C++ Drawing to the screen
SFML
This method will require you to install some packages. In Visual Studio, and Project, select 'Manage Nuget Packages'.
Click the browse tab and type:
'sfml'
Now look for the version numbers, each version has a slightly different name. I have found:
SFML has 5 different components, so click each one and click install.
Creating A Window
The code below will create a window, and also provides a loop to keep the window open and to check for window events:
<syntaxhighlight lang=c++>
- include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main() { sf::RenderWindow window{{ 800, 800 }, "Window Title"}; window.setFramerateLimit(60);
while (window.isOpen()) { sf::Event event; while (window.pollEvent(event)) { if (event.type == sf:: Event::Closed) { window.close(); } } window.clear(); window.display(); } }
