Actually both versions are valid switch statements. Oh really? I had no idea, never seen that before. { and } just indicate a block, which is pretty much any piece of code with its own scope. So his code is syntactically valid, except for the case STATE_TITLE: line, because that gets preprocessed t...

Yes, but using alpha colors will be slow as hell compared to colorkeying. Oh you musta been using SDL_HWSURFACE and other hw accelerated stuff... I forgot SDL had that ;) I think you two are talking about 2 different things. What K-Bal is doing is using PNG's that already have part of the image tra...

It sounds like there's a signed int in there somewhere.

You don't even need to have an SDL_Surface for the screen. All you have to do is when you initialize the screen, do "SDL_SetVideoMode(args);" then when you want access to the screen, you do "SDL_GetVideoSurface();"

I've had issues with VS2010 as well. I'd move back to 2008.

[quote="LeonBlade"] Also, I'm currently creating static functions for the lua scripts, example: lua_register(L, "CreateSprite", CreateSprite_Lua); int CreateSprite_Lua(lua_State *L) { // code goes here } Why don't you use toLua++? It should be able to handle anything you want.

I think you shouldn't free the buffer because it is managed by SDL and SDL might try to free the buffer after you've freed it, which would cause a segmentation fault. The segmentation fault that you're getting from freeing the surfaces means that you're trying to access those surfaces after they're ...

You free the surface when you don't need it anymore.

I found another tutorial. From what I've read so far, it seems to explain SAT pretty good. I was totally lost before reading this. Now I understand a bit more.

Why don't you just do this?

You should really learn to use google. So far, almost everything that you've asked about would be easily answerable using google. To answer your question, it fills in an SDL_Rect with the color that you tell it to. The first argument tells it where to fill in the rectangle. The second argument tells...

Compiler/IDE: MS VS 2008 Express (going to get 2010) Don't get 2010, stick with the solid 2008 version imo ;) I have 2010 pro, got it the other day from msdnaa and i really like it so far, theres some really nice features. Don't be put off getting it ;) Unless they fixed it, SFML doesn't like 2010....

What's inflexible about it? you have drop-in OpenGL any-time, I believe it's made upon OGL. You have access to shaders. You wouldn't be doing much more if you did it in 2D OGL. You can always use bass if you really need to instead of the audio, but from what I've seen its good enough. I've never lo...

Binary. Seriously though, I guess I meant "inflexible." I need to be more precise with my words.

Did you add "sfml-window-d.lib" to your linker?
