My First 2D C++ Game [Open Source]

[3Shawnster]

What program opens a basic c++ file? I have made batch files, html, a little bit of javascript, animation, made my first c++ file and windows 7 doesn't know what program opens it. I did save it as myfirstc++.cpp.

this looks like darius twin, dude!

I'm sorry but why did you use Direct x 10 for this? It seems like little overkill :) Also Directx is Windows only (which is a pain in the ass for Linux and Mac gamers and programmers).

nice.:0

I just get the background, not ships or planes :(

[ProgramEngineering]

@forrest0no I think it is because of your graphics card. Open the sprites file and change the dirver tpe on line 37 to D3D10_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE. Its going to be as slow as lil wayne rapping though.

[forrest0no]

@ProgramEngineering Huh, didnt work and when i inevitably die it wont let me play again. but i am curious as to the difference. also please add tutorials soon!

[ProgramEngineering]

@forrest0no Reference driver is for a computer that doesn't have a really good graphics card, basically. And I will upload tutorials soon, just have to finish my current projects!

[forrest0no]

@ProgramEngineering Huh, actually my graphics card is pretty much one of the best...

@ProgramEngineering hello dude im a big fan of you and your videos i was wondering if you could teach me iv been inspidered to try to learn to code a 2D game becuse of the upcomming game called terria and would like to try to to somthing like it no to give out to people but to try out. message me back

[ProgramEngineering]

@who885 tutorails comming soon

[BigSmileReviewFan]

hey, amazing game!!!! Nice work! Awsome.

How do you actually run C++ code? I have all the scripts for different games like hangman etc but have no idea how to run them.

[BrandonMWhite0117]

@Dale9987 You need to get a C++ compiler, it transforms the C++ code into a machine code EXE. I like to use CodeBlocks, it's a free compiler.

[1337RevolutionX]

@Dale9987 Get an IDE, like Visual C++ Express (get it on the Microsoft-Page).

Next, open their Project file (if any) or create one. Add the dependencies. After that, compile. But be sure that the Linker-Settings are right or u will get errors like: Undefined Reference to blabla.

the music is from F-zero X right?

Mute city?

[jagjotsingh26]

Thats very nice ! What did you use to create graphics ? Are those blasts animated gifs ?

[ProgramEngineering]

@jagjotsingh26 Sorry for the long wait for the reply, I forgot my password :D I used Windows Paint to create them and the the explosions are animated sprites.

[darktreason]

LOL nice work.
