Context Settings General Questions
« on: December 26, 2018, 04:34:14 am »
Hi, I'm new to SFML and I am just trying to understand what all of the initialization variables mean. What exactly are depth and stencil buffers?

Also, what exactly does 'major version of context to create' (for majorVersion) as well as 'minor version of context to create' (for minorVersion)?

There's nothing specific to SFML here, everything in ContextSettings directly refers to OpenGL stuff. So you can just search "OpenGL depth buffer", or "OpenGL context version", for example, to get detailed explanations.
