My Sprites are not drawing even though there is no error? - c++

Question

Here is my code.I just dont know why my sprites are not drawing. I used the window.draw() function in the nested for loop for 2d array of sprites but it is not drawing it.Just look at my nested loop for 2d array of sprites named Board. Help will be appreciated.
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<cstdlib>

music.openFromFile("mainmusic.wav");
music.play();
bool drawRed = true;
bool deletePlay = false;
//Creating window for game
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(1280, 720), "SFML", sf::Style::Close | Style::Titlebar);
//creating rect of exact sem size as window to use it for a bg
sf::RectangleShape player(sf::Vector2f(1280.0f, 720.0f));
//creating a texture for starting background
sf::Texture bg_texture;
bg_texture.loadFromFile("candy_crushbg.jpg");
player.setTexture(&bg_texture);
//creating texture for play button
Texture play;
play.loadFromFile("cstartbtn.png");
//creating sprite for play button texture

start.setTexture(play);

You must draw your board outside of the event loop.
Right now, your board is displayed only once (When you click on the left button of your mouse). You should write something like that after the 'window.clear();':
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
for (j = 0; j < 8; j++)
window.draw(Board[i][j]);
Also, you must use 'window.display();' only once and at the end of the game loop.
If your want to draw the board as long as your the left button of your mouse is pressed, you can use:
if(sf::Mouse::isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left))
{
}
