not so smooth transition to C# (sharp noob lol)

[Charlie]

I was messing around with the dot net library and GAAHH I dunno why I'm having such a hard time with it, but I can't even figure out how to do keypressed to make a sprite move..
Someone tell me and make me feel stupid now lol.
So far I'm way more confused with C# than with C++! lol

[Laurent]

Have you first read the C++ tutorials and .Net API documentation?

[Charlie]

well I'm using 2.0..didn't see any tutorials besides the setup part..
In C++ I used GetInput().isKeyDown .....i think that was 1.6 though.

basically not picking up on the syntax..

I'm just wondering what the actual syntax is for using isKeyDown ...don't actually need sprite moving code

[Laurent]

If you search the forum you'll find that sf::Input has been replaced with sf::Keyboard / sf::Mouse / sf::Joystick.

In the API doc, looking at the list of classes in the sfml-window module (which is not huge), you can also easily spot sf::Keyboard.

[Charlie]

yeah i've looked at that and see:


public static bool IsKeyPressed(
   Keyboard..::..Key key
)

but i still dont get the actual syntax to be used.....

[Laurent]

if (Keyboard.IsKeyPressed(Keyboard.Left))
{
    ...
}

[Charlie]

Hmmm that was actually exactly what I was attempting but when i do I only get these options:

if (Keyboard.IsKeyPressed(Keyboard.(Equals/isKeyPressed/Key/ReferenceEquals) )
{
}

[Laurent]

Sorry, it's Keyboard.Key.Left (in C#, the name of the enum is part of the full name, unlike in C++03).

[Charlie]

yep that did it. thanks...and of course now it looks so obvious. lol
