SFML 2 Pong game update proposal
« on: August 16, 2011, 09:12:07 am »
Hello!

This might not be the ideal forum section so please move my topic if it's misplaced here. Also I don't know if you're open to such modifications or not.

I've modified a little bit the SFML 2 Pong example to slightly enhance the gameplay, that is:
    - there is a 1 second delay before a round starts (shows how to use an sf::Clock),
    - the game restarts when a player scores a point (encourages to play),
    - the scores are printed on the screen instead of the end text (show how to print variables with sf::Text),
    - fixes AITime to sf::Uint32,
    - added comments.


Just an idea: a new sound (a whistle) could be played on every new round.

I think along with these enhancement the example is still encouraging the new users to modify it but also to play with it.
What do you think?

The code:

By the way, I've found an ideal sound for the whistle idea: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=90743
