Is there anyway not to have a console window?
« on: January 10, 2011, 01:07:05 pm »
i have been learning sfml for 2 days and i dunno if I'm the only one who gets annoyed by this, is there any option in visual c++ so it wont show a console window or anyway not to have it come using some kind of code in SFML

also does anyone know how to make click able buttons like what u would have in a menu of a game

and finally does anyone know how to make it full screen, the window covering the whole screen with no start bar and stuff.

Thanks, your guys have been so helpful

Use a window application instead of a console application. You have to link to sfml-main if you do this. This is written in the window tutorial, by the way.

You need a GUI library, see here. For simple things, you can also draw the shapes yourself.

Yes, that's also explained in the tutorials.

By the way, the poll is quite inappropriate.
