Simple help needed regarding sf::String.

[rojan_neo]

How would I use an integer variable as a parameter for sf::String.
For eg:
I have a integer variable named m_score that keeps track of player's score. How would I display this information on screen using sf::String (OR IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO DISPLAY THIS ON SCREEN??)

I am using SFML 1.6

Use std::stringstream to convert int to std::string, which can be passed as constructor argument to sf::String.

I got a neat little function for doing those conversions for me:

Code: [Select]


#include <sstream>
#include <string>

template< class Type >
std::string ConvertToString( const Type &aValue )
{
std::stringstream stream;
stream << aValue;
return stream.str();
}

int main()
{
int foo = 5;
float bar = 1.27f;
std::string text = ConvertToString< int >( foo );
text += ConvertToString< float >( bar );
return 0;
}

A standard library that is compliant to C++11 has a function std::to_string() which does the same as Groogy's ConvertToString(), but probably more optimized. The alternative is boost::lexical_cast().
