Opengl Programming In Dev C++
I'm a decent artist (I will have some of my work below) I know the basics of C but I really would like to get into OpenGL. I need someone to show me some good tutorials for OpenGL with C so I can really get into game development. My goal is to be able to program a simple 2D game by the end of the year and I have lots of time to do so.
C++ Opengl Game
C++ Opengl Gui
Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.comInstallation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler OptionsHere, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File (or Ctrl+N)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As... (or Ctrl+Alt+S)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp extension, such as example.cpp.Now, hitting
F11 should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.
