SFML 2.0 RC

[Deftwun]

You were correct Laurent. Apparently my drivers were not installed correctly so I was stuck with Opengl 1.1. I reinstalled my video drivers and I now have OpenGL 3.3. Error messages gone life is good. Sorry for the false alarm.

Hey awesome, well I'll be using this for Ludum Dare this weekend, so I'll let you know if I encounter any bugs!

Good work Laurent and his minions/bug catchers!

This is also a RC of the tutorial. Tell me if something that is not clear enough, should be developed, added, removed, ...

There is no french version yet; I'll write it after you gave me some feedback on this first draft.

    // Create the window with the OpenGL 3.2 Context.
    window = new sf::Window(sf::VideoMode(800,600,32),"RadiumCoreCross",sf::Style::Close,sf::ContextSettings(24,8,4,3,2));
    std::cout << "OpenGL Version" << window->getSettings().ContextSettings::majorVersion << "." << window->getSettings().ContextSettings::minorVersion << std::endl;
    sf::ContextSettings settings = window->getSettings();
    std::cout << settings.majorVersion << "." << settings.minorVersion << std::endl;

It appears on osx lion where 3.2 opengl is supported the context isn't being set to 3.2 but rather 2.1 opengl instead?

Is 3.2 opengl supported for SFML 2.0 ?

[Hiura]

OGL 3.2 is not supported on Mac.

That is incorrect OGL 3.2 is supported and I have used GLFW to render with it. I am on OSX Lion 10.3 of course. My guess is that this SFML does not support 3.2 for OSX Lion.

[Hiura]

did you click on the link I gave above and read the text ? 

[mchung]

Yeah I did 5 seconds ago haha thanks, awww man I really wanted to use 3.2 I guess Ill have to wait then =(

Laurent, some time ago you wanted to rename the CMake variable SFMLDIR to SFML_ROOT in order to avoid confusion with other (CMake-proposed) variables like SFML_DIR. Is that still a topic?

Yes, I'll probably do that for the final 2.0 release (I have other CMake renaming to do).

SFML 2!?

Done.

Does the move to SFML 2.0 decouple the OpenGL window stuff ( AKA, is it easier to port to ES 2)?

Regardless, congrats.

[Laurent]

Yes, absolutely. But there are still important modifications left to do before SFML is 100% ready to be ported to OpenGL ES 2.
