OSX build displays strange results. [C++,OSX]

[jakobnator]

I have a macbook that I use for school and I am trying to get SFML to work for it but I don't consider myself an expert in xcode or OSX. I copied the code and images from my game and it builds, it doesn't load images though. However I get a strange result. (It also flashes in a siezure inducing manner)

Has anyone else ever had this problem is there something I need to do to my code in osx that doesn't need to be done in windows?

Here is my code sorry its not very well documented.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
        using namespace sf;
        using namespace std;
        RenderWindow window;
        window.create(VideoMode(800, 600), "Red vs. Green Peppers", Style::Close);
   
        Texture tGreenpepper;
        if (tGreenpepper.loadFromFile("Assets/Greenpepper.png"))
                cout << "Loaded Greenpepper.png" << endl;
   
        Texture tRedpepper;
        if (tRedpepper.loadFromFile("Assets/Redpepper.png"))
                cout << "Loaded Redpepper.png" << endl;
   
        Texture tBoard;
        if (tBoard.loadFromFile("Assets/Board.png"))
                cout << "Loaded Board.png" << endl;
   
        Texture tMenu;
        if (tMenu.loadFromFile("Assets/Menu.png"))
                cout << "Loaded Menu.png" << endl;
   
        bool bFilled[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
        bool bMenudebounce = false;
        int iTurns = 1;
   
        Sprite sPlaceholder;
        Sprite sBoard[9];
        Sprite sBackground;

        sBackground.setTexture(tBoard);
        sMenu.setTexture(tMenu);
        // main loop
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                if (iTurns % 2 == 0){
                        sPlaceholder.setTexture(tGreenpepper);
                }
                else{
                        sPlaceholder.setTexture(tRedpepper);

Why is this in the CSFML sub forum?
Anyways where is the call to clear?

[jakobnator]

Thanks, I guess window.clear() isn't necessary in windows all the time? However it still isn't loading any of the images. Are directories different from windows e.g. Assets/image.png

It is necessary, it's how SFML work: clear, draw, display.

However it still isn't loading any of the images. Are directories different from windows e.g. Assets/image.png

Files get searched in the working directory. This is the directory the application is called from or some IDEs let you set it specifically.

I have the files in the working directory I placed it in all the folders through process of elimination and still none of them load, are OSX directories different \ instead of / perhaps?

Looks like I missed the OS X part in the title.

Well on OS X things usually work a bit different, afaik. I think usually one goes with some ResourcePath header file, but since I've no idea about OS X development, you can either wait till someone more knowledgeable comes around or google for it. I think we should even have a discussion somewhere around here.

And no, you should always use forward slashes.

[jakobnator]

I added the Resourcepath.hpp and Resourcepath.mm from the Xcode template which can load images using the format

icon.loadFromFile(resourcePath() + "icon.png")

which doesn't work. I did some googling on the SFML forum and all the links lead to a dead thread or saying use the full directory  home/user/documents/ etc.....
which doesn't work.

[jakobnator]

I fixed it, make sure they are in the same path relative to the .app file.

Re-read the end of the getting started tutorial for OS X, you'll find a part explaining how to add resource to your project.
