So I've got this program that is supposed to imitate a console (with a little coding help from this user):
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
sf::Color fontColor;
sf::Font mainFont;
sf::Clock myClock;
bool showCursor = true;
void LoadFont() {
mainFont.loadFromFile("dos.ttf");
fontColor.r = 0;
fontColor.g = 203;
fontColor.b = 0;
}
int main() {
sf::RenderWindow wnd(sf::VideoMode(1366, 768), "SFML Console");
wnd.setSize(sf::Vector2u(1366, 768));
LoadFont();
sf::Text myTxt;
myTxt.setColor(fontColor);
myTxt.setString("System Module:");
myTxt.setFont(mainFont);
myTxt.setCharacterSize(18);
myTxt.setStyle(sf::Text::Regular);
myTxt.setPosition(0, 0);
while(wnd.isOpen()) {
sf::Event myEvent;
while (wnd.pollEvent(myEvent)) {
if (myEvent.type == sf::Event::Closed) {
wnd.close();
}
if (myEvent.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) {
if (myEvent.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape) {
wnd.close();
}
}
}
wnd.clear();
if (myClock.getElapsedTime() >= sf::milliseconds(500)) {
myClock.restart();
showCursor = !showCursor;
if(showCursor == true) {
myTxt.setString("System Module:_");
} else {
myTxt.setString("System Module:");
}
}
wnd.draw(myTxt);
wnd.display();
}
}
I need to be able to let the user type a key on the keyboard, and then render that key on the screen. I'm thinking about using an std::vector
of sf::Keyboard::Key
, and use a while loop to check what the key is (looping through the std::vector<sf::Keyboard::Key>
) without using a whole bunch of if
statements, but I don't exactly know how to handle that yet, so I'd like to know if there is an easier way to accomplish my main goal. Suggestions? Comments?
Thank you for your time, ~Mike
