OpenGL Tutorial 1: Beginning the project!

[@zehawk1]

We will use it to learn about how OpenGL treats drawing calls, we actually don't really do anything to this triangle, why not head on over to my other tutorials? We go further in depth there:-)

[@captainmoonlight2]

How long is Lerraria going to be put on hold?

[@marlonsoltero6842]

Project/Target: "open - Debug": The compiler's setup (GNU GCC Compiler) is invalid, so Code::Blocks cannot find/run the compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Do you have a compiler installed? Goto "Settings->Compiler...->Global compiler settings->GNU GCC Compiler->Toolchain executables" and fix the compiler's setup. Tried to run compiler executable 'C:\MinGW/bin/gcc.exe', but failed! Skipping... Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date).

"C++ and C are basically the same" I think you should learn what exactly it is you're teaching before you start trying to teach it.

[@andrewyoung3206]

Can you explain then...

[@alanbal888]

Andrew Young C is structured programming C++ is Object Oriented programming You can abstract real world stuff into a software program with C++.

[@trevor266productions]

Well considering C++ is literally written right on top of C and you can use C syntax in C++.....

[@james4066]

That would mean C is the inferior language, so to say they are the same is wrong. If something is ," built on top of" it is not the same. I would not call an F-22 raptor and the Wright brothers plane "Basically the same."

[@vernonreject9184]

I'm learning how to write more advanced c++ right now I know the basics but I need to learn how to use it with opengl and whatnot. Once ive gotten better ill get in touch with you. Were did you learn your coding?

[@TweakDevelopment]

I can program and do some 3d modeling with Blender. I could also work on porting it to Linux or Mac OS X (although my Mac isn't working at the moment; it needs a new hard disk.

[@dmnkb]

Amazing tutorial bro. Even more impressive that you are only 15. Yet for everybody who aims to get a 3d programmer but has no knowledge of OpenGL / D3D i recomment starting with a prebuilt 3d engine (for example irrlicht 3D)

[@cubmichaels]

Gotta know how to use that windowing system

[@zehawk1]

Are you using windows? And did you do exactly what I did in the video? Watch it again to make sure...

[@4programming17]

I have an error: "expected constructor, destructor or type converter before ';' token"

[@442277100]

try imac

[@zehawk1]

I don't neccesarily use Blender, or even any 3D modeling programs at all. I hard-code everything, I prefer it that way. Although, I am attempting to make a 3D modeling program myself, I don't think it's very probable for someone at my skill level.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

@zehawk1 I dont know any of them personally, but John Carmack has his own blog especially dedicated to programming and computing, Ken Silverman has his own webpage where he shows some of his projects and you can also find his e-mail adress in there, and I bet you can contact Tim Sweeney and Cevat Yerli in one way or another.

[@mostafizurrahman3005]

I want to know, how can to use opengl in netbeans form-application. Anybody can help me.

[@zehawk1]

I've learned it on youtube and practice. I advise to just scatter gun what you learn. One day, learn lighting. The next, learn VBOs. Or you can use the library I made and I have some tutorials on my page. Check em out. The library is rather easy to use.

[@quantumhm96]

I got and error saying that drawHandle was not declared in this scope, even after importing everything

[@Nuvhandra]

Hey i did everything shown in the video, but i have the following errors: on Draw.h line 4: expected initializer before 'void' on main.cpp line 59: 'EnableOpenGL' not declared in this scope on main.cpp line 80: 'drawhandle' not declared in this scope What did i do wrong??

[@zehawk1]

I'm not sure, my computer isnt good enough to run lerria without major lag, so i think ill have to rewrite some things, which will take a long time! I'm going to probably end up investing my time into a more, original type of game. I hope you don't mind...:p

[@alrightgarylad]

This video is just what i needed. Thanks

[@ВыдуманныйПерсонаж-и8т]

Братан, спасибо огромное - с пяти туториалов, твой первый, который помог)

[@izuZ34]

it says its expecting an initializer before LRESULT

[@palker]

comment after two years!

[@vernonreject9184]

i agree thts a good idea

[@MrMegaGigaTera]

I realy like your vidoes, keep making vidoes plzzz

[@zehawk1]

I don't got steam, but I'll ad you on facebook. Do you really, personally know those people? If you do, that's freaking cool!

[@Harkendown]

I followed exactly what you did and got: ||=== Build: Debug in Practice (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===| C:\Chris\OpenGL\Practice\main.cpp|6|error: expected initializer before 'LRESULT'| C:\Chris\OpenGL\Practice\main.cpp||In function 'int WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)':| C:\Chris\OpenGL\Practice\main.cpp|26|error: 'WindowProc' was not declared in this scope| C:\Chris\OpenGL\Practice\main.cpp|58|error: 'EnableOpenGL' was not declared in this scope| ||=== Build failed: 3 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===| What did /i do wrong? Help!

[@Harkendown]

OK, it was a semi colon. Now fixed. Enjoy your tea!

[@twanakawa5551]

How do you fix this error im getting it too!

[@twanakawa5551]

Hahah it was a semicolon xD In Enable.h put a semi colon at the end of the void function for those who are having this problem too :)

[@nonameplsno8828]

It sounds if you were pinching your nose.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

Add me on Steam as tomer.feiner or iLikeTheUDK and on Facebook as Tomer Feiner. Also, I know some people whom we could get some words of wisdom from - John Carmack (Developer of the id Tech Engine, Lead Programmer and Co-Founder of id Software), Ken Silverman (Former developer of Build and Voxlap engines, freelance), Tim Sweeney (Developer of Unreal Engine, Lead Programmer and Co-Founder of Epic Games) and Cevat Yerli (Former developer of CryENGINE, Lead Programmer and Co-Founder of CryTek).

[@AzerothGames]

Is it just me or does anyone think it would b awesome if all us young(ish) programmers made a game together?

[@hungmol]

I think your tutorials are good but not best for newbie. The best way to learn is read the readbook.

[@izuZ34]

im 11 "GAME OVER YEAHHHHHH"

[@zehawk1]

Yea, you can go right ahead and add me on skype at zehawk123. We can make whatever type of project you guys wants to, like, I'm seriously down for coding a larger project with a team:D If you turn out to be good enough at coding, I may let you touch Lerria...;P

[@Kajidimeh92]

Similar in some senses, I get what you were getting at but still...

[@yaezek]

redbook????

[@smalltugz]

no prob you did warn that these tuts were hard

[@zehawk1]

This isn't true OpenGL though, this stuff is WinApi that most people don't really feel like learning. But, I admit, these aren't my best tutorials.

[@khalidsaad4042]

tnx

[@izuZ34]

alright

[@zehawk1]

Haha lucky, I wish I started earlier, but OpenGL isn't easy...

[@hungmol]

yep! :))

[@kacpd6764]

jaki ty dorosły jesteś

[@Kajidimeh92]

C++ and C are not at all the same. The syntax is similar but C++ allows object oriented programming where C doesn't. C does not have classes. C++ was based off of C but this does not mean that the code will work if it is copied and pasted from one language to the next. Copying code from one language to another will not always work. Make sure your information is clear and accurate. Just a heads up on making your tuts better. Very well done otherwise.

[@xx_xx_xx_xx3352]

the quality is sooo bad

[@smalltugz]

beginners will not learn effectively by simply just copy and pasting shit

[@zehawk1]
