Thomas: /* Const Correctness */

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.

== Concepts Taught ==
* References
* Passing by reference
* <code>[[const]]</code> correctness (redux)

== Const Correctness ==
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].

== Video Timestamp Index ==
Coming soon!

== Homework ==
# Move the drawing code for <code>Dude</code> from <code>Game</code> into the <code>Dude</code> class.
# Make a second <code>DrawRect</code> function that takes a single point (top left corner) and the dimensions as parameters.

The solution is given in [https://youtu.be/MOhF8Z2jW0k this] video.

Thomas:

The beginner series is meant to teach fundamental C++ programming concepts. It also covers some basic graphics programming theory. Also: making shitty little games. It is suitable even for those with zero programming experience. If this ain't your first rodeo, you can use this page to jump through the lessons, skipping any B.S. you already know.

== Topics Covered ==
=== C++ Language - Procedural Basics ===
*Basic [[variable|variables]] (<code>int</code>,<code>bool</code>,<code>float</code>), <code>[[const]]</code> specifier, <code>auto</code>
*Type casting (c-style (type) cast)
*Basic arithmetic operations (<code>+</code>, <code>-</code>, <code>/</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>%</code>, precedence <code>()</code>, assignment <code>+=</code> etc.,<code>++</code>/<code>--</code> )
*Conditionals (<code>if</code>...<code>else</code>, <code>switch</code>...<code>case</code>)
*Boolean logic operations (<code>||</code>, <code>&&</code>, <code>!</code>)
*Comparisons (<code>></code>, <code><</code>, <code>==</code>, <code><=</code>, <code>>=</code>, <code>!=</code>)
*Loops (<code>while</code>, <code>for</code>, <code>do</code>...<code>while</code>, range-based for)
*Writing functions / function parameters / return values / overloading functions
*References <code>&</code> / pass by reference-vs-pass by value
*Arrays <code>[]</code>
*<code>struct</code> (and its difference from <code>class</code>)
*<code>enum class</code>
*<code>namespace</code> / <code>using</code>
*Forward declaration of classes to break circular <code>#include</code> cycles
*Uniform initialization of classes / structs with <code>{}</code>

=== C++ Language - Object Oriented Basics ===
*Creating objects, calling member functions
*Creating <code>class</code>es, data members, and member functions
*<code>public</code> / <code>private</code> member access / encapsulation and data hiding
*<code>[[const]]</code>/non-mutating member functions
*Writing constructors / initializing embedded objects
*Default (automatic) constructor / <code>= default</code>;
*Delegating constructors
*<code>static</code> member variables / <code>static constexpr</code> member variables
*Nested classes
*Forward declaration to break circular dependencies
*Implementing operators for classes

=== C++ Language - Standard Library ===
*Rng <random> <code>std::mt19973</code> / uniform_distributions
*Utility functions <code>std::min</code> / <code>std::max</code> / <code>std::swap</code>
*Math functions <code>std::abs</code> / <code>std::sqrt</code>
*Measuring time <code><chrono></code> <code>std::chrono::steady_clock</code> / duration
*Assertions <code><assert.h></code>
=== Chili Framework ===
*Gfx: putpixel/screenwidth/height
*Color: getting/setting RGB color components
*Mouse/kbd: input (polled and event-driven)
*Sound: loading and playing sounds
=== Game Programming Concepts ===
*Game loop / frame based animation
*Grid coordinate systems and mappings
*Variable (measured) time step and fixed time step
*Basic rectangle collision detection and handling
=== General Programming Techniques ===
*Recursion
*Managing a partially-filled array
*Mapping a 2D array onto a 1D array
=== Graphics Concepts ===
*Compiled sprite
*Drawing filled rectangles and filled circles
*Drawing beveled graphics
*Pulsating color animation effect
=== Math / Physics Concepts ===
*Position / velocity / acceleration
*Rebounding off of a vertical/horizontal surface
*Basic vector math (vector add/sub/scale/length/normalize)
=== Other Skills ===
*Basic visual studio IDE usage & navigation
*Visual studio debugger
*Git + MSVC
*Basic understanding of compiler, linker, .h/.cpp files, .lib/.obj files
*Using regex find/replace in visual studio

== History ==
This series is a reboot of Chili's [http://forum.planetchili.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1792 original beginner series] launched back in 2012 (ah, the good old days). The way that Direct3D applications are built and the tools used have changed over the last 5 or so years, and the reboot updates the tutorials to reflect those changes. It also corrects some mistakes that were made, and is reworked to shorten the journey to hardware 3D graphics programming and to introduce object-oriented programming at an earlier stage.

