I know there are much better ways to implement intro screens and such, but I'm just messing around with SFML first to see its power. The problem with the code below is that the drawIntro() function seems to be returning a blank sprite. If anyone can figure out why, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm using SFML 2.0 RC 25.
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
using namespace std;
sf::Sprite drawIntro();
int main()
{
// Variable declaration
int gameState = 0;
// Create the main window
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML works!");
sf::Text text("Hello SFML");
while (window.isOpen())
{
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
// Clear screen
window.clear();
// Game logic
switch(gameState)
{
case 0:
window.draw(drawIntro());
break;
case 1:
break;
case 3:
break;
}
//window.draw(text);
// Update the window
window.display();
}
return 0;
}
sf::Sprite drawIntro()
{
// Create a new render-texture
sf::RenderTexture texture;
//texture.create(800, 600);
if (!texture.create(800, 600))
cout<< "Unable to create texture" << endl;
//return -1;
// Declare and load a font
//sf::Font font;
//font.loadFromFile("resources/fonts/lazy.ttf");
//sf::Text text("test");
/*text.setFont(font);
text.setCharacterSize(30);
text.setStyle(sf::Text::Bold);
text.setColor(sf::Color::Red);*/
texture.clear(sf::Color::Black);
//texture.draw(text);
texture.display();
sf::Sprite sprite(texture.getTexture());
return sprite;
}
