Unique names for rectangles in class
« on: August 08, 2021, 01:20:31 pm »
Hello! I'm new to SFML and I try to create a game 2048. So, I create a class, that have a function to create and draw rectangle with:
sf::RectangleShape rect(sf::Vector2f(130.f, 130.f));
                rect.move(20.f, 20.f);
                rect.setFillColor(sf::Color(255, 160, 122));
                window.draw(rect);
But if I need to create two or more objects of this class, it will not work correctly because it create and draw one rectangle with one name. So, can I create a class, that will give an unique name for all rectangles and how?
And sorry for my english.

If you want an undefined number of rectangle, you'll need a container (and learn how to use it), like an std::vector from the C++ standard library

Thanks you! But if I need only 16, can I use another method?

If you need a fixed number of rectangles you can use arrays, old school arrays or std::array from the standard library.

sf::RectangleShape rect[16];
