Building a Game Engine Resource Manager - RayLib 2D Challenge Part 12

In the last episode we had Scarfy cheerfully running around collecting coins. But, there was a problem looming. Every coin/object was loading its own copy of the textures & sounds that it needed, which is a massive waste.
What we need is a resource manager. Hans builds a simple resource manager in this video, and eliminates the duplicate resources.

At Kea Sigma Delta we enjoy creating useful stuff using software & electronics, and helping others to do the same.

Thanks for the tutorial. How did you learn raylib?. I want to go about learning raylib but i don't know where i should start.

[@KeaSigmaDelta]

You're welcome. I learnt Raylib basically by looking at the Cheatsheet, & examples. However, I already have extensive programming experience, including in computer graphics. So, I already have a fair idea of how things are done. You could start by looking at my RayLib2D series from the start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGGmZaKuZsx5rs0 I have been thinking about about building a course, provided there's enough interest.

Please show us how we can create this Android apk game!

I might have a look at that later.

When I tried to compile the code, I got this error .... "Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol DrawTextureTiled referenced in function "public: class raylib::Texture & __cdecl raylib::Texture::DrawTiled(struct Rectangle,struct Rectangle,struct Vector2,float,float,class raylib::Color)" (?DrawTiled@Texture@raylib@@QEAAAEAV12@URectangle@@0UVector2@@MMVColor@2@@Z) C:\ Src Code\out\build\x64-Debug\ Src Code C:\ Src Code\out\build\x64-Debug\TileMap2D.cpp.obj 1" What can I do to fix this?

[@KeaSigmaDelta]

I'll try to look into this for you later, when I have time. in the meantime, try deleting your build sub-directory, and build it again from scratch.

[@KeaSigmaDelta]

I just tried building from scratch using the files I uploaded to the website, and it worked just fine. How are you trying to build it? Using CMake as per the ReadMe? Or did you try to create your own Visual Studio project? If it's the latter, then you need to link to RayLib 4.5.0. The CMake build script will download and build RayLib automatically.

[@Nebula_Protogen752]

@@KeaSigmaDelta oooh, I was using a version of Raylib that was newer, please give me a link to 4.5.0

[@Nebula_Protogen752]

@@KeaSigmaDelta I made it as my own visual studio project, using cmake. I had to comment out several functions from files in the third party folder without knowing why. Well now I know why, I downgraded to an older version of Raylib that didn't have the comments Raylib-cpp needed. I'll let you know if this works as soon as I can

@@KeaSigmaDelta and I still got that same error. Do you have a discord account so we can talk about this over there?
