Install for Visual Studio 2019

Put the doodle_development folder at the root of your C:\ drive

Put the Directory.Build.props file at the root of all drives that you intend to use for programming with doodle.

Create a new C++ project in Visual Studio and you can start writing code with doodle.

To test you can try the following doodle program:

#include <doodle/doodle.hpp>
using namespace doodle;
int main(void)
{
    create_window(100, 100);
    set_outline_width(3.0);
    Color squareColor{100, 50, 150};
    while (!is_window_closed())
    {
        update_window();
        clear_background(255);
        no_fill();
        set_outline_color(0);
        draw_ellipse(0, 0, 80.0);
        squareColor.alpha = 128 + 128.0 * std::sin(ElapsedTime);
        set_fill_color(squareColor);
        no_outline();
        draw_rectangle(-Width / 2.0 + 13, -Height / 2.0 + 13, Width - 26.0, Height - 26.0);
    }
    return 0;
}

Notable Changes

• added functionality to draw to an image rather than the window
  • Fixed bug where generated image was appearing upside down
  • Anti-Aliasing now turned on by default when drawing to image
• The doodle Image class can now be copied like normal objects.
  • It is more flexible when it is created in a global scope, so debug builds shouldn't see any popups from OpenGL asserts.
  • Got rid of the Image::color type. Now there is only one color type, which is doodle::Color
• lib files should be more forward compatible with future versions of Visual Studio now that we are no longer using the /GL flag (We turned off whole program optimization). See C++ binary compatibility between Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019 for more related info.
• doodle internals no longer use the CS230 namespace name
  • This was causing name conflicts with the current CS230 class code
• Optimized Image loading
• Ask OpenGL implementation for smoother looking lines and polygons
• Image class is more lightweight for the most common case of simply loading an image file and drawing it without modification
