<div>This tutorial introduces the [[Beginner C++ Game Programming Series]] and walks you through the setup required to follow along with Chili. It also explains who the series is intended for, the goals and outline of the series, and tips on how to succeed, but you can skip all that bullshit if you have crippling ADD. For a detailed list of what is covered in Beginner, see [[Beginner C++ Game Programming Series#Topics Covered|this page]].<br />

== <span style="color:#FF0000">IMPORTANT NOTE!</span> ==<br />
Since this video was recorded, Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2017 Community and Visual Studio 2019 Community. You can still download VS2015 and use it for the tutorials, and this might make things a little simpler (<u>2015 is actually a lot better for learning C++ at this point than the newer releases of Visual Studio</u>), but the new Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2019 can also be used in the tutorials. However, the installation processes for VS2017 and VS2019 are different, and when you open a [[Chili Framework|Framework]] solution in newer releases of VS for the first time, there is an automatic dialog that you need to handle in order to upgrade the solution to VS2017 or VS2019 (And sometimes, even if you handle the dialog properly, you still get fucked over and have to fix things manually. Thanks Obama!).<br />
<br />
Check out [https://youtu.be/39IsItNIoQs <big>THIS VIDEO</big>] for details on the installation of VS2017 and the process of opening a framework solution in VS2017.<br />
<br />
A separate video on getting started with VS2019 is gonna get pooped out soon.<br />

* Constructing array of objects: default constructor [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4IdBkegBuY&t=18m30s 18:30]<br />
* Note: There are special member functions in C++ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4IdBkegBuY&t=19m54s 19:54]<br />
* Initializing poos [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4IdBkegBuY&t=21m39s 21:39]<br />

<div>Here we learn about the concept of encapsulation (ask your mom where she keeps the Vicodin!), which is the main principle behind object oriented programming (so listen the fuck up eh?). We also learn how to construct shit, and how to make our shit private.<br />
<br />
== <span style="color:pink">Important Note</span> ==<br />
Visual Studio has a <cool feature> wherein when you use "quick actions... -> move definition location" on a constructor, it adds a goddamn <code>inline</code> keyword which fucks the whole goddamn works up! D:< This is fixed in the homework solution, but if you are attempting the homework before peeking (as you should be), then this could fuck you up royally. Keep it in mind.<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Encapsulation and data hiding<br />
* How to create a constructor<br />
* How do initialize embedded objects (class initializer list)<br />
* How to control member access (<code>private</code> keyword)<br />
<br />
== Encapsulation ==<br />
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18300953/why-encapsulation-is-an-important-feature-of-oop-languages/18301027#18301027 This page] has some interesting discussion on why we bother with all this encapsulation bullshit.<br />
<br />
== Video Timestamp Index ==<br />
* Intro [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=0m0s 0:00]<br />
* Encapsulation: Difference between <code>public</code> and <code>private</code> data members [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=0m55s 0:55]<br />
* Poo class: Making member data private [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=2m43s 2:43]<br />
* Important note on "Getters" and "Setters" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=5m0s 5:00]<br />
* Advantages of <code>private</code> member data with a getter and setter, as opposed to just <code>public</code> member data [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=7m7s 7:07]<br />
* Constructors: setting values during object initialization [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=9m30s 9:30]<br />
* Class initializer list: Initializing embedded objects (Poo objects inside a Game object) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=12m34s 12:34]<br />
* Class initializer list order must correspond to the order of data member declaraion [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=17m10s 17:10]<br />
* Visual Studio tricks: Quick actions -> Move definition location, but with a little brainfucky surprize you will learn about very soon [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=19m59s 19:59]<br />
* Reasons to properly encapsulate class member data [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=20m52s 20:52]<br />
* Homework [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBiAUKfVhM&t=30m10s 30:10]<br />

<div>References are sweet because they let us control our shit from far away. Remember the days when we had to actually get up to change the channel on the TV? Remember TV? Fuck that shit! Also, const correctness is for big dick gangstas that don't give any fucks.<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* References<br />
* Passing by reference<br />
* <code>[[const]]</code> correctness (redux)<br />
<br />
== Const Correctness ==<br />
The use of <code>const</code> as a means of communication by code and as method to prevent you and other people from shooting you (your code / themselves) in the dick is something that Chili finds cromulent. For some info on how <code>const</code> makes your code less shitty, check [https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/const-correctness#const-and-type-safety this]. If you're still not sold (I happen to like being a human dumpster fire, thank you very much Chili), here is a video showing how using <code>const</code> can make your code a fuck of a lot faster: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBkNBP00wJE&feature=youtu.be&t=1455 cool beans].<br />

