Creating Images instead of Loading Images?

[Hazique35]

Hi, Ive got SFML running today and its really fun! I was wondering, is it possible to create different images in SFML? I know creating squares and circles is easy, but I mean something like characters in games? Or do you need to create the image in an application such as photoshop and then run import it?

Thanks

Yes, this is the purpose of sprites.

You create the graphics externally, and load them using sf::Texture to your application. A sf::Sprite object can then use the texture to display it on the screen.

See also the SFML documentation and tutorials.
