Setting up OpenGL and Creating a Window in C++

[@Redheadtama1]

Note for anyone following this tutorial in Visual Studio 2022, after making the configuration changes to the include and lib directories, if you still have compiler errors and red squigglies, make sure the active platform is x86 (at the top of the main window, to the left of the "Local Windows Debugger" button, click the dropdown to switch from x64 to x86. Now if you reopen the configuration properties window, you should see the Platform dropdown says "Active(Win32)" and your changes should take effect.

I can't believe this guy got me to do anything in opengl without using someone else's build entirely. Getting openGL running is the single biggest obstacle holding back people from learning computer graphics basics.

[@温旭阳]

yeah, the setting up is not easy for beginners

[@junehanabi1756]

The thing Cherno gets right compared to other tutorials is that he focuses on teaching the basics first. While that sounds like many other tutorials it's actually not. There's 2 common and IMHO bad teaching methods others do. 1) Teach by example (Give you a block of code spanning several lines, explain some of it, but leave you to figure out the rest to understand the basics.) 2) Teach by building a complex program (Give you a much longer program, explain what each line does without really helping you understand much of it and progressively span several files and thousands of lines teaching you the basics) Both of those are ubiquitously common online and many teachers swear it's the best way to learn. But they're both garbage IMHO, you need to start small and play around with one concept at a time with the most minimal lines of code possible. You want focus on the once concept so you don't want any other distractions with too much other stuff going on including other concepts you also haven't fully understood. Cherno focuses on helping you understand the concept being taught and encourages you to play around with just that one concept to really learn it. I really wish more teachers did this and not try to throw too much in and have too much going on that you just can't figure anything out, become stressed and overwhelmed, feel abandoned, and ultimately quit. With Cherno's method you actually feel like you understand something and feel like you're having fun.

[@NavyaVedachala]

[@kacperpajak3]

ur my hero

[@t3st3d]

thats why its not working

[@shavais33]

win32? In the project properties? Even if you've downloaded the x64 glfw binary? What if you're trying to create an x64 library/app? If you build glfw from source does it work with x64? I was thinking this morning about why it is that C++ is such an enormous pain to use compared with, say, C#, for example. I don't think it's actually the need to deal with pointers or memory management, or the incredible verbosity that's required to satisfy the type checker, or anything really to do with the language itself. That kind of thing can be a bit troublesome, sure. But I don't think any of that is actually what causes the vast majority of the hair tearing and time loss. I think the thing that causes the vast majority of the hair tearing and time loss with C++ is all about the build environment. It's related to the 500 or so spurious errors you get, associated with the giant mountain of dependencies you have, if one tiny little thing isn't exactly right. With C++, the actual thing which is causing your problem is referenced by a needle in a haystack. And the needle is probably pointing in the wrong direction. Why does that happen with C++ and not with, say, C#, for example? I think the key difference is the need to compile header files. In C#, and in Python, PHP, Ruby, Lua, etc., the manifest of what is in a library is built into the library itself and is known to the compiler (or jitter or interpreter, etc.) at compile time without needing to depend on the success of the compilation of a header. In C++, if something goes wrong with the compilation of one header, all of the headers that depend on that won't compile either, and so the compiler has no idea what's in any of the whole tree of libraries that depend directly or indirectly on that library. I think that by itself is The Thing that causes by far and away the most headaches with C++. What if we came up with a new type of library which doesn't require a header to use? What if our C++ libraries imbedded a complete manifest that is explorable by a tool similar to the C# assembly browser? If we could manage that, then if one or two calls were mismatched in some way, we'd only get errors about those one or two calls, instead of getting a cascade of errors about every call made by any part of the mountain of dependencies to anything in that library or any of the libraries in the whole tree of libraries that depend directly or indirectly on that library! I bet that notion By Itself, with No Other Changes, has the potential to reduce the hair tearing and time loss associated with using C++ by something like 90%. "But what about all the header-only libraries!?" We like them because with them at least we don't get link time errors. And they force full disclosure and don't require us to look in two places in order to know how a given function works / exactly what it does. But think about all the horde of compile time errors you get out of STL when something goes wrong in the header compilation process. Is that really better than getting one link time error? If libraries had complete manifests that were readily explorable, the linking process could be merged with the compilation process. If you had the source code for a library, the compiler/linker could potentially direct you to the line of code that caused what is today a link time error. And in header-less C++, you would never need to look in two places to know how a function works / exactly what it does. Headers have the advantage of showing you a brief manifest that you can use to navigate to the implementation code. But if an IDE could give you a way to see that browse that manifest, and use it to navigate to the implementation code for a given class or member, and even open little sub windows into it the way VS does with "Quick Actions", without needing to manually create or maintain the header itself, wouldn't that be better? Header-less C++. Difficult to come up with, maybe, but I bet it would be worth it in spades.

[@signedlongint69]

@@shavais33 It seems your essay is about you hating C++… you do realise it is meant to be a low-level language, don’t you?

[@shavais33]

​@@signedlongint69 It's not about hating C++ at all! I like C++ in general, in fact I choose to use it in my own projects. I was just proposing the supposition that header files from external libraries that have to be compiled into your project are more trouble than they're worth and that there is a better solution. I think maybe I need to experiment with C++20's "modules" feature.

