How to do Rendering using C++ - From installing the tools to implementation

[@paskaziemia5347]

0:26 using edge only to find Firefox

[@PezzzasWork]

I was sure someone would notice :)

[@IdoN_Tlikethis]

this is the way

[@mghemke]

Also, install visual studio, but not visual studio, then install cmake and git and write your code with clion. In other words, how to develop on windows without developing on windows ;-)

[@makeandbreakgames1791]

As someone who just switched from chrome to Firefox, i approve!

[@himanshubakshi5680]

Pezza, bro this was all I was struglling on and you helped me out, I cant be more appreciative

[@PezzzasWork]

You're welcome :)

[@segganew]

*Opens Edge* *Installs Firefox*

[@nikkosstorychannel]

Babe wake up, pezza just uploaded

[@naezith]

I made and released the game "Remnants of Naezith" using SFML, between 2014 - 2018 so this is incredibly nostalgic for me ♥

[@PezzzasWork]

I didn't know about your game, I just checked the Steam page and it truly looks amazing! Very impressive work

[@naezith]

@@PezzzasWork Thank you, I watched nearly all your videos, super inspiring stuff

[@PezzzasWork]

Thank you :) !

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Sucha wonderful tutorial. Thank you for sharing!! Your (and Sebastial Lague's) videos are the ones I get really excited about when they appear on my feed. Love the ending.

[@TunedThrust]

This is what i have been waiting for from you!!

[@scienceboy908]

Same

[@Kynatosh]

Wow you do really try to explain everything, I thought this would be more about SFML but you show the whole IDE and compiler installation process, this is awesome for beginners

[@nolram]

As far as I am aware, the C++/CLI option isn‘t about commend line tools - those are always installed with the compiler - but rather a mode of interop with the .NET framework called C++/CLI (common language interface)

[@shailist]

You are correct. It also says that when hovering over the option. Ticking the extra option is unnecessary. The Developer Command Prompt is installed automatically when you install the C++ Desktop Development workload.

[@Rumplestiltzchen]

I love that you get a clean machine and literally the first thing you do is install firefox

[@nyzss]

got a bit burnt out of cpp due to a school project (which is making a webserver in cpp std++98 lol) and i've been coding again for 3 hours since initially watching this video. finally got back my will to code, thank you

[@kajij]

That is insane. I was always wondering what to use for physics simulation rendering and did my research to decide for SFML. Very convenient to have a guide here!

[@ro0n655]

the fact that you used an virtual machine just to make it easier to follow along is awesome.

[@EduCoderPL]

22:06 Bro, let me tell you that we very appreciate your creativity in ending screens that have always reference to project taht you do :)

[@Lombardio]

I get excited every time I see your channel in my notifications. Keep'em coming!

[@martonadi85]

I usually don't comment on anything, but in this case I have to say that this channel is one of the best and I can't wait for a video to be uploaded. All the best and keep up with the awesome projects. Thank you!

[@Seedx]

Perfect Timing, was just learning SFML for a school project and this vid showed up 🙏

[@PezzzasWork]

I hope it will help :)

[@Seedx]

@PezzzasWork it did, finished coding minesweeper for my final project, thank you 👍

[@2_Elliot]

Wow! This is one of the best tutorials I’ve found so far. Definitely keep making them!

[@codedeus]

Can't wait for the GUI video!

[@joe-rios]

This kind of videos, where you show "how to", are so useful. Thank you very much!

[@codedeus]

Again such quality, even as this is not your usual kind of video

[@ike__]

even though i dont need this, i do appreciate you starting from a clean vm. amazing stuff.

[@StevenJAckerman]

Very nice. Thank you for taking the time to document this process and for sharing !

[@honda_lawnmower_69420]

Je savais pas que t'étais français, j'adore tes vidéos, elle m'ont toujours donnés pleins d'idées de projet perso pendant mes études, merci beaucoup ❤️

[@hennadiikolesnikov5266]

Well that is just a masterpiece. Never seen such easy-to-watch tutorial. Watched it not cause need it, but just enjoyed my time

[@redoxee]

This is a stellar introduction to a bunch of topics!

[@totoooenf5]

- Starts from a blank VM - First thing he does is to install firefox Based

[@nin3_]

Im so excited about the graphical interfaces, i really cant wait!

[@CatwaiiYT]

Amazing work. Please keep sfml videos coming!

