SFML 2.4.2 VideoMode error

Question

I decided to try with SFML again but here is when a new update comes and you don't know what to do. I managed to find how to setup my SFML but here the error is when i start the program

sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(width, height, 32), "Example");

and here is a photo of the error and the code

I tried fixing it but still noting, i watched tutorials pictures of the code examples but noting happened again. i hope you can help me with this problem.

after compiling it i got this many errors

and its really big, but when i saw it i touch maybe its because my project is on release not debug? i will try but for now that's the error.

[FINAL GOOD EDIT] everything is just fine maybe i have deleted something in the properties window but i made new project and everything is just fine

Answer 1

Do the following: the compiler complains about the types of the arguments passed to videoMode, as it identifies them as integers, it basically fails to construct a Vector2u, if you create a Vector2u with '{}' preventing narrowing it will work., note that the third argument passed to the VideoMode is optional, in this case I skipped it.

sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode({200,200}), "SFML works!");
sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);

As a side note you may want to check the slash in the includes I think it should be:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

not

#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

and also use C++17 or newer, as otherwise some things will fail, in my case I was using VS2022 and the default version is C++14. So optional was not part of the standard.

Answer 2

Try to remove depth in VideoMode

sf::VideoMode(size,size)
