Hello! I'm new to SFML

and I wonder is it recommended to use SFML for making 2.5D game such as 2029 online:

If you have to ask such a question, you're in for a very bumpy ride. Game programming is a very hard task and even though you might have some game in mind to aim for, you'll fail to reach that goal.

All in all, yes SFML can be used for 2D and 3D stuff. The posted link is more 3D than 2 or 2.5D. SFML itself offers only funtionalities for 2D drawing, but you can use OpenGL directly, so anything that OpenGL can, "SFML can".

thanks for your reply. I have always wanted to learn OpenGl, but people suggested me to first learn SFML library.

Well yes. Maybe I didn't made it clear enough. Before you start taking up such a huge project, that you'll fail at anyways, you should first learn how to properly program with C++ (code design, design pattern, etc.), then start with very small games, at best game clones and at the end take on bigger projects. If you pull through till then, you might want to hunt for your dream game.

I completely agree with eXpl0it3r here. Try your hand at something like pacman, tetris, frogger, snake or any other classic. Get a feel for it and watch yourself get frustrated at even such a small game (we were all there once)

Best of luck to you!

Of course that I won't start with such a big project lol, first I'l make small games for linux such as snake game since I love that game.
