3 images of bounce using SFML

Ok so after some experimenting with SFML i managed to display a small white square (pixel?) that bounces around the screen.

I'm trying to make a program that displays an png image in place of the square and there are three of these images on the screen that start at the center and bounces around the screen (just at the window borders not at each other yet) but I can't even seem to make at least one because this error keeps popping up.

1>c:\users\toshiba\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\plate4\plate4\main.cpp(160): error C3861: 'processEvents': identifier not found

I've checked the other cpp files and it appears that "Main.cpp" is the only one that has this error. Is this a Header file error? If so How do I fix it? Also how do I make 2 more instances of the square and to map textures to them?

My compiler can see 'processEvents' ._.
But I haven't tried to compile it because I don't have the SFML 1.6 libraries =/

My compiler can see it too.
But looking at the main.cpp file there is a major problem that might mess up your compilation process:

The entire source code form main.cpp seems to be in there twice! There are two processEvent functions, two main functions, two rounds of include statements

o.0

Then there is the getName() function inside BouncingTile missing. Thats why the RenderWindow creation in main() doesn't compile.

Lastly the compiler will complain about class redifinition of Game. That's because you're not using include guards.
Include guards protect your code from being "accidently included more than once" into your code.
You should put those guards into ALL .h files.
There are two ways to write that:

Code:
#pragma once

<all your code>

or

Code:
#ifndef NAME_OF_THIS_CLASS
#define NAME_OF_THIS_CLASS

<all your code>

#endif

If you do those two things and remove the dublicate things in main.cpp then it compiles well.

Is the getName() function missing in the cpp or .h file? Or are they needed in both?

Generally you declare the function in the .h file:

Code:
    public std::string getName();

And define it in the .cpp file:


Code:
    public std::string getName(){
         return "whatever you want to return";
    }

Huh. Guess the problem was it was trying to load 2 different images in bouncing tile.cpp and TextureMap.cpp I just changed it so both cpp files load "1img".png and it works.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
