sf::Image lost

[Mr.123]

Hi I know that somewhere somehow my sf::Image is getting lost but I feel extremely stupid because I can't figure this out.

Here is my code
[cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
// Create the main rendering window
sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");

//Declaring Variables
sf::Shape P1 = sf::Shape::Rectangle(10, 300, 20, 400, sf::Color::Green);

sf::Image Image;
Image.LoadFromFile("ball.png");
sf::Sprite Ball;
Ball.SetImage(Image);

Ball.SetX(2.f);
Ball.SetY(2.f);
Ball.Scale(200.f,200.f);

// Start game loop
while (App.IsOpened())
{
int x = App.GetInput().GetMouseX();
int y = App.GetInput().GetMouseY();
// Process events
sf::Event Event;
while (App.GetEvent(Event))
{
float Elapsedtime = App.GetFrameTime();
// Close window : exit
if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
App.Close();
if (App.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::Q))
{
App.Close();

}
if (App.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::Up))
P1.Move(0,-3000*Elapsedtime);
if (App.GetInput().IsKeyDown(sf::Key::Down))
P1.Move(0,3000*Elapsedtime);

}

// Clear the screen (fill it with black color)
App.Clear();
App.Draw(Ball);
App.Draw(P1);

cout << x << "," << y << endl;

// Display window contents on screen
App.Display();
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

[/cpp]

What do you mean by 'getting lost'?

Code seems fine. The image isn't being loaded.

Make sure your working directory and output directories are set correctly.

[Mr.123]

Yeah my image is white. But I know the image is loading because i coded it to throw a error if the image did not load. I took it out after I knew it loaded fine.

Use .bmp

SOIL, the library SFML uses to load images as textures, supports PNG files just fine.

A white square means that the image has no been loaded properly. Add some error checking to ensure that your image is loading properly. sf::Image::LoadFromFile() should return a boolean, so if it returns false then we know the image did not load.

[Mr.123]

I checked to see if it was loading correctly with
[cpp]
if (!Image.LoadFromFile("ball.png"))
EXIT_FAILURE;
[/cpp]

And the program continued to run so I know it loaded

If I understand you correctly, you should be using return EXIT_FAILURE and not just EXIT_FAILURE.

What you are doing now is similar to if (false) 1;

Lol.

What above poster said.

[Mr.123]

Well that would be the problem then haha. Turns out the image was not loading but now it is. Thank you.
