I find it quite manageable to work with OpenGL in SFML 2.0.
It's all opengl under the hood so I see no problem with it.
I've been making a dungeon generator a little more interesting and added collectible stardust: (warning 1.5 MB gif)

Basically, the stuff randomly spawns in the dungeon, but you can also get it from destroyed enemies/asteroids/whatever else I'm planning to add. White stardust gives you 5 points, yellow gives 10, orange gives 20 and red gives 50.
I'm planning on making a showcase thread soon. (DONE: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1108925-Space-Hazard[/url])

You should add a stardust that takes away points too, maybe colour it gray
Yeah, unavoidable things that hurt your score isn't frustrating at all.

I'd still collect it, can't stand leaving stuff on screen.
I'm the kinda guy who destroys every box and exploding barrel if he can help it.

There's no problem with using OpenGL with SFML itself, but SFML commands could change all kinds of states and it would get a mess.

If I recall correctly there's an SFML function which saves the current OpenGL state, then you can make some SFML calls and reload the state afterwards.

But that's slow, because it resets every single state.
I need to redo the rank storing for campaign levels, at the moment it's just a list of numbers in the achievement file (you can score bronze/silver/gold/blue depending on difficulty) which is silly and doesn't work properly if levels are added/moved around.
I'm thinking one of these:
[b]1.[/b] Store each levels score in its own level file
[b]2.[/b] Store the scores in a single file which holds the hashes of levels and the corresponding scores (so if a level changes its score is reset)
[b]3.[/b] Ok never mind number 2 sounds good. Unless anyone has other suggestions

I lost the cable for my camera, else I'd make a photo of mine too.
Anyone know of a good memory leak detector that works with MinGW.

WAYWO: Pictures of your OpenGL Superbible edition
How are you guys liking the OpenGL SuperBible?
I've been looking at the speeds of XNA vs. SlimDX vs. SharpDX vs. Native C++, and XNA is 9 times slower than native C++. Because of this (and several other reasons about XNA) I've been considering switching to C++ which of course leads to "DirectX or OpenGL". Doing research on both of these has lead to some interesting discoveries (Like iD Tech 5 is running OpenGL).
I'm thinking of learning OpenGL when open.gl finishes and spending my time researching porting over my existing content in the mean time.

If your going from XNA to pure openGL your going to have a big shock.
It will be worth it in the end but just saying
I don't have one, I'm waiting for open.gl in just below 10 days, 5 hours and 10 mins

I see you have a Caanoo. Have you tried making some homebrew for it? I orderded one a week ago, still waiting it to ship.

If porting a LÖVE game to nLÖVE counts, then yes.

How so, the fact OpenGL doesn't give me nice functions like GraphicsDevice.DrawString(...) and GraphicsDevice.DrawUserINdexPrimitives, etc?

OpenGL is on completely different level. C++ and OpenGL is just a dirty mess of million functions and structs on the same namespace. There is not a single class.

How's DirectX compared to that? :v:

It would only be true if SFML wasn't actually designed to work around OGL. Also SFML is a very simple library so it can't really become unmanageable.

I like those post-it notes. I'll do the same thing.

If you've used some of the previous versions of SFML you could have had some of those problems, but I don't know any of those, I started using OpenGL with SFML2.0 and it has these pretty handy functions.

void SaveGLStates ()
Save the current OpenGL render states and matrices.
void RestoreGLStates ()
Restore the previously saved OpenGL render states and matrices.

DirectX is on a completely different level, too.
You should be comparing Direct3D to OpenGL, not DirectX
How many people here actually have dualscreen?
I could if I had a vga to hdmi converter or something...
Now since I can't really show what I'm working on right now (boring LOD stuff) I'll just show you a very old release of my engine. It's the version 8 (it's now v16) and I rewritten the entire thing on each update so it changed a lot. It was back when I was working only with OpenGL and Bullet. (YouTube made much darker than it actually is, it also broke the AA)
