Hello.
I just made my small gameengine in c++ with sfml, where i have made menus, butttons, gamestates and such.
There are a lot of different files, and some images.
So i how do i reuse it when i have to make a new game?
Should i just copy the header files,cpp files, image folders etc into my new project?
If so, that would be tedious like to link every project with sfml... 
Btw, I am using microsoft visual studio express 2010.
I bundle my "reusable game engine" into its own library, and then when I make a new game I just link to my game engine library (and any dependencies, like SFML or whatever).
The easiest way is to copy the files, but you can also compile it as library, add the headers to your compiler include paths and link your project with it.
Make a folder (With /lib/ and /include/) and link it!
However, you could have simply chose the "Library" option when creating your Game Engine's project in Visual Studio.
Cheers :)!
hi, i've catch the same problem before.
so if you want to reuse your code, write it independently. i mean, don't do any render, or use any class, library... like sfml. use basic data structure.
for example: if you want to render a character, create 'Character' class, hold infomation for position(int), name(string), class(string), etc. your class should not have any field like Sprite, Font, Model, or any class from sfml(or any library)
and, for each library you use, create a new class named 'CharacterRender' that render the 'Character' class above. and of course, it should have Sprite, Font, Model...
