Looping/scrolling sf::View?

[Haikarainen]

Hey, im working on an application, that will practice ppl's FPS-Aiming skills.

I need a fixedsize "surface", that will seamlessly loop/scroll. the centerposition of everything will be the mouseposition.

Basically i want to simulate a firstperson-shooter view in 2d, on a flat surface. I hope you get my point here.

My question is; Does anyone have a clue or hint how this could be done? im not asking you to write it for me, just asking for tips because i really dont know where to start on the whole seamless loop/scroll thing.

You should attempt to master views and the solution will hopefully become apparent.

Getting real-time mouse input will be necessary to set the center position of the view

I've been using views alot before, also realtime input. The problem im having is to have a SEAMLESS looped view.. so if(mousex > rightedge){mousex = leftedge} wont work,

I'm not generous enough to write a tutorial, but I'll give you a few hints on one way to implement infinitely looping views:

* The background image will have to contain redundant pixel data on it's right and bottom sides that replicates the left and top sides of the background image respectively.
* The amount of redundant pixel data on the background image's right and bottom sides pertains to how many pixels can be seen in the application at one time minus one.
* The redundant pixels can be added to the image file or dynamically added to the image at runtime.
* The view will reset to the opposite side every time it is about to exceed the image pixels on the X or Y axis.