Variable

2017-10-11T01:49:49Z

Thomas:

Variables are like little boxes to store data in and read data from, typically numbers. What's in the box?!

== How to Declare a Variable ==
You declare/create a variable by stating its type and then stating its name: <code>int myVar;</code>. You can also give an initial value for the variable during creation using the assignment operator: <code>int myVar = 69;</code>.

== Variable Names ==
Variables names (the same as any other type of user-defined symbol) can contain any number, letter, and the underscore character.

-They cannot start with a number.

-Case matters (<code>DirtayBoi69</code> is not the same symbol as <code>dirtayboi69</code>).

-It is recommended to not use underscore for the name prefix because some of them are reserved <code>_DirtayBoi69</code>. But you can use them as you will in the middle <code>Dirtay_Boi_69</code>.

= Variable Types =

== Variable Size ==

Everytime you use a variable, it has to be stored in memory. And the size depends of the type you are using.

Variables size can be found by using the sizeof function.

The size of most types are not fixed and may depend of the architecture (32 or 64 bits) but every type is guaranteed to have a minimum size to store the desired value.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp" line="1" >
int main()
{
std::cout << sizeof(int);
};
</syntaxhighlight>
As an example, a variable of type int will occupy 4 bytes of memory, but not always as said before.
So the console will usually output 4 for this code.
In the next paragraphs we are talking about the average size and those numbers are valid for most computers. But don't assume they will always be the same.

=== Integral types ===
Integral types are variables that store integers. There are signed and unsigned versions of each integral type and the built-in or simple types are char, short, int/long, and long long/uint64_t. Generally, for the signed versions, you do not have to specify signed, but for unsigned versions; unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long long, you do have to specify. Unsigned integrals are integers that don't have negative numbers, they go from 0 to double + 1 their signed counterparts in the positive direction.

As an example, signed char goes from -128 to 127 whereas unsigned char goes from 0 to 255.
=== char ===
<code>char</code> variables store an integer ranging from -128 to 127. They occupy 1 byte of memory and are most commonly used for narrow text/string manipulation.
=== short===
<code>short</code> variables store an integer ranging from -32768 to 32767. They usually occupy 2 bytes of memory. An alias for short is wchar_t and is used for wide character text and strings used to extend support for languages with more characters than the char range can handle.
=== long long ===
<code>long long</code> variables store an integer ranging from –9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. They usually occupy 8 bytes in memory. The type long long can also be referred to as int64_t because it is 64 bits long.
=== int ===
<code>int</code> variables store an integer (non-fractional number) ranging from -2147483648 to 2147483647. They usually occupy 4 bytes of memory.
=== bool ===
<code>bool</code> variables store a Boolean logic value (true or false). They usually occupy 1 bytes of memory. The <code>bool</code> type is used to control the operation of flow control statements, such as the <code>if</code> statement.

== The const Specifier ==
Main article: [[const]]

You can specify that a variable's value cannot be changed by declaring it like this: <code>const int blazeItFgt = 420;</code>. Doing so can protect your code from unintentional bugs and is generally considered a fucking good practice called 'const correctness'. Note that when you declare a variable as <code>const</code>, you need to initialize it during creation because you cannot assign to it afterwards.

Welcome to Chilipedia!
This is Chilipedia. You can do anything at Chilipedia, anything at all. The only limit is yourself. The infinite is possible at Chilipedia. The unattainable is [http://zombo.com unknown] at Chilipedia. Welcome to Chilipedia.
If this is your first time at Chilipedia, might I recommend the [[Beginner C++ Game Programming Series]] page, it is ''especially'' derpy and unprofessional today. If you're looking for something a little spicier, check out the [[Intermediate C++ Game Programming Series]], or for something with a little more depth, check out the [[3D Fundamentals Series]]. Or you can always order à la carte from among our [[Special:AllPages|extensive selection of pure garbage]].
For all other things that are Chili-related, check out the [http://www.planetchili.net Planet Chili Nexus].

Also if you are a patreon, i have some stuff for you on the [http://wiki.planetchili.net/index.php?title=Patreon_Exclusive_Content Patreon Exclusive Content] page.

