in this video I show you how to setup SFML with visual studio so we can begin to work on graphical games and projects, using c++ and the SFML framework

how did this work?! Even though my folder did not have SRC in it it still worked, thx so much! Anyone else here for COMP4300 - Game Programming - Lecture 04 - Intro to SFML + Assignment 1 by Dave Churchill> 😂 Guy can teach but expects us to figure out these small stuff

you don't have to have a source folder, I just think that it helps with organization. I got into the habit of using it from watching Cherno videos lol

Why is it so hard for the great minds that make these cool libraries to add a small video showing how to set this shxt up geez, not all of us are geniuses that can understand all the crap they add to the documentation lol. Thank you good sir for making this video!!!

lol honestly I use chatgpt now to tell me how to setup libraries and what includes to use and where it works pretty good

@@FFDEV that’s a great idea thank you, I’m using cmake to do all the heavy lifting for me at the moment but I’ll start using ChatGPT to help set stuff up for sure hehe

I'm just going to thank you in advance. I don't know if it will work, but you're my last hope Obi Wan! (Even if it doesn't work, thank you for trying!)

It worked bro. Thank you so much! The other tutorials didn't specify putting ".lib" at the end of library files in the Linker->Input->AdditionalDependencies entry, so my project was looking for *.obj files during linking. My green circle is beautiful. @@FFDEV

Followed this through 5 times, pausing at each step to ensure I had everything done correctly, spelled correctly, correct versions, correct file orientation, properties settings etc., have searched online and in the SFML Docs, and ChatGPT, but no matter what I try, no matter what tutorial I use, or what computer I am on, I always end on either dozens of errors, or "error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SFML/Graphics.hpp': No such file or directory". I am using the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 Community: Version 17.8.2 on the x64 Setting (which I accounted for), which I installed all of recently on a clean install of Windows 11 OS with Visual C++ 2022. What could I be missing here? Where else can I go for help?

I see I see, to fix this you need to right click on your project and go to properties instead of the solution, the project will be whatever you named it. I hope that this helps

@FFDEV 6 ай бұрын

@@AngelofD000M if it closes right when you open it its because you dont have a game loop, it needs to be in a while loop that has a condition like a key press to end the window

@@FFDEV i put it in a while loop exactly like you did, and when I pressed play on visual studio, it shows the command line, then it shows the window, and right after the window pops up, it says the window has crashed.

Hey there! I need some help. So my vscode only has file, edit, selection, view, go, run, terminal and help i dont have the other stuff that you have in the video. Is it because i have another version of vscode? Thanks!

There's quiet a few ways to do it, this is just personally how I do it, saving a template makes it a lot easier but its still a little much
