Several years ago I created a SFML tutorial series that to this day is still proving quite popular. A fair bit has changed, both in the land of SFML, C++ and my ability to make tutorials. Therefore I've launched a new SFML focused tutorial series. Given that SFML is extremely popular among beginners and on this particular forum, I decided to share it here.
Unlike the previous tutorial, this one is both text and video based. Both text and video versions cover basically the same information, so simply pick the format that you are most comfortable with. This series is aimed at relative beginners, it assumes a certain knowledge of C++ but goes into enough detail that a C#, Java or C developer or of course a C++ beginner with a bit of language knowledge, should easily be able to follow along.
Right now the series consists of:
- A Closer Look at SFML (SFML Introduction and Overview) Text Version || Video Version
- Series Introduction/Overview (Quick 5 min overview of what series will cover) Video Version
- Configuring SFML with Visual Studio 2013 Text Version || Video Version
- Windows, Game Loops and Timers Text Version || Video Version
In time I will add a table of contents and update accordingly. This series is a priority for me, so expect frequent new posts over the next couple weeks. A new tutorial on keyboard input should be up very shortly.
As always feedback is certainly appreciated. If you are following along and I lost your somewhere, certainly let me know!
