How do I load relatively
« on: July 26, 2020, 03:41:07 pm »
Right now i am loading a texture from this directory:

arrow.loadFromFile("/Users/oliverswan/Desktop/SFML/Coin\ Flip/Coin\ Flip/arrow.png");

But I want to load from my project folder which is the first Coin Flip Folder. Help!

Nice chaos. Don't use system paths and don't put files on your desktop.

Create folder on C:\ like "C:\Dev", put all your projects there, then put your assets (graphics, audio..) into specific project folder and use relative path, which will be just name of file or something like "Textures/texture.png" if you create extra folders.

If the working directory is (definitely) the first coin flip folder, you can use the rest of the path as a relative one: "Coin Flip/arrow.png". If the working directory is the second coin flip folder, the relative path would just be the file: "arrow.png".
