The window flashes black
« on: July 26, 2012, 05:25:56 pm »
I am making a game that when opened will display a menu but when my program goes through the loop it flashes that pic and black....here is my code
sf::Event Event;

    while(rw.IsOpened())
    {
        while(rw.GetEvent(Event))
       {
           if(Event.Type==sf::Event::Closed)
           rw.Close();
           //close window//
            if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape))
            rw.Close();
            //Esc key//

       }
rw.Display();
    }

and yes i have drawn all the sprites to the window this is just where the problem is

What am i doing wrong?

Not calling rw.clear();, not drawing anything and not explaining enough/showing enough code of your problem. ;)

MainMenu::MainMenu(sf::RenderWindow & rw)
{
    sf::Image Main_Menu_Pic;
    Main_Menu_Pic.LoadFromFile("MasterSprites/MainMenu/MainMenu.png"); //this is the Main Menu
    sf::Sprite Main_Menu_Sprite(Main_Menu_Pic);
    int i=0;
    int n=0;

    bool running=true;

    Button button[3];
    //-------------------------------
    button[0].x=263;
    button[0].y=125;
    button[0].Set_Pic_Without_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/PGWithoutBorder.png");
    button[0].Set_Pic_With_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/pg Border.png");
    //play button init

    button[1].x=290;
    button[1].y=184;
    button[1].Set_Pic_Without_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/c WithoutBorder.png");
    button[1].Set_Pic_With_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/c Border.png");
    //Credits button init

    button[2].x=267;
    button[2].y=245;
    button[2].Set_Pic_Without_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/qg WithoutBorder.png");
    button[2].Set_Pic_With_Border("MasterSprites/MainMenu/qg Border.png");
    //quit game button init







    rw.Draw(Main_Menu_Sprite);
    rw.Draw(button[0].Button_Without_Border);
    rw.Draw(button[1].Button_Without_Border);
    rw.Draw(button[2].Button_Without_Border);

   //complete init now it is almost up without user interaction

sf::Event Event;

    while(rw.IsOpened())
    {
        while(rw.GetEvent(Event))
       {
           if(Event.Type==sf::Event::Closed)
           rw.Close();
           //close window//
            if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape))
            rw.Close();
            //Esc key//

       }
rw.Display();
    }








}

For this you now had to make 4 posts split in 2 topics?  >:(  :o

It's obvious what the problem is.
You only draw the sprites once. You have to put the draw calls with in the game loop, like in all the SFML examples you'll ever find. ;)
And you should call rw.clear() every iteration.
