@AlexandreVaillancourt @JesseTG I went ahead and started a side chat room for leaving chromavaders feedback

Thank you very much, responding now

sf::Text.getString().c_str() returns garbage ><

@bruglesco Haven't use SFML in years, but I think you're returning a temporary object, getting its backing c_str, then throwing out the temporary object.

getString() returns a const sf::String&

which is probably the problem

There is no c_str() method, is there? I think you might be implicitly converting the returned const sf::String& to a std::string, then throwing out the c_str you get from that

yes. that's what it was.

I fixed it by explicitly converting it to a std::string and then calling .c_str()

all better now
