Projects Updates on the Nightly Builds My SFML Nightly Builds were quite a few commits behind last week, mainly because I wanted to keep the matching SFML version for Thor and thought I could get the automated building system to work with Thor. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to do so in time and thus I […]

SFML News – Week 11 (2013)
Although I probably shouldn’t start again with something new and rather try to get more of those computer science articles ready, I still had this funny idea of releasing ‘news’ articles on what has been happening in the SFML community. I’ll try to release weekly articles, but I don’t promise anything and I don’t even […]
Personal SFML Website Updated
A bit late, but better late than never: Happy New Year to everyone! So the past few days I’ve been working on a new front- and back-end for my small personal website, targeted towards anything related to SFML. Active SFML developers and/or SFML forum readers might already know that I’ve been providing SFML Nightly Builds […]
SFMLUploads.org – Relaunch
So I’ve taken ownership of the project SFMLUploads.org which is basically a file and image hoster made specially for developers who are using the SFMLibrary. Below you’ll find the announcement text I wrote for the official SFML forum. After quite a few ups and even more downs SFMLUploads is finally back online! SFMLUploads.org was originally […]
A SmallGameEngine or State Machine
From a question ask in the official SFML forum which linked to a tutorial by Anthony Lewis at GameDevGeek.com I took the challenge up on me and converted that small game engine or maybe it would be better just called a state machine from SDL to SFML. In the near future I also hope to […]
Using sf::View
I’ve been using SFML now for more than a year but I never really understood how sf::View really works, until now. So I feel like sharing this enlightenment and I’ll also create a tutorial in the wiki section on GitHub. What can a sf::View do? This question is not that complicated to answer and I […]
Tutorial: How To Change Your Cursor?
I’ve just published my first tutorial with SFML, okay it’s actually not fully my tutorial since I’ve partially rewritten one from the old section, but expanded it with in my opinion a better solution.Although you can find the tutorial on the wiki site of SFML, I post it here again. How to change your cursor? […]
TileMapCreator – Update 01
As promised here comes a small update on the TileMapCreator; screenshot first: So this must seem disappointing, nothing really changed, except maybe the gray square on the grid. But then again I’ll have to remind you that TMC is far from being useable and the biggest changes will happen in the codebase which then again […]
TileMapCreator – A GUI Tool
Whenever you’re thinking about creating a tile based game you end up with some hackish format for loading tiles. There’s no good way to edit the format and if you forget which number represents which image you’re lost. Although I’ve never really come close to a functioning tile based game, I often failed at the […]
