What is this?
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The olcConsoleGameEngine has been a surprsing and wonderful
|
||||
success for me, and I'm delighted how people have reacted so
|
||||
positively towards it, so thanks for that.
|
||||
|
||||
However, there are limitations that I simply cannot avoid.
|
||||
Firstly, I need to maintain several different versions of
|
||||
it to accommodate users on Windows7, 8, 10, Linux, Mac,
|
||||
Visual Studio & Code::Blocks. Secondly, this year I've been
|
||||
pushing the console to the limits of its graphical capabilities
|
||||
and the effect is becoming underwhelming. The engine itself
|
||||
is not slow at all, but the process that Windows uses to
|
||||
draw the command prompt to the screen is, and worse still,
|
||||
it's dynamic based upon the variation of character colours
|
||||
and glyphs. Sadly I have no control over this, and recent
|
||||
videos that are extremely graphical (for a command prompt :P )
|
||||
have been dipping to unacceptable framerates. As the channel
|
||||
has been popular with aspiring game developers, I'm concerned
|
||||
that the visual appeal of the command prompt is perhaps
|
||||
limited to us oldies, and I dont want to alienate younger
|
||||
learners. Finally, I'd like to demonstrate many more
|
||||
algorithms and image processing that exist in the graphical
|
||||
domain, for which the console is insufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
For this reason, I have created olcPixelGameEngine! The look
|
||||
and feel to the programmer is almost identical, so all of my
|
||||
existing code from the videos is easily portable, and the
|
||||
programmer uses this file in exactly the same way. But I've
|
||||
decided that rather than just build a command prompt emulator,
|
||||
that I would at least harness some modern(ish) portable
|
||||
technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
As a result, the olcPixelGameEngine supports 32-bit colour, is
|
||||
written in a cross-platform style, uses modern(ish) C++
|
||||
conventions and most importantly, renders much much faster. I
|
||||
will use this version when my applications are predominantly
|
||||
graphics based, but use the console version when they are
|
||||
predominantly text based - Don't worry, loads more command
|
||||
prompt silliness to come yet, but evolution is important!!

Well I wont judge you, but make sure your Code::Blocks installation

is really up to date - you may even consider updating your C++ toolchain

to use MinGW32-W64, so google this. You will also need to enable C++14