[@MiningMadness0029]

Just a side note for those on Windows, you don't actually have to go through the process of linking all those libraries at 15:38, you can just type in "%(AdditionalDependencies)" to include all the default libraries for you. No need to Google the errors and link them manually. :)

[@LoxagosSnake]

Because this guy is an industry professional (EA Games) and most others are not. Even a great developer making a tutorial that hasn't been exposed to the formalities and practices of professional software engineering won't have had as much practice. Programming really is a matter of exposure.

[@cpuwrite]

RPMedia, I have written computer programs, manuals and fiction, and edited novels for publishing houses, so I've got a little bit of experience in this arena. One of the things you have to be careful with when checking out a novel is that the author isn't too close to the story. Remember: more than anyone who reads the story, the writer lives in its world. Some things may seem so obvious that they're not worth mentioning. That's one of the places where an editor comes in. The same holds true for a tutorial. Sometimes, some tips and tricks are so ingrained into the tutor that they just go without saying. Here is where a reviewer earns his or her (paltry) pay. What Cherno does that makes him so good is to take you right through the process, from a first-person point of view. He's also obviously been doing this for a while, so he knows what he's doing, but, more importantly, since he takes you through the actual process, the problems he has are going to be the problems he has. Also, Cherno just plain has a knack for it. Some do.

[@jakubpruher979]

Generally spaeaking, people suck at explaining things because they just regurgitate what they have been told and have never internalized the knowledge by meditating on the subject. I see this all the time and it's driving me fucking crazy!

[@bonbonpony]

So what exactly did he explain in this video, besides the things every C++ programmer should know already BEFORE getting into OpenGL programming? (or any APIs whatsoever) He didn't explain a single line of the code he used, he just copy-pasted the code from the documentation, added a bunch of other function calls he didn't explain either, and that's pretty much it :P Yeah, I agree with the rest of people in this comment thread: some people just *suck at explaining* :q What's worse, many people suck at noticing it, and they all cheer to the fact that they actually learnt nothing actually useful :P

[@blocksofwater4758]

did you get a "glfw.lib cannot open" and if you did , how did you fix it?

[@MrBatraaf]

@@blocksofwater4758 No, but when you get library errors like that there are basically only a few possibilities: - the .lib file that you downloaded is corrupt or still zipped or stored in a place where the compiler cannot "see" it. - the compiler is not pointed to the correct files in the project settings In one of the next tutorials I made the mistake of linking both the dynamic and static libraries, and then the project would not work until I placed rhe .dll file in the project folder. Btw, Cherno also has an excellent tutorial on the use of libraries in general. I would recommend you practice by creating a simple library of your own; maybe a simple calculator or some string manipulation functions. In my experience, the trickiest part of programming is not the programming itself, but setting up the toolchain and the compiler. More than once I got so frustrated that I left the whole thing for a while. The subject is a little boring, but it's worth spending some extra time and effort. What also helps is to compile some simple programs from the command line, rather than using the IDE. That will give you a better understanding of what is happening under the hood.

you used 1min to talk about 32bit, meh

[@charlotte80389]

4:59 doing it without help feels like an accomplishment tbh

[@spicytuna08]

Everything compiles and links but I am f getting: Unhandled exception at 0x00FA7F50 in OpenGL VS.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000280. does anyone know why?

[@Bereseker]

19:43 And! Read the documentation.

[@Fireanen]

My teacher: Took 6h to explain to the whole class how to draw a triangle in about 500 lines of code. (Minimal code he said) The Cherno: Draw that same triangle in only 43 lines.

[@jacobhaig2372]

[@moviemaker1220]

I have copied exactly what is done in this video, but my window does not open when I run the application, any thoughts on why?

[@TheGrimravager]

4:59 you just hate linux :p not a single problem, the guide they provided was very clear and easy to understand^^

[@vivekpanchagnula815]

most distros have it in their package manager tho

[@SuperFluffyCarrot]

Very clean colors in this video m8!

[@gamesniper98]

If linking doesn't work and visual studio isn't recognizing your header files (AKA: you're still getting squiggly lines) try adding "yourProjectName\" before decencies. To make sure it works under properties click on edit and then paste that long directory under evaluated values into your file explorer.

Didn't realize I put dependencies into a second folder by the same name as the project one. Thank you for pointing this out!

[@harshitjoshi3082]

Thank you so much for making this video !

[@adityagoyal6964]

Me: "damn why i am getting so many linking errors", After spending 2 hours to resolve all errors Cherno: "You don't need to do that...i just wanna show you how it works" 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😢

[@adityatiwari3646]

Damm mann thiss man 😭⭐ Legitt thanksss a lottttt ⭐

[@Darkxellmc]

Welp, it took me 2 hours to setup a c++ hello world in visual studio following the official microsoft doc (would've taken 10 minutes in a folder with clang let's be real). It then took me 20 minutes to display a triangle in opengl following this tutorial. Thanks you.

[@bijianwu5124]

thanks for making these very helpful videos

[@Redmile2006]

I'm confused about something. Everything works, but when you said we had to link against the opengl library at 15:08, we added that library called opengl32.lib, so where is that file coming from? It wasn't part of the GLFW library that we downloaded and it's not in our dependencies folder. Does it come with Windows?

[@obadacharif1744]

I've the same problem, it didn't work for me !

[@ahbarahad3203]

its a standard library that comes with windows i think just like shell32.lib and User32.lib
