Just a note for those who are interested.
I've updated the chopper patrol port to sfml,
and reposted it at:
http://www.thesiegelsnest.us/mac/chopper_patrol_sfml.zip
I added panning (for the jet, though the sound probably needs replaced since
the default one doesn't pan well)

Hi Travis,
Cool. I'd be interested to know what you find out on the SFML dev
forums. SFML is a pretty decent API all things considered as it wraps
OpenGL, OpenAL, and some other Mac and Linux higher end gaming
libraries, but the way in which it was done I think certainly could be
improved upon. So
Hi Travis,
Thanks. I'll give it a try. If given a choice I'd rather use SFML over
SDL for OpenAL support alone. However, I've been playing with the
latest SFML build for Linux here and the keyboard input is much better
than SDL. The event handling for keyboard events is much more like

Hello folks.
I've taken the chopper patrol game from bscgames
and ported it to C++.
It uses the sfml libraries, and since they exist for linux, mac osx, and
windows, I think
this probably qualifies as the first truly cross-platform accessible game for

do you have this as windows to or can you make it such?

Hi there,
As a Linux user, I can confirm that this game compiles with minimal
changes to the source code. It appears to run properly.
One thing to note is that the names used for header files are
case-sensitive under Linux, so they required tweaking. Other than that,
it seems to run as
Hi Travis,
I've just downloaded and read your C++ port of Chopper Patrol, and I'm
left with some questions. Unfortunately, like alot of other sample
SFML games I've seen everything is all wrapped up in the main
function, and all of the sounds in this case are static. That is you
never have to
While I can't find anything in sfml that allows actual buffer destruction, you
can reassign buffers. I just tried this, and it worked perfectly.
if (!buffer1.LoadFromFile(sound/background.wav))
printf(error is: %d\n,EXIT_SUCCESS);
sf::Sound Background(buffer1);

using the sf::Sound::SetBuffer() function to reassign buffers. As you

If you wouldn't mind I'd be happy to create a Chopper Patrol clone
written in C++ using SDL rather than SFML. As SDL is cross-platform
too I think it would demonstrate both our aims but give potential
cross-platform developers another option or
