Little sfml correction

[Mr_Blame]

Hellow
After some hours of playing with SFML i noticed very strange api design, especially i am talking about sf::Sprite and sf::RectangleShape especially about setTexture method in Sprite it takes Texture reference but in Rectangleshape it reauires texture pointer. This prevnts rewriting code very fast because when you nedd to replace Sprite with Rectangleshape youmwill need to insert a lot of '&' symbols. If it is part of api style then sorry.

This is indeed an odd little quirk but it's been mentioned here before and it's due to the fact that the sf::Shapes can be assigned a texture pointer of NULL as they can be used without textures whereas an sf::Sprite is not intended to be used without a texture.

i want to say that from tecnical side sprite can be without texture too

If you have a decent IDE (qtcreator) or other halfway decent refactoring tools at your disposal (I use emacs and even there I have tools (like "M-x tags-query-replace" that gets stuff like this done in a jiffy), making such a change should take all of 30 seconds across your entire codebase.
I don't see the problem (except if you are editing code using Notepad or similar - but then you have other (bigger) problems).

A sprite without a texture is just a rectangle 

Sprites are designed to show parts of textures. That's what sprites are. If you want a rectangle, use a rectangle shape

Firstly, i think lience does not allows to modify SFML code
Secondly, rectangleshape as i remember weights more.
P.S. i am using visual studio 2015

The kind of thing you do everyday...

Have you actually read it? It's really short, and there's not such a limitation.

Secondly, rectangleshape as i remember weights more.

Slightly. 6 vertices / 2 triangles versus 6 vertices / 4 triangles.

Yes? Sorry i just didnt understand it well. Need i to write something that says that have modified the code

Only if you distribute your modifications.

In short: "Do whatever you want, just don't pretend you've written it."

If you don't distribute the source, you don't have to document anything. And if you do, just track your changes in a repository (like a fork on GitHub) and you're fine.

[Mr_Blame]

can you please give me a look hoe this looks like(sorry I don't work with git much)

[Jesper Juhl]

Are you going to modify sfml? I would think you'd just modify your own code. At least that's what I hinted at would be simple if you use decent tools...
