Hey everyone! I'm a college beginner and I've got a project to complete in C++. I'm trying to decide between using SFML or Qt to make my project stand out. Since I'm starting from scratch, I'm wondering which framework is generally easier or quicker to learn and use. Any advice? Thanks!

If your goal is to make a game, I'd definitely recommend going with SFML. It’s great for creating arcade-style games like Pong or Tetris. On the other hand, if you’re leaning towards a desktop application with lots of features like buttons and menus, then Qt is the way to go. Both frameworks have a similar learning curve, but SFML usually requires less initial investment in learning functions. So if you want something fun and straightforward, go for SFML!
It really depends on the requirements of your project. If it doesn’t specifically call for a GUI, I’d suggest sticking with a console application. After you submit it, you can always go back and add a GUI later if you want to experiment!
Thanks for the tip! The project allows for either a game or a GUI application, but I’m torn about which route to take.
Thanks!! That really helps me narrow it down.
