A First SFML 2.0 Project in Visual Studio [dpctd]

[chechoxque]

amazing tutorial, i'm looking forward for more.

great job!

[Fuzzyanimol]

Thanks man, your videos are really helpful.

[Selenus]

Thank you so much for your videos -- I had such trouble finding a good tutorial for getting started with SFML, and you have come through brilliantly! <3

i put the dll´s in the debug folder of my project. now it works.

[SFMLCoder]

@kaleight1 Great. I'm pretty sure it should also work to put them in the main project directory, provided you are running the program from within the IDE.

[kaleight1]

@SFMLCoder yes that works too

[SFMLCoder]

@kaleight1 Good. Is that not what the video says? If not, I'd better add a note in the video information section, at least until I have to chance to update the video itself.

[kaleight1]

i get this error if i debug the program: The program can not be started because sfml-graphics-2.dll missing on the computer.

Um,

while (Window.PollEvent(Event))

PollEvent returns an error because it is not a member of sf::WindowRender.

Did I do something wrong, or is something I'm using slightly outdated? Or is this sort of thing covered in a later tutorial? Haha, Noobish SFML user is noobish,

Other than that, great video. I've been unable to get SFML and such to work, and this has done it, so thanks again. Other than the code issue, it went very smoothly.

[SFMLCoder]

@Korban3 Try Window.GetEvent. However, this probably means you are using SFML 1.6. Even though SFML 2.0 is still in development, I strongly recommend it. You have to build it from the source yourself, but I have video tutorials for it. If you can't find them, I can give you the links.

[Korban3]

@SFMLCoder Huh, I got it from the SFML 2.0 Snapshot on the website. I followed the build tutorial and that went smoothly. I'll redownload the 2.0 source and build it again.

[SFMLCoder]

@Korban3 that's strange. give it a day or so then redownload the source - it's possible there's a bug in the latest SFML source which will soon be fixed. if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll look into it :)

[Korban3]

@SFMLCoder Alright, thanks. I'll just start with 1.6 and try to work through the differences, if I can.

[Korban3]

@SFMLCoder Got it working. I added opengl32.lib and glu32.lib to the additional dependencies, and fixed a Directory typo, and PollEvent started working. It is compiling and working. My error there, but it's golden now. Or rather the window is cyan. Har har har.

[SFMLCoder]

@Korban3 just to be clear, I recommend AGAINST using SFML 1.6. Use 2.0. PollEvent should work in 2.0. Perhaps I just misunderstood your message...

[Korban3]

@SFMLCoder Yes, it's 2.0. For some reason, VC++ didn't recognize PollEvent until I added the two extra dependencies, and fixed the include typo. I'm gonna hop on over to the tutorials set now. Thank you much for the videos, 'cause the rock!

amazing, loved it! very detailed and easy to understand. Thanks again

[visualprogrammer]

well i've done exactly everything what u have done but i get this error: This application was unable to start correctly 0x0c150002 Click ok to close the program

[SFMLCoder]

@visualprogrammer have you built the SFML 2.0 binaries as explained in my other video "Building SFML 2.0 with NMake" /watch?v=PtSDrLpV74M

[Gills3339]

Very very helpful you are a great teacher

[Sloshylucas]

You sir, are truly epic! I've been having so many troubles with this until I stumbled on your videos. thanks a lot, and please continue to make more!

error LNK2001 it's annoying

[SFMLCoder]

@mikze123 i'm happy to help you with this, but could you be more specific about the error? as well as an error code, there should be an error message telling you which symbol or symbols is/are undefined.

[mikze123]

@SFMLCoder

I gonna write about problem tomorrow (today ;p its after 00:00).

[miguelitochamoy0902]
