Starting coding the main game loop
As you can see, the last part of the previous code is the game loop, while (window.isOpen()){}
. It is this that we turn our attention to now. Specifically, we will be coding the input-handling section of the game loop.
The next code that we will add is quite long. There is nothing complicated about it, and we will examine it all in a minute.
Add the highlighted code only, which is shown in the following code, into the main game loop:
