[SFML] Boy's Head Detached, Orbiting in Example

NoobsArePeople2

Hi! I'm evaluating Spine for use in an SFML project. I've got eveything set up and running but there's a problem with the Boy's animation: his body doesn't move at all. Instead his head orbits his body, doing two orbits before reattaching to his neck. Then the process repeats. Here's a snapshot:

As near as I can tell the Goblin animation is looking good.

I'm using MinGW with GCC 4.8.1 on Windows 8 x64. Using CodeBlocks as my IDE.

Anyone have any thoughts on what's up with the Boy animation? I'm planning to dig into the source a bit more but I'm hoping someone will see this and know, "oh, you need to do ____ to fix that".

Are there reference videos for what the animations should look like? It'd be really great if there was something like that on the site so people could compare the actual runtime with a video of the expected output.

It's a test animation to show draw order. The spineboy skeleton will be updated when meshes are added.

Yeah, I looked into the code a bit more and found the "drawOrder" animation. On line 95 of the example there is an if-else that controls which animations are played for the body. Since the if block always evaluates "true" the app only plays the "drawOrder" animation. Everything looks like it's working great now.

I get that "drawOrder" is demoing a specific feature but it definitely came across as broken when it's the first thing I saw and no context was given. Perhaps some instructions in the README explaining how to toggle the animations in the code? Even better would be a label showing the currently playing animation and a prompt ("press space to cycle through animations", or similar) to manually change the animations. Of course the latter is more work. Do you accept pull requests on the runtimes repo? I'd be happy to help improve the SFML demo a bit.

If you are uncertain about an animation you can always open the Spine projects and check which animations are there 🙂
We accept pull requests, code is reviewed of course but if it is good stuff Nate usually puts it in.

Pull requests are welcome. 🙂 However, I wouldn't want the example to get too much more complicated. It is meant as a simple example of using a Spine skeleton, not really a general purpose demo. We could have multiple examples though.
