sf::Keyboard question
« on: April 23, 2015, 10:13:09 pm »
I am making an app that need keyboard input, and I need it so when you press a key it 'permantley' makes a sprite appear, not just while the key is pressed. Not sure how to do this. And yes I have read the tutorials and looked for other questions like this, but it says sf::keyboard has only one function which isKeyPressed. Here is the bit of code
if (sf::Keyboard:IsKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::S))
{
//something
}
//need the sprite to draw here if the key has been pressed once

bool pressed = false;
//before loop

if (sf::Keyboard:IsKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::S))
{
      pressed = true;
}
//need the sprite to draw here if the key has been pressed once
if(pressed) drawSprite();

Something like this?

Simple.
1. Detect key press
2. Remember that key was pressed.
3. Display sprite if key was ever pressed (see 2).

Your program can save state beyond a single frame you know.
