Take your time, no hurry.

I read the road map and I noticed this:

Done - ready for next version
- SYSTEM Added types and conversion functions to handle all Unicode formats
- GENERAL SFML now uses UTF-32 for all text related stuff instead of UCS-2

Will this speed up the SetText-method for visual studio that you were talking about earlier or is it something else?

Actually, the performances issue with strings was a stupid thing which is fixed.

I'm also going to improve the sf::String rendering code to optimize it, but it's already way faster than before.

It definitely got faster. I got 5000 fps before, now I get 24000 fps.
I almost thought that there was something wrong with my message box rendering code.

OMFG ! You work on a Cray XT5 ? =D

I confirm, string is now a lot faster than before.

Nope, it's a 8800GTX, rendering nothing but a message box (only a few lines of OpenGL code) + fps string in a 320x240 window (it drops to an average 15000 fps if I change the resolution to 640x480).
Don't worry, it gets slower the more I draw on the screen. :wink:

lollll 320X240... I will draw an fps string in a 10X100 window and we will see wich fps i will get XD.

Sounds great. So I don't have to change any of my code to get this speed up, only download the new source?

SirJulio · « **Reply #23 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:30:17 pm »

@Dabo :

Yeap, maybe you'll need to do some changes on your code with the new unicode stuffs. If you don't use wchar at all, just update your svn.

dabo · « **Reply #24 on:** July 29, 2008, 08:52:37 pm »

It's faster for sure

Great job!

ROFL!!! I will do it this night if you really want a result XD.

Hi boys.. I have the same problem and read all but not see results..
I'm using SFML 1.3 too as wrote on first post.

updated/fixed SFML Code that work faster with SetText
is 1.3 or is in SVN source?? :?:

Thanks

SirJulio · « **Reply #28 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:24:45 pm »

The svn source. =)

fixus971 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 24, 2008, 10:45:08 am »

Hi Sir.
Yesterday I try svn source but without different results.
I just put svn include/lib dirs into sfml 1.3 sdk and recompile all.
I'm using VC9.
Now I'm working using wstringstream.