== Homework ==<br />
There are three problems to solve in three separate solutions. The solutions are all based on the code used in the tutorial video (the code from the Tutorial 6 homework) Download the zip of the solutions below in the Downloads section.<br />
# Assertion fails! Find the bug! Also, there's another bug hiding if you solve the first one. Try making the boxes collide and see what happens (or what doesn't happen...). Note that I don't talk about this second bug in the solution video. Check out the Solution Errata below for the answer.<br />
# Assertion fails! Find the bug!<br />
# Moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen is bad news bears...<br />
<br />
The solution is given in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reTJUqZspYs this video].<br />
<br />
=== Solution Errata ===<br />
Read the below (click Expand) only after attempting the problem yourself.<br />
<br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:700px"><br />
In the solution video, we see that the bug in the second homework problem is actually the same bug as in the tutorial video. The reason for this is that Chili fucked up and put the bug he intended to go in the second problem into the first problem. So the first problem has two bugs, and the second problem only has the bug from the tutorial.<br />
<br />
Now the bug in the second problem is something that Chili has mentioned before. It is a mix-up between the <code>=</code> and <code>==</code> operators. Specifically, it is as follows (error on line 64 of Game.cpp):<br />
<br />
<source lang="cpp" line start="64"><br />

<div>In this tutorial we explore the idea of animation in computer graphics and we make the reticle move freely around the screen. Along the way we learn about classes and objects, how to add member variables to objects/<code>class</code>es, about .h (header) and .cpp (source) files, and about the short harsh lives of local variables (scope).<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Animation and the game loop<br />
* Variable scope<br />
* The concept of objects<br />
* Classes and their relation to objects<br />
* Data members (member variables) and member functions<br />
* Difference between .h and .cpp files<br />
* Adding data members to a <code>class</code><br />
* Separating logic and drawing code<br />

It will be made in due time, and when it is you will get a notification if you put good old Chili in your notification list for YouTube. I'll put the link here as well when the video gets made and uploaded. Until then, don't take any wooden nickels or whatever.<br />
<br />
== Homework Questions ==<br />
This lesson's homework is to answer the following questions. When you think you have the answer, click "expand" to reveal the correct answer.<br />
<br />
1. What symbols are a common indicator of the scope of a local variable?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: The curly braces <code>{}</code>.<br />
</div><br /><br />
2. What are the two types of members that define a class?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: Data members and member functions.<br />
</div><br /><br />
3. What is the relationship between classes and objects.<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: Classes are like a template or a blueprint that specifies the shape of an object. Objects are data structures in memory that are created, shaped, and which behave based on how they are specified in their class. We say that an object is an ''instance'' of a class.<br />
</div><br /><br />
4. How do we achieve the movement of the reticle.<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: We achieve movement of the reticle by making the variables <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> member variables of <code>class Game</code>. In doing so, we no longer lose the values of these variables from frame to frame (when they are local variables, they are destroyed after exiting the <code>ComposeFrame()</code> function, i.e. after each frame).<br />
</div><br /><br />
5. How are the members <code>gfx</code> and <code>wnd</code> in <code>class Game</code> different?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: <code>Game::gfx</code> is an object which is embedded directly into objects of the <code>Game</code> class, whereas <code>Game::wnd</code> is a reference to a <code>MainWindow</code> object that exists outside of and is independent of the <code>Game</code> object.<br />
</div><br /><br />
<br />
== Errata ==<br />
* In Part 1 at 6:00 there is a mistake in the diagram where Chili shows the concept of animation from one frame to the next. The "frame 2": "draw 2nd object" (blue triangle) should have the blue triangle drawn to the right as it is shown in "draw 3rd object".<br />
* In Part 3 when we make the <code>gb</code> variable a member variable, it will maintain its value from frame to frame. So if we don't reset it every frame, then the first time we press CTRL and set it to 255, it will forever after be stuck at 255, which is probably not desired behavior. ;)<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* If you get a crash when the reticle goes off the screen when Chili can make his reticle wrap from right to left, make sure your build configuration is set to <code>Release</code> and not <code>Debug</code>.<br />
* This is version 2 of this tutorial. Version 1 was released back in August 2016, but it caused a lot of people to lose their shit and give up on the awesomeness that is C++, so Chili remade it. It's now over twice as long, and jam packed full of juicy knowledge, with a liberal smattering of memes as well.<br />

