Counter without background

[schipleon]

Hello!
I'm rather new to SFML and have been searching this forum as well for alternatives, without success.

I've a counter which is drawn to the screen by the label-creator below.
Every time the counter is increased, a white rectangle is erasing the number and as such the new number is displaying with the old text erased.

The problem now, is that I cannot have any nice background, because obviously there is a white rectangle all the time.

How to solve this problem? Any ideas?

The best situation would be that the changing number (or changing string) is deleted automatically without the need of any color, to put the new output on top. In such a way at least I can have a background. Do you think that's possible?

All the best!

You're making things too complicated.just erase the whole window, draw the background you want, generate the needed string and draw it as text.
No need to keep track of the old text or any white rectangles.

You should always clear the full screen and redraw everything. Don't try to only redraw parts of the screen.

You rendering part of the loop should always look similar to:
window.clear()
window.draw(x)
window.draw(y)
window.draw(z)
...
window.display()
