I'd like to start developing a strategy game in C++ in some time. I want it to include a big map, complex UI, AI and more. I already started learning raylib and it's pretty fun, but I'm not sure is it the best choice for a big project. I was also thinking about SFML. Should I use one of them or something different?
I searched through game files and the internet but I can't find anything. I'm searching for normal PNGs of these icons.
[Issue is fixed now, thanks to everyone who helped!]
I'm a C++ beginner. I tried installing raylib and there are no errors in the output, but the window is always not responding. What could be the cause? I used the most basic project with just a window with some text.
#include "raylib.h"
int main() {
const int screenWidth = 800;
const int screenHeight = 450;
InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib [core] example - basic window");
SetTargetFPS(60);
while (!WindowShouldClose())
{
BeginDrawing();
ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY);
EndDrawing();
}
CloseWindow();
return 0;
}
