I find your voice and teaching style very soothing. What a superpower! Thanks Nick.

[@docboisgameplay4245]

no kidding THE BEST EXPLAINATIONS AND PERFECT PACE of teaching

[@Yamu_168]

Thats why I subbed and im paying money per month to this guy

[@jozegota]

awesome video. First one that could actualy get me started on raylib. Thanks nicco!

[@danielnkunga6640]

Excellent tutorial! I was lucky that all actions you preformed worked for me first try (if not very fast afterwards) and I was able to get my ball moving in just under 30 minutes! You were incredibly thorough in explaining what you were trying to do and the tutorial rarely felt slow. I'm happy just getting things to print onscreen and I'm excited to continue down your series of tutorials! P.S: I sucks to see a lot of the other comments be so negative. I got worried when I was first watching just because it looked like everyone else was being so pessimistic about everything. If your someone else also reading the comments mid tutorial, stick it out. It becomes really apparent who gave up at the first thing they didn't like and they really missed out on a great, stupid simple introduction.

[@programmingwithnick]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@starydobrymagazyn8592]

finally I was able to use raylib with c++, thanks!

[@MTSEntertainment]

Thanks, great tutorial. Everything is well presented. Raylib basics and introduction to game development. This is beautiful!

[@jamesoliphant8178]

I really enjoyed that thank you! I am looking at Raylib as a potential replacement for SDL2 for my Advanced Programming students and I think its a winner. SDL was great but the setup on the school computers was a pain and I worry about my students trying to set it up on their own at home. I like that Raylib is simpler to setup. It also hides away a lot of the pointers and references that SDL uses and simplifies a lot of other things to.

[@shivambhanu2757]

Very helpful. Clear and Concise. Thanks

[@VoidloniXaarii]

Thank you, RayLib seems impressive

[@jm98675]

your youtube channal is awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@naomigoreng]

Thank you, your teaching is superb!

[@happygofishing]

Raylib is beautiful.

[@PektraNao]

What if I don't want to use your template from you repository. How do you setup everything? Let's say I've installed raylib in my directory C: aylib, then what now?

[@chouaib1ba]

Did you find out how?

[@danielnkunga6640]

I don't know how fat you gave up on this tutorial but the first thing he does after having you run his program is to delete all of the files related to making that program work [aka: "ball.h", "ball.cpp", and all code in main.cpp]. He has you start from an empty main.cpp file and make a simplified program from scratch. I think the main point of having you clone his repo is to make sure everything downloaded/was set up properly. That being said, you do keep all the other files. The seem to be more on the GitHub/VSCode side to make sure uploaded projects can be cloned and replicated properly but I do understand if that's still a no-go for you. @PektraNao @chouab1ba

[@CoolStop2]

It says "fatal error: raylib.h: No such file or directory" when I run it with mingw g++ instead of f5

[@samg5183]

thanks, dont stop,

[@juicelizard]

If you make two separated blocks for X movements and Y movements, you could move your ball in 8 directions.

[@Aye_Sid]

Thanks sir. 🙂🙌

[@chriswinslow]

Just one minor thing. Within the game loop, you created 3 sections: 1. Event Handling, 2. Updating Positions and 3. Drawing. You typed code for sections 1 & 3 but nothing in 2. For totally beginners who this is aimed at could be left what should have been added there, when in fact the object position is within section 3, Drawing. Otherwise good getting started raylib tutorial. Not many of these about!

[@diegoaredes2721]

Thanks, teacher.

[@2000jago]

Yes! C++ thumbs up.

[@zattirizortzort486]

I get this error: fatal error: raylib.h: No such file or directory

[@ahmaddafasalam5615]

same, can anyone give us the solution?

[@cybernit3]

If you are in Windows you have to make sure the environmental variables is set for your include directory with the windows terminal or the ide you use. On Linux make sure you copy the includes into the /usr/include/ directory the files "raylib.h" and "raymath.h"

[@PraviLukijanJC]

Use the template and it should work I got the same error at the start

[@zattirizortzort486]

@@ahmaddafasalam5615 I solved it a while ago, but I think I just deleted all my settings in vscode and it fixed the issue

[@sujezz]

We kinda wanna know how to set it up not how to download your template.

[@user-ob5hj5vn8c]

The answer: It's very complex. You need to learn how Makefiles work, how C include works, how linking works, and you need to find an appropriate compiler that works with you and your host OS

[@eradawnz]

cannot open source file "raylib.h", fatal error: raylib.h: No such file or directory I followed the exact instructions on windows.

[@2Scared2notTry]

when I go to download raylib there is no option where the compiler is included pls help

[@programmingwithnick]

Don't worry, if you download this file: raylib 5.5 Windows Installer (64bit) (647 MB) the compiler is already included.

[@2Scared2notTry]

@@programmingwithnick Thanks man

[@aaabbb-gu5pz]

The RayLib is more interesting with this that it is full 3D, not only 2D like the popular SFML and SDL. So, 3D tutorials about RayLib have more sense!!!

[@mamo385]

Thank you

[@krzyszt0fus]

What about creating a basic desktop tool with some UI widgets? 😅

[@ivana.medina3126]

GREAT!

[@Thijmen-g3g]

It finally raylib works! But, how can I add rlgl?

[@CrispySmiths]

are the steps different if you are on a mac?

[@srpskihayk]

I just get a bunch of undefined references.

[@cybernit3]

with gcc? gcc -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -lraylib See I put -lraylib "%e" "%f" and got those error messages... I hope that helps I had the same problem and scratched my head, wtf...

[@Sibogrillen]

There is no main.code-worksapce?????????

[@krzyszt0fus]

Great material, few comments: the color green is a constant, 3 should be replaced with a speed constant, 20 is a "magic number" too, with the presented key handling you are not able to go on diagonal

[@ABV167]

it not working, i am getting "no file file directory"

[@ahmaddowedar]

how to open the template project using visual studio, please? (not visual studio code) thanks! :)

[@loganfrank8662]

so what happens if the ball stays still

[@programmingwithnick]

The loop will still run, printing the still ball 60 times per second!

[@To.oTNova]

Well Do any one know how can we make a menu screen where we can either select with keyboard or with mouse

[@dyamimc]

You need to create an invisible rectangle around the button/word you want to click on. Get the mouse position as a vector and then check if mouse click is released while the mouse position is within the collision of the invisible rectangle On break at work, so speed typed this. I am a beginner as well

" cannot open source file "raylib.h" " :(

[@bosballl]

Reinstall the template, then press the fn key which is near the alt key, then f5. then run the code in debug mode which worked for me.
