I am just starting in game development and I just want to try to make a basic platformer with SFML but I have no idea where to start. Most videos are super old and they don't help much. Also I have no idea how my game should run. Like should I go from Main > GameLoop > ScreenManager > (Any Scene) > Logic? LIke what I should do with it.

How much experience programming, in general, do you have? Is this the first thing you've ever tried to do? Can you write a simple Guess-the-Number text-based game in your language of choice? Et cetera.

I'm a beginner but I know the basics I think. I have that and Rock Paper Scissors and Tic Tac Toe in ASCII. Also I made an ASCII Rogue Lite with AI and loot and levels but it was a mess. Thats why I want to learn from the very beginning. And I want to make a platformer because it will show me a lot of basics with game development and allow me to learn based on trial and error but I can't even get my foot in the door

Okay. Have you made any sort of graphical game with SFML before then? Do you feel like you could make Tic Tac Toe graphically?

Ya probably. Should I start there?

EDIT: I have another question too. How do I delete stuff. In a tutorial I was following with Allegro5 awhile ago they used to unload content and would delete it with Allegro. Do I need to do this in SFML too?

Going off your library name drops, I am guessing C++? If so, things either pass out of scope or you delete anything *you* generated with the new keyword. SFML should take care of what it creates internally.

Sharpdx has great hello world examples in c# and in c++. Let me know if u need more direction.

My question is: why didn't you google some SFML tutorials and start there?
