Why use Sprite instead of textured RectangleShape?
« on: June 22, 2013, 06:57:40 pm »
Hello, is there any technical advantage of using the Sprite class instead of just creating a rectangle and applying a texture to it?

sf::Sprite is more specialized, which means that both its API and its code are optimized for what it does.
