want to start 2D progamming

Get rid of every file in your project except for SFML3.cpp.
If it still doesn't work, do a print of your property page (like my second screenshot) showing the precompiled header settings.

oh my bad, didnt change to "Not using precompiled headers"

now i changed and these the errors i get:


1>SFML3.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl sf::Sleep(float)" (?Sleep@sf@@YAXM@Z) referenced in function _main

1>SFML3.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: float __thiscall sf::Clock::GetElapsedTime(void)const " (?GetElapsedTime@Clock@sf@@QBEMXZ) referenced in function _main

1>SFML3.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall sf::Clock::Clock(void)" (??0Clock@sf@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _main

You haven't linked the libraries for SFML.

Did you do the last step in the tutorial linked earlier: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/start-vc.php

Open your project's options, then go to the Linker / Input item. In the Additional dependencies row, add the SFML libraries you are using. Here we only use sfml-system.lib. For the Debug configuration, you can link with the debug versions of the libraries, which have the "-d" suffix (sfml-system-d.lib in this case).

compiled , but when i run:

" The system cannot execute the specified program. "

Don't let the "C" fool you in the name...

No J++ is Microsofts attempt at a java-like platform. C# is their attempt at appeasing C/C++ programmers who don't like various Java features (What do you mean no Structs?!?!?). I do quite like C# myself, but I agree Java would probably be more useful if you're going to 2d games, since the Mobile industry are always looking for more j2me programmers.

Did you read ALL of the tutorial?

Your program should now compile, link and run fine. If you linked against the dynamic versions of the SFML libraries, donc forget to copy the corresponding DLLs (sfml-system.dll in this case) to your executable's directory, or to a directory contained in the PATH environment variable.

If you are running into more problems, then please take it to their forums: http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/

The problem with "apeasing" C/C++ crowd comes with the very nature of C#.

Like java, it is interpreted (though JIT and compilation are options), high level garbage collected language.

Somehow I fail to see innovation C# is trying to provide. People sticking with C-family like to handle things by themselves. GC is not actually their cup of tea, neither are the other features that accompany these "modern" and "safe" languages.

Microsoft Windows compatibility is surely nice, but still...

SFML is working .

i just made a whole new project and did all your comments and it's worked great.

thank you very much yaustar for your help.

i checked SFML , seems nice but i cant get it compile on my Visual C++ 9.0 Express.
compile error about "forgot to include "stdafx.h" ? " and when i do i get more errors. :/

any other advices to 2d programming?


btw, my goal is something like casual games in BigFish and Reflexive.

Check out my final project http://smashbricks.blogspot.com/ it's a casual game.

PS It is 3d though.
