The Scourge of the Win7 Seas

Posted by Astryl on Jan. 19, 2011, 1:31 a.m.

My dev-version of SDL hates Windows 7, 64 bit, (Ask PY), thus the title.

So I am experimenting with SFML (Yes, dammit, I'm trying it), to see if

it is more stable with Windows 7.

But for now, you may want to get the appropriate runtime libraries here if you want to try the demo :P

I do include my runtime SDL.dll, but for Windows 7/Vista I recommend getting the latest version.

Erm… OK. Screenshots:

And I'll throw this in for good measure:

And finally, Demo:

(Same as the one I was showing on IRC. It now runs in windowed mode though)

You need to overwrite the EXE in the first archive with the patched EXE, to fix some minor issues.

I have made some (buggy) progress with my implementation of AABB Collision (Vertical collision: 100% Fine, walking, not so fine)

And my mouse code now works well enough to point at a block and make it disappear with a click of the mouse button, but it still needs some sensitivity adjustments and a CFG file.

And on a side note, I now have 2 people following my Tumblr account. Lol.

sounds like a lot of work lol. as fun/frustrating as creating an engine might be, i don't think i would bother with such a thing… yet. i'm still a noob at programming anyway :P

but cool to see all of this stuff, not that i know what half of it is anyway. i'm still confused as to what the point of Minecraft++ is going to be? lol

SFML is a great library by my experience, I've had no problems so far on Win7 64bit, although I do statically link, mostly because it's convenient but also because the license isn't a bitch about it. Highly recommended over SDL.

Yeah, I'm loving SFML over SDL now XD Why did I bother with SDL in the first place?