[@lukasf9887]

great video, looking foreward for your Graphical User Interfaces Video :D I realy love projects where you can see visual whats happening in simulations, like charts graphs and the simulation itself

[@higgsboson6274]

amazed of how you optimized the code using vertex array . Also i like the your looping method where you initialized the variable using curly bracket instead of =

[@_MrNoob]

Amazing! I've been wondering the process you go through since the Predator Vs. Prey experiment, and it's nice to get an answer. Thank you for the video.

[@larryfromspace]

idk how, but this helped me do the cloth simulation project. thanks! :)

[@tobisdev]

I love your videos! You made my c++ journey much easier❤

[@monke2220]

great video as always

[@Console.Log01]

I'm been using SFML for almost a year now and I love it. I'm currently working on a terraria remake with online multiplayer and (maybe) lua moddability.

[@CatwaiiYT]

Woah that sounds sick! Will it be open source?

[@Console.Log01]

@@CatwaiiYT probably not, but I'm hoping the lua modding will make it customizable enough. My code is bad enough that I don't think anyone should use it as an example/base.

[@CatwaiiYT]

@@Console.Log01 ah, it's okay. Well, good luck with your project! Reply to this comment if you ever release it so I get to play it!

[@TheRainHarvester]

Why use sfml instead of openGL or DirectX? Just curious

[@CatwaiiYT]

@@TheRainHarvester maybe cause sfml provides some goodies like input handling and stuff, but idk I haven't dipped my toes in it

[@VoidKnightGames]

I'm currently working on a bullethell sfml game and that method of optimization for drawing lots of objects is huge

[@thatprogramer]

Thank you so much Pezzza! I have really wanted to make games and songs a lot better!

[@simonciott]

great video! can't wait to see the next tutorials

[@mcmontagesrekatron4229]

Such a good video! Commenting just for the algorithmus 😊

[@PezzzasWork]

Thank you :)

[@nuybbyun2686]

Really great explanations, please do those next videos (also more videos in general D:)

[@luke.perkin.inventor]

Nice. You'd only see the little cross on the stars if you're using a reflecting telescope that creates diffraction spikes from the struts!

[@octaveplaz9876]

That's exactly what i needed, thanks a lot!

[@vishwa_randunu]

Amazing.... I hope next video soon....

[@Mateusz-yp3wq]

you're magician, bro

[@DeadStorm19]

très cool hâte de voir la suite

[@HiHi-iu8gf]

really sweet tutorial, cheers

[@PezzzasWork]

Thanks :)

[@luigidabro]

I would really like to see how you render these fancy lines from your previous video!

[@zarkha_]

Très très bonne idée de vidéo !

[@Kynatosh]

Woohoo I was waiting for this one

[@sahlikh1829]

Thank you Mr Pezzza

[@MooImABunny]

of course YT didn't bother showing me this video T_T btw a small nitpick about the final visuals - the crossing streaks you get when photographic a star are a result of the optical apparatus, and they don't shrink with distance, only fade. Once a star is close enough though, when it's actual size takes up more than a pixel on your screen, then the streaks become a convolution of the 1 pixel streaks and the star's on-screen shape. Now at that point the project becomes a bit of a nightmare, so you could just decide that the stars are never close enough for that to happen, which is really quite reasonable

[@AmineGM73]

Thank you very much, I always get lost when I try to visualize somethings in c++, even when installing the modules

[@pik910]

raylib is a good alternative. Its focus is on ease of use. It probably does batch drawing automagically.

[@preguica_net]

I am working with Unity Hub, it is C#. I haven't used Windows for several years. I thought about developing animations in Qt, but I'd have to do everything from scratch with OpenGL, so I gave up. At the moment perfomace isn't my problem, but since Unity is C# I hope I can delve into performance with ease with C++.

[@tiloiam]

Also, git and cmake are both available in the Visual Studio installer

[@code_871]

I really love the video. keep it up bro... 💖💖💖

[@cloudy772]

Cool stuff, you ever thought about digging into graphics programming with a GPU API such as OpenGL/DX11?

[@simexpo]

Very cool! Just wondering, would you ever consider moving to Rust & Bevy?

[@MathsSciencePhilosophy]

I used python to make animated videos but from now onwards, I will also use c++

[@Home-ro6cu]

wish i had this when i just started out

[@__8120]

I've been using SFML for years and I somehow never knew there was a "window.setFramerate" function lol. I'd just been using a timer and checking it inside the while loop

[@MagePure]

Amazing! 💡

[@cewla3348]

so this is how you develop in windows. No `sudo pacman -S visual-studio-code-bin git gcc`, you have to run installers and open a browser.

