}cin >> mystring.How do you use STD::string? I always thought it was
Int numbah=31;
STD::string mystring
Mystring << "N=" << numbah;
But it's giving errors. And how do you display values in SDl? I can't figure out how to convert int to char*...
Code: Select all
#include "SDL.h" // just change this to your SDL directory location, I just made this one up
#include "SDL_ttf.h"
SDL_Surface* Screen = NULL;
SDL_Surface* TextSurface = NULL;
SDL_Color Black = {0,0,0};
TTF_Font* Arial = NULL
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
// set up screen, plus other startup crap in your program
Arial = TTF_OpenFont("Arial.ttf", 16); // load from ttf file, and choose size
TextSurface = TTF_RenderText_Solid(Arial, "This is Arial", Black) // use the chosen font for selected text
while(!Quit)
}
Apply_Surface(10,10,TextSurface, Screen); // draw text to screen
SDL_Flip(Screen);
}
return 0;
}

If you mean, how do I output text to the screen in an SDL Window, you use the SDL_ttf library.
this is done by firstly declaring a TTF_Font*, calling TTF_OpenFont("fontanme.txt", int Pointsize) and then getting a surface and calling TTF_RenderText_Solid(TTF_Font*, char* Text, SDL_Color Colour)
The SDL DocWiki goes into much detail about the SDL_ttf library : http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_ttfCode: Select all
#include "SDL.h" // just change this to your SDL directory location, I just made this one up #include "SDL_ttf.h" SDL_Surface* Screen = NULL; SDL_Surface* TextSurface = NULL; SDL_Color Black = {0,0,0}; TTF_Font* Arial = NULL int main(int argc, char** argv) { // set up screen, plus other startup crap in your program Arial = TTF_OpenFont("Arial.ttf", 16); // load from ttf file, and choose size TextSurface = TTF_RenderText_Solid(Arial, "This is Arial", Black) // use the chosen font for selected text while(!Quit) } Apply_Surface(10,10,TextSurface, Screen); // draw text to screen SDL_Flip(Screen); } return 0; }
and if you have any trouble with passing those C++ strings, you can just add .c_str() to the end of your string, to pass it like it was a char*
Hope this was of some help :D

}I don't wanna make a whole new string and a new header... Then there'd be the problem of concertng that back to a STD::string and them to a c_str()Scoody wrote:As for your first question, you'd be doing something like thisCode: Select all

I've used cout and cin with an SDL application. Dunno what you're talking about.programmerinprogress wrote:Seriously, try cout << or cin in an SDL Application, after you initialise SDL, the console ceases to function, instead, you have to send your output text to either cerr, clog, or any other file where you store your data.avansc wrote: ummm. i dont know how they would disable the console. the onsole is still available, its just a compiler option.
The console itself is a compiler option (which you can choose to hide or make appear), but control over the console is locked in SDL
