Sprite tearing problem?

[Geners]

This is what's happening when I load certain sprites. Is it just that they're too big? Is this a known problem with SFML?

Here is my code (It's long) Tell me if posting the sprite map we're using would help (I load the charizard sprite under the function EVOLVE(); )

It's not something that should happen. Just to clarify, the big line from the character to the right is not intended, right?

You should create a minimal but complete example. At best you start a new project and simply draw the sprite that causes issues. Also make surd your graphics driver is up to date.

Weird things will happen when you have drawing code setup the way you do. I highly recommend that you reread the official tutorials again and pay close attention to how you are supposed to handle textures and the drawing loop.

Mixing multiple load/clear/draw/display calls inside event handling is a terrible way to write code and is inefficient.

Furthermore, you duplicate loads of code. If you have a look at the overall code structure, you will notice that many parts look very similar -- identical apart from some values (concretely, I'm referring to the various if and while blocks). These are typical examples to outsource into functions. It will make your code shorter, more readable and much easier to maintain.

A single main function and global variables are not scalable either. If you plan to make a bigger project, object-oriented programming is a must. In addition to the code-design problems, global SFML variables are very likely to provoke technical problems. Avoid global variables at all costs.
