SFML C++

[thapchi]

I am trying to learn SFML from the sites tutorial

I am using visual c++ 2008 I downloaded SFML headers library included them them in vc++ as they told in tutorial and also tried the clock.get time program worked perfectly

But when i tried to Do any other program the window just comes on screen and goes like it flashed

And If i download their file of the program same thing happens no error while debugging or anything but it just flashes and goes off

Their file also includes the user input thing but still screen doesn't wait for it

Are you sure you added all additional linker dependencies, dlls? Also, post your code.

*this is much more suited for the SFML forums.

You added the event loop and event handling code for the window example, right? Could you paste a link to the part of the tutorial in question?

[thapchi]

Try any of this in u r vc++

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/window-window.php

It also includes The well created file by them

I Took there code

See here

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

And

got this error

Creating window.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall sf::Window::~Window(void)" (??1Window@sf@@UAE@XZ) referenced in function _main

It looks like you didn't link with the libraries. If I recall correctly, there are more than one and they should be linked with in order. The tutorial should say this somewhere near the beginning.

You did this, right?

[thapchi]

Yes I did all the steps

Now there is no flashing window any more for first two programs

these two
# Using threads and mutexes
# Generating random numbers

But when I go for this

Window package

* Opening a window

It gives me error again
same error i posted above

and same source code

[thapchi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ONE LINE I SEARCHED EVERY WHERE

It looks like you didn't link with the libraries there are more than one and they should be linked with in order

AND THEN I FOUND THAT I AM NOT LINKING THE WINDOW FILE

OH MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH

one more and last question

Am I able to program a snake game or even simpler game with knowledge of c++ and SFML?

Thank you

[cnoeval]

Am I able to program a snake game or even simpler game with knowledge of c++ and SFML?

Is it possible? Sure.

Are you able? Only you can answer that.

[thapchi]

Thank you everybody I will try to learn in and create some simple game also try to buid a snake game.

If I get stuck I will open a new topic.
