SFML 2.0 Tutorials. Loading Textures error

[The New Guy]

So I have recently started with C++ development and I stumbled upon SFML after playing around with SDL. Regarding, tutorials of SFML 2.0 are there any good ones out there? I am going off of SFML 1.6 and just learning the differences(texture and not image, lots of case sensitive changes, etc). It doesn't seem it would be to hard to convet the 1.6 tuts to 2.0 since the changes are minor for somethings. I may have no idea what I am talking about so proceed to smashing me.


Also I am having problems loading images, it can't find the file in VS2010. I have the file saved in the project directory, but its a no go. Any ideas?

P.S. Sorry for not putting the second part in Help Section.

I'm still writing them, you'll have to be patient. If you already know SFML 1.6, you can use the API documentation and the General forum to find out what has changed. There's usually a thread here for each major modification.

Don't be sorry, just do it

Haha will do. I don't actually know 1.6. I started the tuts and then I read on the forums that people just said to start 2.0 since that is where SFML is going.

Fun Fact: The only reason I started a forum account is becase of your sarcastic upfront attitude that made me laugh a lot more than I'd like to admit. Hope you are looking forward to answering my boat load of questions that will come up.

The old SFML 1.6 sf::Image and the new SFML 2.0 sf::Texture are function wise equivalent, except you can't do direct pixel manipulation. For this there still exists the new SFML 2.0 sf::Image.
This basically means you can replace all the old sf::Image with sf::Texture.

The function name changing is a bit annoying but there's nothing special. All functions are now camelCase insteald of CamelCase.

If you haven't changed anything in the project settings about this matter, the default working directory would be next to the .vcxproj. This then only works if you run the application from within VS. If you run it via the explorer you need to put the files next to the .exe.

Appreciate the info. I am at work currently, and I believe I have the image saved in the same directory as the project file. Once I get home I will check over and if I can't get it to work I will bug you guys some more.
