ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! SFML had a depth-buffer, then removed it because Laurent Gomila thought that a 2D library didn't need it.
Except, you DO need it. Sometimes you need to dynamically change the orders in which sprites are drawn, especially for 2.5D games just like what this linked article is talking about.
The article below talks about a solution using OpenGL and a derivative of SFML's vertex arrays, but that seems way too complex for something that should be dead simple. This is part of the reason why SFML will never be on the same level as SDL. I only use it because I have this weird urge to be different....to my own detriment.

Bluesky is even more toxic than Twitter. Within the first week, I've had to block or have been blocked by 5+ people because of a minor political disagreement.
Don't shamelessly worship Kamala? You're a Nazi and you want women to be genocide victims, nevermind that Kamala can barely even read, orange man bad
Tons of made-up sob stories too where if you even just ask an honest question you get accused of sexual harassment or transphobia.
I've remained pretty reasonable with people and I constantly have been insulted for no reason by folks who just want to feel better than everyone else.
Also noticeably lacking important features and the mobile client is still poorly glued together. Just don't bother with it guys.
Yea, I'm no fan of Putin, BUT I call bullshit on Linus's explanation and stance. This is hypocrisy at its best too. There have been talks of sanctions, but no sanctions to the best of my knowledge in the software development category have actually gone through in the United States that would force free software developers to exclude Russians. Claiming all folks who think you're wrong Russian trolls is just intellectually dishonest. While I am critical of socialism, I'll defend RMS when he's right, and when Linus is wrong I'm going to say it. RMS was right when he crafted the GNU GPL in such a way that it EXCLUDED politics outside of free software development. This has been the reason "open source" folks, "free software" folks, serial killers (governments), and activists of all kinds have all been able to work together to benefit mankind. To now come in and say "what did you expect", in response to excluding Russians I say, I expected you to object to Putin's invasion of another country- but not to undermine the very foundations of FOSS software development. No one is saying you should accept every patch from every Russian developer, but you should have a technical reason for doing so. It doesn't even take a genius to come up with a technical explanation for removing Russian developers en mass, but some silly hypocritical act like this is below pathetic. What's next, inserting backdoors because you want to help Ukraine spy on some subset of Linux users?
To anyone who has out-of-body-experiences regularly, can you please astral project to the alleged moon landing sites? It's time to know once and for all if the moon landings actually happened.

Can we have the year of the Haiku desktop instead of the year of the Linux desktop? Let's have an actual desktop operating system instead of a mainframe/server operating system pretending to be one. Also let's have an open source operating system where (mostly) everything is developed in-house instead of a bunch of components duct-taped by distro maintainers.
