Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my tutorial and for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you found the explanations helpful in making your own snake game. I'm always working on new tutorials, so stay tuned for more!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful and informative. I will definitely keep creating more content like this in the future. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tim! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial and found it helpful. It did take a lot of hard work and time to put together, but comments like yours make it all worth it. I hope the tutorial inspires you to create some awesome games with raylib. Thanks again for watching!

Sure, may raylib tutorials are coming! I love raylib! Just give me some time because creating these tutorials take a lot of time! Thanks for your kind words!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It makes me really happy to know that my tutorials are helping you learn and improve your skills. As for the next tutorial, I haven't decided yet, but I'll definitely take your suggestion of Space Invader into consideration. Stay tuned and keep learning!

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your observation. You're right, it's not a convention that applies universally. In this case, I chose to adopt the naming convention used by raylib, the library we are working with. They start their functions with a capital letter, and to maintain consistency, I followed the same convention in my methods. I hope this clarifies the reasoning behind my approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

You are right, that's something we can fix. We need to declare a new variable static bool allowMove = false; at the top of the file. Then in the game loop the control block looks like this: if (EventTriggered(0.2)) { allowMove = true; game.Update(); } if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_UP) && game.snake.direction.y != 1 && allowMove) { game.snake.direction = {0, -1}; game.running = true; allowMove = false; } if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_DOWN) && game.snake.direction.y != -1 && allowMove) { game.snake.direction = {0, 1}; game.running = true; allowMove = false; } if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_LEFT) && game.snake.direction.x != 1 && allowMove) { game.snake.direction = {-1, 0}; game.running = true; allowMove = false; } if (IsKeyPressed(KEY_RIGHT) && game.snake.direction.x != -1 && allowMove) { game.snake.direction = {1, 0}; game.running = true; allowMove = false; } You can also find the updated code in the github repository. Thanks, for letting me know about this issue!

@@programmingwithnick Thank you! And thank you for making these tutorials they're extremely helpful.

In raylib, you can achieve pixel scaling by rendering your game at a lower resolution and then upscaling it to fit the screen resolution. Here are the steps in short: 1. Decide on a lower resolution for your in-game world. This resolution should be smaller than your screen resolution. For example, if your screen resolution is 800x600, you might choose a game resolution of 100x75 2. Create a special drawing surface called a "RenderTexture." This surface will be used to draw your game's world at the lower resolution. Think of it as a canvas for your game. 3. Inside the RenderTexture, draw all your game assets, characters, and objects just like you normally would. However, remember to use the smaller game resolution (e.g., 100x75) for positioning and sizing. 4. Now, render the contents of the RenderTexture to the screen. When doing this, raylib will automatically scale up the smaller resolution to fit your screen. Your game pixels will appear larger due to the scaling effect.

Thanks for watching! If you want to learn how to move an image, check my latest tutorial published 2 days ago. It is the Space Invaders in C++, it will help you achieve that easily.

Me too. Did you find a solution?

@@foofoo17 nope :(

@markaster7677 Initialize your Food object after InitWindow() fixed the issue for me

@@foofoo17 That did it! Thanks so much. Does anyone know why?

@@dp2120 I'm assuming you need a window first before loading the textures otherwise there may be errors

not a simple guy yk

In the Snake class, in the Draw method, you should draw a texture instead of a rectangle. So remove this line: DrawRectangleRounded(segment, 0.5, 6, darkGreen); and use the DrawTexture function. Just load texture and display it.

In short, deque does insert/delete from the ends, where as ArrayList supports random elements additionally. Deque uses a dynamic array internally, but elements might not be stored contiguously in memory. While ArrayList stores elements contiguously in memory. Both have a constant time complexity of (O(1)). Lastly, C++ also has a std::vector container that's similar to ArrayList and it might be a better choice for most use cases due to its contiguous memory allocation and generally better performance. Hope this helps to answer your question.

If you succefully complile and run the game using F5 with VS code, in the game folder you are going to see an execetable file created.

@@programmingwithnick ohh Thanks much man

Download the Github repository. Double click the main.code-workspace to open the VScode project. Then open the main.cpp file. If you have downloaded raylib on the default path you should be able to complile and run the game by pressing f5 on your keyboard. Then on the project folder a main.exe file will be available.

@@programmingwithnick Got it, thanks.

Yes, I will prepare a detailed video on that topic. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for your feedback!