Using the concepts taught so far, create a program that allows you to position the reticle in one of 9 positions (regular 3x3 grid) by holding the arrow keys, change its color by holding the control key, and change its shape by holding the shift key. The solution is given in [https://youtu.be/lTSaoRYo430 this video].<br />

<div>This tutorial is all about making sweet ass boxes ([[variable|variables]]) to jam your hot numbers into and using [[operator|operators]] (addition and subtraction) to add and subtract shit.<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Commenting (adding comments to) code / commenting out lines of code<br />
* [[variable|Variables]] (specifically <code>int</code>)<br />
* [[operator|Operators]] (specifically addition <code>+</code> and subtraction <code>-</code>)<br />

<br />
== Homework ==<br />
The homework for this lesson is to modify the reticle drawing code so that you can change the position of the reticle by only changing two numbers (literal constants) in the code. Make sure you uncomment the lines that were commented, or you'll get a pretty shitty excuse for a reticle. The solution will be given in the beginning of the next tutorial.<br />

<div>Here we learn about the concept of encapsulation (ask your mom where she keeps the Vicodin!), which is the main principle behind object oriented programming (so listen the fuck up eh?). We also learn how to construct shit, and how to make our shit private.<br />
<br />
== <span style="color:pink">Important Note</span> ==<br />
Visual Studio has a <cool feature> wherein when you use "quick actions... -> move definition location" on a constructor, it adds a goddamn <code>inline</code> keyword which fucks the whole goddamn works up! D:< This is fixed in the homework solution, but if you are attempting the homework before peeking (as you should be), then this could fuck you up royally. Keep it in mind.<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Encapsulation and data hiding<br />
* How to create a constructor<br />
* How do initialize embedded objects (class initializer list)<br />
* How to control member access (<code>private</code> keyword)<br />

<div>References are sweet because they let us control our shit from far away. Remember the days when we had to actually get up to change the channel on the TV? Remember TV? Fuck that shit! Also, const correctness is for big dick gangstas that don't give any fucks.<br />

<br />
== Const Correctness ==<br />
The use of <code>const</code> as a means of communication by code and as method to prevent you and other people from shooting you (your code / themselves) in the dick is something that Chili finds cromulent. For some info on how <code>const</code> makes your code less shitty, check [https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/const-correctness#const-and-type-safety this]. If you're still not sold (I happen to like being a human dumpster fire, thank you very much Chili), here is a video showing how using <code>const</code> can make your code a fuck of a lot faster: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBkNBP00wJE&feature=youtu.be&t=1455 cool beans].<br />

<br />
== Homework ==<br />
There are three problems to solve in three separate solutions. The solutions are all based on the code used in the tutorial video (the code from the Tutorial 6 homework) Download the zip of the solutions below in the Downloads section.<br />
# Assertion fails! Find the bug! Also, there's another bug hiding if you solve the first one. Try making the boxes collide and see what happens (or what doesn't happen...). Note that I don't talk about this second bug in the solution video. Check out the Solution Errata below for the answer.<br />
# Assertion fails! Find the bug!<br />
# Moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen is bad news bears...<br />
<br />
The solution is given in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reTJUqZspYs this video].<br />
<br />
=== Solution Errata ===<br />
Read the below (click Expand) only after attempting the problem yourself.<br />
<br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:700px"><br />
In the solution video, we see that the bug in the second homework problem is actually the same bug as in the tutorial video. The reason for this is that Chili fucked up and put the bug he intended to go in the second problem into the first problem. So the first problem has two bugs, and the second problem only has the bug from the tutorial.<br />
<br />
Now the bug in the second problem is something that Chili has mentioned before. It is a mix-up between the <code>=</code> and <code>==</code> operators. Specifically, it is as follows (error on line 64 of Game.cpp):<br />
<br />
<source lang="cpp" line start="64"><br />
colliding == <br />
OverlapTest( x_fixed0,y_fixed0,x_mobile,y_mobile ) ||<br />
OverlapTest( x_fixed1,y_fixed1,x_mobile,y_mobile ) ||<br />
OverlapTest( x_fixed2,y_fixed2,x_mobile,y_mobile ) ||<br />
OverlapTest( x_fixed3,y_fixed3,x_mobile,y_mobile );<br />

