How to display numbers in a window?

[Star]

Hi everyone!

I am using SFML 2.2 and VS 13.
My OS: Win 8.1 x64

I am trying to display some numbers in a window. But my window still stay black
I am trying it with the following code

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

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "Test", sf::Style::Default);

        int number = 1000;

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }

                sf::Font font;
                if (!font.loadFromFile("font.ttf"))
                {
                        std::cerr << "error";
                }

                std::ostringstream oss;
                oss << number;

                sf::Text text;
                text.setFont(font);
                text.setString(oss.str());
                text.setColor(sf::Color::Red);
                text.setPosition(400, 300);

                window.clear();

                window.draw(text);

                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}
 

I am sending this code my friends and he work perfect!
What is my problem?

P.S. Sorry for my english, but i hope you understand me!

Does the font get loaded?

Load the font outside the game loop.

[Dejan Geci]

As Laurent said, you should load the font outside of the game loop. In your code, the font is loaded many times per second and it totally unnecessary Also check if the "font.ttf" is in the same folder as your .exe file. Does this work?

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

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "Test", sf::Style::Default);

    sf::Font font;
    if (!font.loadFromFile("font.ttf"))
    {
        std::cerr << "error";
    }

    int number = 1000;
    std::ostringstream oss;
    oss << number;

    sf::Text text;
    text.setFont(font);
    text.setString(oss.str());
    text.setColor(sf::Color::Red);
    text.setPosition(400, 300);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();

        window.draw(text);

        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

The problem was in the font, but not in the location of the font.
Font does not contain numbers, so I guess there was no picture.

Thank you for your participation, dejan.geci, Laurent, eXpl0it3r
