Starting a project in AppGameKit

Hi,

The video below talks first time users through starting a simple project in AppGameKit and will result in the code below. If you'd like to try the example out for yourself, you can simply cut and paste the code beneath the video into the AppGameKit IDE and click Run.

// Project: Text Example
// Created: 2014-11-21

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "Text Example" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )

CreateText (1,"Hello World")
SetTextSize (1,30)

do

SetTextPosition (1,390,300)
Sync()

loop

I heard this app can compile build and run C++ source files. How do I get it to work with something as simple as displaying "Hello World!" like this...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){

cout << "Hello World!" << flush;

return 0;
}

I'm learning C++ and I want to code in C++ to make games.

Hi,

I'm afraid I've been very busy with other pressing issues. If you've something you'd like a tutorial on, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Please create more Videos like this, AGK is in desperate Need for good Beginner Tutorials. I would use it much more but i'm not a Programmer and when you're starting from Scratch it's very hard to find enough Resources...

Hi,

We don't but that's not a bad idea. You may also find our community forums useful. There are a lot of experienced users who are very often able to help beginners.

Do you have a website where you post them as well ?

thescenecommander [author] 29 Jan, 2015 @ 10:20am

I'm glad you like them, I've a lot more planned. It's a busy time at The Game Creators, but I hope to get back to them next month.

Hope to see many more :)
