Cost of sf::Sprite and sf::Text
« on: April 11, 2011, 09:52:19 pm »
I'm curious how expensive it is to create sf::Sprite and sf::Text object from already existing sf::Image and sf::Font. Do they just keep a pointer to these objects or is there some more costly process going on?

Yes, the classes sf::Sprite, sf::Text, sf::Sound are just lightweight frontends to the heavyweight resources sf::Image, sf::Font, sf::SoundBuffer.

It is actually as light as it looks :D

Sprites are ultra-fast except if you consider that they are individual quads being drawn, which slows down the process :)
