Hello

I seem to have a strange problem with Sprite::GetCenter using the latest trunc from SVN. Basically, it always returns coordinates 0.0, 0.0

Is this a known issue?

My system is Windows 7 x64, VC++ 2008 express

It's not the center like (width / 2, height / 2), it's the center of translation/rotation/scaling that you set with SetCenter. So yes, it's always (0, 0) until you change it

Ahh, I get it.
Thanks for the quick reply

In SFML 2, the method is called GetOrigin(), this name is less confusing.

Agree.
So I assume SFML2 won't be backward compatible with SFML?

Absolutely, a lot of things have completely changed. That's why it is SFML 2.0 and not SFML 1.6

Another reason to switch now to SFML 2 and not after the current project is finished in SFML 1.5.

No, I am very glad that backward compatibility doesn't get first priority. Better make a clean, uniform interface and force some users to change code than keeping old relicts and begin to mark library parts as deprecated. SFML is so well-designed, it would be a pity to limit its progress.
