I'm pretty new to sfml, I want to make a simple game.
One thing i'm having trouble with is complex sprites.
For example, in my game I want a cannon shaped sprite (one found online), that moves angles based on the users input. I also want a background, for example a blue sky. I roughly know how to animate a sprite, But as far as i'm aware, its pretty difficult to set the boundaries for complex shapes. If i put the cannon sprite in a basic rectangular shape, then wouldn't there be a rectangular boundary around the cannon sprite? and if I wanted it animated, i'm having trouble figuring out how I could put the background around the cannon, without this border.
If it wasn't animated, I could maybe just put the background inside the sprite itself. But even then, what if I wanted a moving background with clouds or whatnot?
