Lightning Talk: Modernizing SFML in Cpp
summary
Upgrades a 15‑year C++03 SFML codebase to C++03→C++17 showing concrete changes: replaces custom threading primitives with std::thread/std::mutex, swaps ad‑hoc path handling for std::filesystem, converts out‑params/boolean results to returns of std::optional, adopts array/chrono/attributes/no_discard and moves toward move semantics. Notes where work remains: C bindings that other language bindings rely on, rendering unit tests are hard, and a cross‑platform material viewer demo actually runs.
