Sprite batching?

[ILostMyAccount]

Can someone explain me what exactly is the sprite batching?
And can you link me an example of code in SFML?

Thank you.

How about you use the search function to find it yourself?
Because that's exactly what I now have to do, just so you don't have to do it....

I'd like an answer for this too. I assumed that having a single spritesheet with all the sprites for different objects would be fine, and I could just draw each thing individually, and since it uses the same spritesheet (albeit with different coordinates for the intrect), it would be fine.
Apparently that's not the case.

Also, I used the search function and could not find another topic for this.

In short: Sprite Batching is a way to draw lots of things all in one draw call. All those things must come from the same texture.

Here's how I came up with my own way to do sprite batching:

It uses a sf::VertexArray to draw everything.
