Author Topic: Does SFML support texture-filled polygons? ...and collision? (Read 3506 times)

Two quick questions...

1) Does SFML support the creation of texture-filled polygons (or other shapes)? If not, how would I go about doing this?

2) Does SFML support collision detection in any way? If not are there any libraries available to handle this? (for .NET)

Thanks!

1) No, not directly. You can archieve this by directly using OpenGL together with SFML for setting the texture.
2) No, it doesn't. I'm sure there're libraries, but since I never needed one, I can't tell you any names.

Box2D is a 2D physics library. I never tried it, but it seems to be very popular.

Thanks for the quick replies!

What about adding support for the SPARK (or other) particle engine with the .NET bindings? I only mention SPARK because it directly integrates with SFML but only with the C++ side.

You should rather ask its author
