This knowledge isn’t something that I have found to be taught. In reality, this shouldn’t be the difficult part of building your game. This meant that I simply did not know how to incorporate a library into my code, or I’d be banging my head against a wall trying to resolve errors that occurred when trying to compile. I didn’t understand how my source code was turned into an executable or library, nor did I understand how to compile platform-independent code. I struggled because I simply didn’t understand how C++ programs were built and distributed over the internet. The value 1 represents failed execution.One of the hardest things I found when first learning C++, outside of learning about pointers and memory management, was how to successfully compile code using third-party libraries.Īs a game developer, you rely a lot on libraries for aspects of your game, such as rendering and physics, and it can be surprisingly tricky to successfully compile an empty project with these libraries included. return 0 – This statement returns value 0 from the main() function which indicates that the execution of main function is successful. This object can also display the value of variables on screen(don’t worry, we will see that in the coming tutorials).Ħ. cout << “Hello World!” – The cout object belongs to the iostream file and the purpose of this object is to display the content between double quotes as it is on the screen. That is the main reason we have a return 0 statement at the end of main function.ĥ. int main() – As the name suggests this is the main function of our program and the execution of program begins with this function, the int here is the return type which indicates to the compiler that this function will return a integer value. Just follow the tutorial in the given sequence and you would be fine.Ĥ. I have covered this topic in a separate tutorial with examples. I will not discuss this in detail here as it may confuse you. Here std is a namespace name, this tells the compiler to look into that particular region for all the variables, functions, etc. using namespace std – A namespace is like a region, where we have functions, variables etc and their scope is limited to that particular region. This file contains pre defined input/output functions that we can use in our program.ģ. This is where the execution of program beginsĬout – This statements tells the compiler to include iostream file. Lets see the program first and then we will discuss each and every part of it in detail.
We are writing a simple C++ program that prints “Hello World!” message. In this guide we will write and understand the first program in C++ programming.
