This should work, I haven't tested it so tell me if there's any errors. Probably careless ones on my part. Also, the only reason I wrote this code for you is to start off. Nobody in the community will write much code for you, so you'll have to learn the API. Start reading the documentation here:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/. There's tutorials here:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/. Notice that I gave you documentation and tutorials for SFML 2.0, which is what everybody should be using. Make sure that you're using that version. Anyways, I hope that you stay around and eventually make some badass games
