draw a pointer to a sprite?

Can't you just dereference the pointer?

Are you sure that you need to use a vector of pointers? If so, I hope the pointers do not own the object, otherwise you should really use smart pointers.

And yes if you get a pointer of a sprite from a vector, you'll simply have to dereference it.
