Well, do it the way you prefer, you're not forced to use the same name for all the overloads. CSFML uses three functions: UpdateFromPixels, UpdateFromImage and UpdateFromWindow.


Well since I don't have any online reference for rbSFML and the documentation is easily out of date I try to keep it as close to C++ SFML as possible so you can use your online documentation. I even break the Ruby code standard(but still support it) so that you can use the same symbols as you could in C++ so it's easy to get started. I feel making it easier to use is way more important than making it easier for me to develop it.

So you could say that this is the way I prefer it just that I got unlucky with having so many overloaded methods. :wink:

Anyway it was not as hard to do as I made it sound just that the code became a little ugly and obscure for my taste. I like it when you can read the code straight of and immediately get a grip of what's going on.

Great addition to SFML2. Breaks my 10K+ source lines of code project at a lot of places, but also enhances the usage. Thanks :)

The only drawback of this modification is that you can't retrieve pixels from a texture, and thus from a sprite, anymore. For pixel-perfect collision detection you must now store the collision data yourself (which allows more optimizations, by the way).


Why was this needed? This breaks ALOT of stuff for me :/ also my project has been on ice in waiting for SFML2 Release, and now this? WHY? :( youre breaking my heart......



...


What about tile-based games (think legend of zelda/shining force)? If you have a texture loaded into video memory with all tiles (like: dirt, grass, stone, entrance). Wouldn't a texture.Copy(texture, coordinates,intrect) be the fastest way to go about this?

Also, it seems like it would be compatible with earlier versions - and give users greater freedom in their coding.

Lol, i was really tired and cranky when i wrote that :P Been thinking about it and i really like this change! Will create  2darrays of bools to generate collisionmaps at resourceloading, this will give me way more freedom and also speed up gameplay and performance significantly!

Is this supposed to cause the speakers to repeatedly beep?
Also it crashes and the file is in the application directory.

Code: [Select]

sf::Texture texture;
texture.LoadFromFile("green_128.png");

Of course not... so please open a new thread and give all the required details.

Sorry. I actually deleted that test project. The code was really that simple though. Just initialization and a sound played on the LoadFromFile() line.

I believe that the strange behavior was a result of linking the libs wrong. Maybe linking to release from a debug build. That solved some other strange issues I had in another project, but I have not tested it here.

You would probably know more than I if that could cause such a problem?
