Drawings not being updated to window
« on: April 04, 2018, 04:37:08 am »
I am trying to create a snake game in SFML, and I can't figure out what is happening because the window is not updating with the new position of the snake. Here is my code.

main.cpp
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include "write.h"
#include <SFML/Graphics/Font.hpp>
#include "menu.h"
#include "snake.h"
int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow windows(sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode(), "SFML works!",sf::Style::None);
sf::Font fonts;

if(!fonts.loadFromFile("assets/bit.ttf"))
{

std::cerr << "Error loading font" << std::endl;
}

std::string gameScreen = "Main Menu";
    while(windows.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
       
        while (windows.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            {
                windows.close();
            }
            if(event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed)
            {
            }
            if(event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape)
            {
             
                 windows.close();
            }
           
            if(event.type == sf::Event::MouseMoved)
            {


            }
           
        }
     
       
       
       
      if(gameScreen == "Main Menu")
      {
        gameScreen =  buildMenu(fonts,windows);

      }
       
       if(gameScreen == "Play Game")
       {
         Snake snake1(10,100,500);
         snake1.drawSnake(windows);
         snake1.moveForward(windows);

       }
    }
     return 0;
   
    }

   

   Snake.cpp
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics/Font.hpp>
#include "snake.h"

Snake::Snake( int s, int gx, int gy)          //size,color,x,y)
{
   size = s;
   x = gx;
    y=gy;

}


void Snake::drawSnake(sf::RenderWindow& window)
{
sf::RectangleShape rectangle2;
rectangle2.setSize(sf::Vector2f(size*10, 20));
rectangle2.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Transparent);
rectangle2.setOutlineThickness(10);
rectangle2.setPosition(x,y);
rectangle2.setFillColor(sf::Color::White);
window.clear();
window.draw(rectangle2);
window.display();
}
void Snake::moveForward(sf::RenderWindow& window)
{
    Snake::drawSnake(window);
    x = x+1;
}

 

snake.h
#ifndef SNAKE_H
#define SNAKE_H
class Snake
{
    int size;
   int x;
   int y;
public:
Snake(int s, int gx,int gy);
void moveForward(sf::RenderWindow& window);
//left();
//right();
void drawSnake(sf::RenderWindow& window);
};


#endif

Looks like you're creating a new snake every frame.
It's almost definitely better to create it once outside the main loop and then manipulate it inside the loop.
