How to manage different screens?
« on: March 13, 2012, 12:53:35 am »
Hello guys,

I just can't figure it out, what is a proper way of using multiple screens. By this I mean a flash screen, menu, in-game, options etc.

Can someone explain this to me?

Thx in advance.

You can control the time (with sf::Clock) and then decide on what to print based on that. You can also control input events and use them to manage the menu options.

If you want something automatic, you should search for a game engine instead.
