I found this sfml tutorial written back in 2009 and I'm trying to convert it to 2.4.
I haven't been able to convert these 2 lines:
win.draw(sf::Shape::Rectangle(le.Blocks[0].fRect, sf::Color(255, 0, 0)));
rt.draw(sf::Shape(sf::Shape::Line(l.position, end, 1, l.color)));
I have been trying to convert using sf::RectangleShape as suggested over at the SFML forums but I just can't get find the right arguments to fit. Here's the full code converted to 2.x with the exception of those 2 lines.
If someone would be kind enough to "complete" the conversion I would be very grateful and I'm sure this tutorial would be helpful to others.

As there is no line shape anymore:

sf::Vertex(end, l.color)
};
