Window vs. RenderWindow
« on: April 09, 2008, 10:56:57 pm »
Hi,

I'm using SFML 1.2 on a linux(debian)-box.
I tried the code from the documentation, which creates a window with class RenderWindow. For the image in backround i used one with some nice girls, by the way... :P ... everything works fine.
Next i started to try "Opening a Window" as shown in Tutorial. There the App.-Window is created with Window. In this window, the girls are stil visible, but distorted. The point is not the distortion, but why are they visible?

As said in the tutorial, if nothing is drawn in the window then there could be anything, most likely the content of the video memory (ie. the last thing you displayed -- your cute girls :)).

You need at least to call glClear if you want your window to be filled with a color.

That's what happens when you are looking at cute girls at the same time. :D
