2 the Point

[Stoo]

Hello again.

I`ve installed codeblocks and SFML to the best of my ability and I still would like to be able to plot a simple pixel or point to a screen/bitmap using x/y co-ordinates, and maybe read an x/y co-ord as well.

I guess this should be really simple but am still having difficulty.

Getting the settings right in CBlocks seems to be a matter of luck and randomness with Linker Settings and Search Directories being set one way when creating code and then failing to work when reloading the saved code or even the next time it`s compiled.

I would love to see a piece of code from start to finish that JUST opens up a window/screen and plots a single point to it, with the necessary settings commented so that I can at least have a definite place to start.

HELP ME SOMEBODY, please???

In hope, Stoo

So you haven't gotten it even running... I'm guessing there are some folders in windows for code blocks... ones called header the other (i forgot)
i want to say src or link or somthing. I don't use windows but it shouldn't be that hard. Have you googled code::blocks with sfml tutorial installation. (that should work even know a few words are out of order)

VC is pretty nice software. The tutorials are more than enough to get you started on sfml @ sfml-dev.org

The forums is nice for asking SFML questions too

Have got simple windows open, even run sample code but the simpest I`ve so far found is a multicoloured rotating cube and one saved won`t run upon reloading.
There are just too many variables (not literally) for me to easily work out what`s wrong which is why I`d like to find a basic point plot so that I can see what is going on first before attempting more complex things.

Still would love a sample of this. Just a window with a point plotted on it.


Isn`t there someone out there who can do this for me???

I would be eternally grateful. Hopefully, Stoo :-)
