Drawing Sprites, Input Based Movement, and Basic Gameplay - SFML C++ Tutorial - Episode 2

In this video, I start with a blank SFML project and, step-by-step, show you how to create a basic gameplay loop, where the player can run around and kill a zombie with his axe.

In order to do this, we'll learn about how to draw a sprite, how to handle player input, and use some vector math to do movement and collision detection.

In regards to the normalizing function, what is the purpose and rationale of the math behind square rooting the vectors?

I'm a beginner in coding and programming in SFML combined with C++. Are you finished with the video game that you are working on in this video? Or will there be more videos of this video game in the future?

Thank you, are you planning to make a game in the genre tower defense?

For those using SFML 3 the command for the keyboard will be sf::Keyboard::Key::W instead of sf::Keyboard::W kept getting an error

how much c++ knowledge is required before i start this playlist?

[rudrapatel]

I know its so basic, bit i didnt get that, why do we normalize? what happens if we normalize? and what if we don't?

Lol, I think the only reason why your sprite moved so fast at around 18:15 is because of how fast your computer is😂😂 Mine moved way slower than yours😂😂
