Question about bouncing

[mnajrg]

How can I make the ball bounce back if it reaches the end of the screen?

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main()
{
    int screen_w = 640;
    int screen_h = 480;
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(screen_w,screen_h), "SAMPLE");
    sf::Image image;
    image.loadFromFile("ball.png");
    image.createMaskFromColor(sf::Color(255,0,255));
    sf::Texture texture;
    texture.loadFromImage(image);
    sf::Sprite sprite(texture);
    float ballx = 0.1;
    float bally = 0.0;
    while(window.isOpen())
    {
        sprite.move(ballx,bally);
        window.clear();
        window.draw(sprite);
        window.display();
               
        sf::Event event;
        while(window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Escape))
            window.close();
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left))
            {
            ballx = -0.1;
            bally = 0.0;
            }
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right))
            {
            ballx = 0.1;
            bally = 0.0;
            }
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down))
            {
            bally = 0.1;
            ballx = 0.0;
            }
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up))
            {
            bally = -0.1;
            ballx = 0.0;
            }

        }    
    }
}

Don't use the sf::Keyboard with in the event loop, otherwise the checks will only happen when an event is triggered, which doesn't make sense, since sf::Keyboard doesn't have anything to do with events...

To 'bounce' a ball you can simply negate the X or Y speed, depending if it hits the top or botton (Y) or left or right (X).

Yes thats what I want but what will I use to make ballx negate when it reaches the end of X of screen?

Im trying this code but its wrong..

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    int screen_w = 640;
    int screen_h = 480;
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(screen_w,screen_h), "SAMPLE");
    sf::Image image;
    image.loadFromFile("ball.png");
    image.createMaskFromColor(sf::Color(255,0,255));
    sf::Texture texture;
    texture.loadFromImage(image);
    sf::Sprite sprite(texture);
    float ballx = 0.1;
    float bally = 0.0;
    while(window.isOpen())
    {
        sprite.move(ballx,bally);
        window.clear();
        window.draw(sprite);
        window.display();

        sf::Event event;
        while(window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Escape))
            window.close();
        }
        if(sprite.getPosition().x <= screen_w-20)
        ballx = -0.1;
    }
}

Of course it's wrong, although you don't explain what's wrong.
You want to invert ballx if your sprite.x reaches screen_w - 20: so you want to react if ballx is GREATER OR EQUAL than screen_w-20.

(also, use the code tag, not the quote ^^)
