Hi,

I'm trying to follow this tutorial to get some more inside in how a game engine works.
But I'm getting this error: Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SFML\Graphics.cpp': No such file or directory

I've done the right steps in the Linker though.

Does anybody know what I may have done wrong?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: changed .cpp to .hpp but it still isn't resolved.

It's just 'SFML\Graphics.h'

Wait, no it's .hpp Sorry, it's been a while

I was wondering why there is not the sfml audio libraries in this tutorial, I mean just being able to have graphics for me is great but wouldn't sound along side graphics be better?

[Delacar]

I'm just curious as to way you use dynamic libraries and not static ones? Also I have been trying for the past 2 months to get sfml to work and have finally found a tutorial that got sfml to work for me, but in the tutorial they use a static library. So I was wondering if dynamic libraries could be switched with static libraries and still get the desired results? Please respond back promptly if at all possible. Thank you for your time, and have wonderful Holidays.

Alright, i have the overhead error corrected. However, I'm faced with a new problem. And thats this.

This is the code.

Engine.h

#ifndef _ENGINE_H
#define _ENGINE_H
#include<SFML\Graphics.hpp>

class Engine
{
private:
//SFML Render Window
sf::RenderWindow* window;
//Initializes the engine
bool Init();
//Main Game Loop
void MainLoop();
//Renders One Frame
void RenderFrame();
//Processes user input
void ProcessInput();
//Updates all Engine internals
void Update();

	public:
	Engine();
	~Engine();

	void go();
	};
	#endif

Engine.cpp

//Dead man walking 2D game engine 
//Prototype 1 "0.0.0.1"
#include "Engine.h"
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

Engine::Engine()
{

	}

Engine::~Engine()
{

	}

bool Engine::Init()
{

	window = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "RPG");
	if(!window)
		return false;
			return true;
}

void Engine::RenderFrame()
{

	}

void Engine::ProcessInput()
{
	sf::Event evt;
		//loop through all window events
		while(window->GetEvent(evt))
{
	if(evt.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
		window->Close();
	}
}

void Engine::Update()
{

	}

void Engine::MainLoop()
{
	//Loop untill our window is closed
		while(window->IsOpened())
{
	ProcessInput();
		Update();
		RenderFrame();
	}
}

void Engine::go()
{
	if(!Init())
		throw "Hey buddy, somethings wrong with me. Fix it!\n";
		MainLoop();
}

Main.cpp

#include <Windows.h>
#include "Engine.h"

	int WINAPI wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR 
	pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
	{
		Engine* engine = new Engine();
		
		try
			{
			engine->go();
				}
				catch(char* e)
			{
			MessageBoxA(NULL, e, "Exception Occured", MB_OK | MB_IConerror);
		}
	}

So now im left with the question, what am i doing wrong now?

[AliceLiddell]

This is a really great tutorial I was recommended by a fellow game designer.

there are a couple typos in your code though, and if I hadn't known C++ so well I would've given up.

Firstly, you never declare a variable with a capitol letter, ever.

Engine.cpp fixed

#include "Engine.h"
#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

Engine::Engine()
{

}

Engine::~Engine()
{

}

bool Engine::Init()
{
	window = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "RPG");

	if(!window)
		return false;

	return true;
}

void Engine::RenderFrame()
{

}

void Engine::ProcessInput()
{
	sf::Event evt;
	//Loop through all window events
	while(window->pollEvent(evt))
	{
		if(evt.type == sf::Event::Closed)
			window->close();
	}
}

void Engine::Update()
{

}

void Engine::MainLoop()
{
	//Loop until our window is closed
	while(window->isOpen())
	{
		ProcessInput();
		Update();
		RenderFrame();
	}
}

void Engine::Go()
{
	if(!Init())
		throw "Could not initialize Engine";

	MainLoop();
}

Engine.h didn't need any changes but

Main.cpp corrected

#include <Windows.h>

#include "Engine.h"

int WINAPI wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	Engine* engine = new Engine();

	try
	{
		engine->Go();
	}
	catch(char* e)
	{
		MessageBoxA(NULL, e, "Exception Occured", MB_OK | MB_IConerror);
	}
}

MessageBoxA had the wrong parameters, you have to change the last parameter to "MB_IConerror" the first part of the lesson wont compile unless you change those two files. You surely out did yourself making this but just remember a lot of beginner programmers want to read your tutorial, and I recall a few times never being able to get this tutorial to work a while back, its just one of those errors you should correct, and go look over everything else after.
