SFML Game Development Book - C# Port

[Dejan Geci]

Recently I decided to port the "SFML Game Development" book to C# in order to learn more about SFML. The code almost maps 1:1 with the C++ until the 7th chapter, which is where I decided to stop. It still might prove useful for someone, so here it is:

You will need Visual Studio 2010 Express to compile.

FYI

sf::Clock -> System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
sf::Time -> System.TimeSpan
sf::Time.asSeconds() -> TimeSpan.Milliseconds / 1000f

std::size_t -> int

This isn't a missing feature, if you really want 1:1 mapping the C# equivalent would be IntPtr. However assuming you are using the type for indexing containers then an int fits the bill just fine.

I decided to use 2.1, and Clock and Time classes were added after that. As for the std::size_t, wasn't really sure what it is, so I used int.

Nice to see somebody port the code to C#, thanks!

Cool stuff! Thanks for the hard work! I, personally, appreciate it.

Codebase updated to SFML 2.2.
- Using Clock and Time instead of Stopwatch and TimeSpan
- Indentation converted to 2-space

Only nitpicking but,I would say that uint maps better to size_t because size_t is unsigned by definition.

Yes, that would map better... but in the CLI all index types use a signed int as the type. In C++ the STD uses size_t for container indexing and such.

Also using an unsigned int would require casts. You can't implicitly cast an uint to an int.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.  I'm new to SFML and with the book your source code will no doubt save me a lot of hair pulling.
