Creating Games with C++ / C#
Hello !
II would like to create a game in C++ and C#.
This langages are often used to create big projects in 3D, like with Unreal Engine or Unity. But I don't want to do some big project like that for now, but I woulld like to learn one of these langages by making a 2D game.
So, the question is :
Do you know tools or librairy to create game with C# or C++ ?
(like the JavaScript canvas)
Thanks for help and answers :)
(you can also tell me if you think it's a good idea or not)
SFML for C++ or SDL for either. They're not the easiest to set up here but i have both working.
@SPQR Nice, thanks. I'm going to check this :)
@SPQR SDL doesn't work like it just errors out... please help.
@iDracula Even the SFML example doesn't work, I'm desperate to work with either! I have a chromebook and I can only run stuff on cloud and I want to get into GUI development in c++.
@iDracula Hi! I haven't updated either of those examples in years so I'd imagine they don't work at all anymore. I may update them in the near future, but you shouldn't rely on me for this.
I don't know if I could recommend SFML or SDL for GUIs, or even C++ at all. SFML has basically no built-in GUI support that I could make any sense of, and many programmers much more knowledgeable than I say that C++ is horrible for writing GUIs, unless maybe it's for Windows, but you can't really write code for a Windows system using a Chromebook (all cloud development platforms that I know of use Linux.)
If you're already committed to C++, I would do some searching for a C++ GUI library that runs on Linux systems, and try to get that working on here.
If not, I would personally recommend Java for GUIs as it's fairly easy to learn if you already know C++, and it's a lot better for GUIs overall.
