Hello!
« on: June 06, 2012, 11:41:30 am »
Hi all!
I am new to this forum and as many others, i found sfml for programming games in C/C++
Since i don't know how to code sfml (though i have coded in Allegro) i need help with videos, or books.
Don't tell me pls about posts in forums where people explain things. I want an all-in-one so i can study from
beginning and make what i want. The book is the best alternative, as with videos i didn't find any tutorials
which explain from beginning to end.
Thanks!

Laurent

Yeah, start with tutorials here, SFML is quite well documented.  Once you've done that, you can consider my tutorial series, that shows you how to put it all together into an actual game.

There are no books, at least, not to my knowledge.  Then again, you don't really need one.

You basically need a good 'stock' knowledge in C++, understanding of how libraries work/how you can work with libraries and then you'll need the documentation.

The second point can be optained through the tutorials and a bit experimentation, but the more important first point will have to be learned by reading books on your own.  ;)
And the documentation can be found here.
