Hello guys i have some sprites that are 16x16 and 32x32 but they are too small,so i thought i can scale the screen so i can see better the sprites but i cant find the function for scaling,can you help me?Thanks !

You can use the zoom() method of the current window's View. For example:

yourRenderWindow.getView().zoom(0.5); // Magnifies everything two times.

Alternatively, you can call scale() method on individual sprites if you want to magnify only specific elements on the screen.

Maybe you should make them bigger? Scaling them with SFML will make everything pixelated, I'm not sure if that's what you want.

yourRenderWindow.getView().zoom(0.5); // Magnifies everything two times.

This won't work directly because of encapsulation. You have to get the view, modify it, and set it again.

True. I didn't notice that the return value from getView() is constant. Use this instead:

auto view = yourRenderWindow.getView();
view.zoom(0.5);
yourRenderWindow.setView(view);
