SFML 3 sf::Event event; error uninitialized local variable

I am getting my feet wet with C++ and SFML and have literally been pulling my hair out just trying to get the library to even connect to VS.

Now I am following a VERYYYY basic tutorial of just creating a window.

When i get to the part of creating

> sf::Event event;

I get the error that the local variable isn't initialized.

I searched online but nothing come sup for this specific issue.

I tried to see if there is update to documentation but i cant find any.

Anyone have any idea?

enter image description here

UPDATE:

This is the new fix for SFML 3 sf::Event

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

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

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        while (const std::optional event = window.pollEvent())
        {
            if (event->is<sf::Event::Closed>())
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }
}

Follow the steps here very deliberately.

Remember some directories will need to be added to ALL, while some are just for release/ debug.

Do not forget to copy your .dll files and put them where your executable can use them.