Patreon Exclusive Content

2017-09-21T05:04:46Z

Thomas:

Patrons of Planet Chili have access to exclusive content produced in appreciation of your support. These videos are unlocked by using the Chili Bucks that you receive for your pledges (every $1 pledged earns one Chili Buck). There are also about 1.5 ~ 2 bonus videos per month that are automatically unlocked for active patrons (Chili Bucks can be spent to unlock back issues of these videos).

These videos are less produced and scripted than the main tutorial series. They generally take the form of candid views into Chili messing with stuff he is interested in, rather than detailed tutorials. The main reason for this is time constraints: if the Patreon content were as work-intensive as the mainline stuff, the tutorials would crawl to a stop, and that would run counter to the spirit of this Patreon.

== SlideFucker 3000 ==
In this series Chili endeavors to create an AI agent in C++ that can solve a classic puzzle game (8/15/24 sliding puzzle). This agent will not only solve the base problem, but will also be able to use computer vision to read the puzzle state from the screen (with [http://opencv.org OpenCV]), and use input automation to enter the solution into the game (with AutoIt). There will be no reversing/process manipulation involved; the agent will be required interact with the game just as a human user would.

== ASM and Chill with Chili ==
This series features Chili messing around x86 assembly programming while thinking out loud and giving various narrations and sporadic explanations. We will start off with 16-bit DOS assembly under TASM/DOSBox, and then perhaps move onto some supervisor mode (operating systems programming) stuff under MASM 32-bit x86 or x64 via VirtualBox.

This is not a full-fledged hold-your-dick-and-wipe-your-ass tutorial series like the Beginner C++ stuff, but there are explanations given along the way and some links to useful material. Any questions you have can be answered by asking on the forum or the Discord.

We then mess with some looping and counting, defining some global data and getting pointers (offsets), and then we go all the way in and do some real calculations, fucking shit up real good along the way. But debug.exe has got our back, and we squash the bugs while also showing you guys the machine code being executed instruction by instruction by the CPU, and how it affects the state of the registers and RAM.

Patreon Exclusive Content

Thomas:

Patrons of Planet Chili have access to exclusive content produced in appreciation of your support. These videos are unlocked by using the Chili Bucks that you receive for your pledges (every $1 pledged earns one Chili Buck). There are also about 1.5 ~ 2 bonus videos per month that are automatically unlocked for active patrons (Chili Bucks can be spent to unlock back issues of these videos).

These videos are less produced and scripted than the main tutorial series. They generally take the form of candid views into Chili messing with stuff he is interested in, rather than detailed tutorials. The main reason for this is time constraints: if the Patreon content were as work-intensive as the mainline stuff, the tutorials would crawl to a stop, and that would run counter to the spirit of this Patreon.

== SlideFucker 3000 ==
In this series Chili endeavors to create an AI agent in C++ that can solve a classic puzzle game (8/15/24 sliding puzzle). This agent will not only solve the base problem, but will also be able to use computer vision to read the puzzle state from the screen (with OpenCV), and use input automation to enter the solution into the game (with AutoIt). There will be no reversing/process manipulation involved; the agent will be required interact with the game just as a human user would.

In this video we implement the animation of the first person mesh using the state machine animation system. State machines are dope shit.

The idea is to create a simple rolling ball game where you have to collect a number of items. Ball is moved by applying forces, causing it to roll. The camera is stabilized using sockets and the spring arm component. We also deal with handling overlap events between actors and communication between actors. It's good shit.

== ASM and Chill with Chili ==
This series features Chili messing around x86 assembly programming while thinking out loud and giving various narrations and sporadic explanations. We will start off with 16-bit DOS assembly under TASM/DOSBox, and then perhaps move onto some supervisor mode (operating systems programming) stuff under MASM 32-bit x86 or x64 via VirtualBox.

This is not a full-fledged hold-your-dick-and-wipe-your-ass tutorial series like the Beginner C++ stuff, but there are explanations given along the way and some links to useful material. Any questions you have can be answered by asking on the forum or the Discord.

| style="border:1px solid grey;padding:8px;" colspan="6" | In this video Chili reacquaints himself with TASM and x86 assembly, going over the basics of setting up a .asm source file, and calling some system services (BIOS int 10h, int 16h, DOS int 21h). We then mess with some looping and counting, defining some global data and getting pointers (offsets), and then we go all the way in and do some real calculations, fucking shit up real good along the way. But debug.exe has got our back, and we squash the bugs while also showing you guys the machine code being executed instruction by instruction by the CPU, and how it affects the state of the registers and RAM.

Also, <code>rep stosw</code> is pretty cool.