[@cemmy410]

It's barbaric, isn't it? My current job requires using visual studio on windows and I hate it 😩

[@EduCoderPL]

I can`t believe that I screwed up recreating yout simulations in C++ only because I tried to do this using CodeBlocks instead of Visual Studio :D

[@konstantin2296]

15:00 isnt it easier to setup a projection matrix with perspective and enable depth testing?

[@Pyrografpl]

Thank you😊

[@emblink27]

Super!

[@TannerJ07]

Now I have an excuse to learn c++

[@goutgueule9197]

I think you're talking about me at the start of the video

[@abuk95]

Isn't SDL better than SFML? I truly don't know, just wondering. Have you tried SDL?

[@Lordlose123]

Don't you destroy your z ordering by drawing with a single vertex array? Is there a way to tell sfml to draw the vertices with respect to the z coordinate?

[@doolee5704]

more please

[@aleksszukovskis2074]

i think there are too few videos on motionblur. i would hope to see that specifically

[@TheRainHarvester]

Just wondering...if you want different OS support, why not use openGL instead of sfml?

[@PezzzasWork]

SFML is already multi platform and overall makes things much easier. You can draw things within minutes with it, which is not the same with OpenGL for example.

[@TheRainHarvester]

@@PezzzasWork does it have lots of fonts/text support?

[@PezzzasWork]

It uses Freetype so it supports a lot of things

[@monoastro]

shouldn't the i variable start from count - 1 at 15:11 ?

[@PezzzasWork]

It is not needed because the next instruction "i--" will directly decrease it.

[@monoastro]

@@PezzzasWork I had not encountered such a way of iterating down in my uni courses so far. Thank you.

[@nxthingbutv0id958]

4:52 I already have CLion installed yet I do not have the option "Open folder as CLion Project" Is there a setting in CLion to enable that feature?

[@PezzzasWork]

It is an option to enable during the installation process, if you didn’t do it you can still add an entry to the contextual menu through the register on windows

[@manuelsuarez7521]

cool video

[@TORMENTUMM]

Can I do it in vscode instead of visual studio?

[@moonyl5341]

yes

[@suborbitalmelon8822]

Yay

[@GuildOfCalamity]

This is a fantastic tutorial! However, starting with VS and then switching to a paid-for IDE was not great IMO.

Gonk :]

[@motbus3]

I was quite surprised to find you only used sfml for that. The visuals are amazing. (They quite don't work on Mac because of resolution shenanigans but I didn't have time to check and try to fix yet)

[@PezzzasWork]

Thank you! On Mac I think the fullscreen mode makes the program crash, but it should work windowed.

[@motbus3]

@@PezzzasWork I haven't tried with this current code but I tried the balancing one sometime ago. When windows it got too big. I was able to work around changing fee variables but I didn't do the proper work to find the values automatically 😅 sorry about that.

[@DendeZepek]

omg finally

[@SLURPZZZ4461]

is sfml better than raylib for this

[@Zakzinon.m]

100 video 🎉

[@DavidRutten]

Anyone who looks at these steps and isn't revolted at the state of programming in 2024 is part of the problem. This is not a critique of Pezza, he's just showing what one needs to do... But for crying out loud Microsoft; get your shit together and make it painless for people to start programming on Windows in Visual Studio.

[@moonyl5341]

i understand what you mean but why not use something else

[@DavidRutten]

@@moonyl5341 It should not be my job as a user to figure out what I need to install, or what community to join, or what system to adopt. The operating system should make programming as easy as creating a new text file.

[@Landee]

Le boss

[@noxabellus]

I wouldn't call using sfml "from scratch" but good video anyhow

[@iamdozerq]

Using opengl, vulkan or directx in this case will lead to make something like sfml and will generate a Great Ton Of Boilerplate anyways.

[@monsieuralexandergulbu3678]

It hurts me, why not just install msys....

[@mr.hashundredsofprivatepla3711]

> “how do rendering using C++ from ZERO” > uses SFML

[@BalazsFuleki]

It's like pygame but faster

[@mghemke]

SDL is pygame but faster (Pygame is just a python wrapper of SDL)

[@joemama8516]

Pezza have you ever looked at raylib for c++ graphics if you have what are your thoughts

[@monoastro]

it's pronounced clion? i always called it klyon

[@Cantcancelmelol]

🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎

[@teenspirit1]

Wow sfml? Considering the user interfaces you've programmed so far, the visual clues led me to think that you've used imgui and raylib.

[@dot32]

His user interfaces look nothing like imgui

[@iamdozerq]

And raylib is kinda will do nothing special in this case.
