I've finally delved into SFML and WOW! is it easy to use. Plus the documentation is pretty easy to read and understand.

Yeh, huge wins on simplicity and documentation. Look up sfgui as well, great project it seems.

Sfml could be a good gateway drug into learning glsl and some of the basics of opengl rendering as well. The network module also looks good; I'm thinking of using it if/when I do something on netcode.

Yeah, I'm currently working with someone on a MUD client/server and I decided to use SFML. I'm liking the experience.

Not him, but most likely linking #includes and library files.

And by the way, if you have time can you tell me how you implimented your background music playing without blocking out every single other sounds? That's where I'm at :lol:

idk what you mean I just use the play function and it never blocked out any other sounds :P just make sure the play function just gets called once else it's a bad time

I am not using VS2017 with SFML, I just did what chili showed in his SFML video in VS2015. He plans on doing a SFML for VS2017 video, but I don't know when it will be out.

You could always just like, install the platform tools for v140 alongside v141. That should let you do that and it'll be only like, a couple of gigs max right.