== Homework ==<br />
The homework for this lesson is to modify the reticle drawing code so that you can change the position of the reticle by only changing two numbers (literal constants) in the code. Make sure you uncomment the lines that were commented, or you'll get a pretty shitty excuse for a reticle. The solution will be given in the beginning of the next tutorial.<br />

<div>In this tutorial we explore the idea of animation in computer graphics and we make the reticle move freely around the screen. Along the way we learn about classes and objects, how to add member variables to objects/<code>class</code>es, about .h (header) and .cpp (source) files, and about the short harsh lives of local variables (scope).<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Animation and the game loop<br />
* Variable scope<br />
* The concept of objects<br />
* Classes and their relation to objects<br />
* Data members (member variables) and member functions<br />
* Difference between .h and .cpp files<br />
* Adding data members to a <code>class</code><br />
* Separating logic and drawing code<br />

I'll put the link here as well when the video gets made and uploaded. Until then, don't take any wooden nickels or whatever.<br />
<br />
== Homework Questions ==<br />
This lesson's homework is to answer the following questions. When you think you have the answer, click "expand" to reveal the correct answer.<br />
<br />
1. What symbols are a common indicator of the scope of a local variable?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: The curly braces <code>{}</code>.<br />
</div><br /><br />
2. What are the two types of members that define a class?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: Data members and member functions.<br />
</div><br /><br />
3. What is the relationship between classes and objects.<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: Classes are like a template or a blueprint that specifies the shape of an object. Objects are data structures in memory that are created, shaped, and which behave based on how they are specified in their class. We say that an object is an ''instance'' of a class.<br />
</div><br /><br />
4. How do we achieve the movement of the reticle.<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: We achieve movement of the reticle by making the variables <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> member variables of <code>class Game</code>. In doing so, we no longer lose the values of these variables from frame to frame (when they are local variables, they are destroyed after exiting the <code>ComposeFrame()</code> function, i.e. after each frame).<br />
</div><br /><br />
5. How are the members <code>gfx</code> and <code>wnd</code> in <code>class Game</code> different?<br /><br />
<div class="mw-collapsed mw-collapsible" style="width:450px"><br />
A: <code>Game::gfx</code> is an object which is embedded directly into objects of the <code>Game</code> class, whereas <code>Game::wnd</code> is a reference to a <code>MainWindow</code> object that exists outside of and is independent of the <code>Game</code> object.<br />
</div><br /><br />
<br />
== Errata ==<br />
* In Part 1 at 6:00 there is a mistake in the diagram where Chili shows the concept of animation from one frame to the next. The "frame 2": "draw 2nd object" (blue triangle) should have the blue triangle drawn to the right as it is shown in "draw 3rd object".<br />
* In Part 3 when we make the <code>gb</code> variable a member variable, it will maintain its value from frame to frame. So if we don't reset it every frame, then the first time we press CTRL and set it to 255, it will forever after be stuck at 255, which is probably not desired behavior. ;)<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* If you get a crash when the reticle goes off the screen when Chili can make his reticle wrap from right to left, make sure your build configuration is set to <code>Release</code> and not <code>Debug</code>.<br />
* This is version 2 of this tutorial. Version 1 was released back in August 2016, but it caused a lot of people to lose their shit and give up on the awesomeness that is C++, so Chili remade it. It's now over twice as long, and jam packed full of juicy knowledge, with a liberal smattering of memes as well.<br />

== Homework ==<br />
Using the concepts taught so far, create a program that allows you to position the reticle in one of 9 positions (regular 3x3 grid) by holding the arrow keys, change its color by holding the control key, and change its shape by holding the shift key. The solution is given in [https://youtu.be/lTSaoRYo430 this video].<br />

== Homework ==<br />
The homework for this lesson is to modify the reticle drawing code so that you can change the position of the reticle by only changing two numbers (literal constants) in the code. Make sure you uncomment the lines that were commented, or you'll get a pretty shitty excuse for a reticle. The solution will be given in the beginning of the next tutorial.<br />

<div>In this tutorial we explore the idea of animation in computer graphics and we make the reticle move freely around the screen. Along the way we learn about classes and objects, how to add member variables to objects/<code>class</code>es, about .h (header) and .cpp (source) files, and about the short harsh lives of local variables (scope).<br />
<br />
== Concepts Taught ==<br />
* Animation and the game loop<br />
* Variable scope<br />
* The concept of objects<br />
* Classes and their relation to objects<br />
* Data members (member variables) and member functions<br />
* Difference between .h and .cpp files<br />
* Adding data members to a <code>class</code><br />
* Separating logic and drawing code<br />
