Mouse position with screen scrolling in SFML

Question

Im trying to create a block placement with snap to grid. Everything is working, and in my head this should update the position of the mouse relative to the window each frame

Answer 1

You need to call window.mapPixelToCoords() to transform your pixel position to the coordinate system of your view.

sf::Vector2i pixel_pos = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window.mywindow);
sf::Vector2f coord_pos = window.mywindow.mapPixelToCoords(pixel_pos);

And as a general advice: Don't use public class members - mywindow and playerSprite should not be accessible from the outside.
