Issue with SFML Game Development book example

[James A]

Hi,

I am reading through 'SFML Game Development' and I was up to the first example - getting a player to move a circle with WASD. Unfortunately, after going through the steps, when I ran my code the circle did nothing. Furthermore, I ran the example off github and It didn't do anything either. My goal is to get this to work. Do you have any advice?

Should work fine. What's your OS?

My OS is Windows 10.

So when you run it in debug mode, do you get key press events?

Yes. I changed the handlePlayerInput function to print what key was pressed, however, as I said, the circle is not doing anything.

The question was whether the events get triggered or not.

Start your debugger and step to the program to figure out where things go wrong.
