What is SFML

A C++ Library _ Basically a Object Orientated version of SDL.

What can we do with it

OpenGL, Gamepad, Mouse, Keyboard, Microphone, etc...

What need in QB64 for programming with SFML.

SFML Package for QB64 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8822351/SFML.rar
An audio wrapper for SFML : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8822351/SFML_Audio.zip
An OpenGL wrapper for SFML : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8822351/GL_Wrapper.rar

What is the purpose of the .h file

To use SFML you have to use a external C++ library and then use DECLARE LIBRARY in QB64 to use the functions you create. The .h file is the file that contains the C++ code.

How to program them  

Tell me what you want to code and i will happilty help as best i can.

@Unseen

Thanks for your answer.

About .h file

They are write in C++.
Does it mean that we can write c++ programs by the way of .h file in QB64.

Yes and no. Currently only the windows version of Qb64 supports DECLARE LIBRARY/DECALRE DYNAMIC LIBRARY. Have a look in the Library discussion area at QB64 forums http://www.qb64.net/forum/index.php?board=18.0, you should get a good idea of what you can do from all that lot. I'm happy to help if i can though.
