So I tried to make an OpenGL project with GLFW and glad in visual studio code, but it would throw and error when I would compile and run the program.
I tried to make 3 triangles in a window, it worked so I tried organizing the VBO, VAO, EBO, shaderProgram, vertexShaderSource, and fragmentShaderSource into individual files, and compiled and ran it, I expected the usual result but would give me a window that is not responding, then it would terminate and give out an error. I'm not sure witch of the files are causing this, but my guess is the main.cpp file:
#include"header/shaderClass.h"
#include"header/VAO.h"
#include"header/VBO.h"
#include"header/EBO.h"
//some vertex and indices arrays here
int main()
{
// Initialize GLFW
glfwInit();
// Tell GLFW what version of OpenGL we are using
// In this case we are using OpenGL 3.3
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
// Tell GLFW we are using the CORE profile
// So that means we only have the modern functions
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
// Create a GLFWwindow object of 800 by 800 pixels, naming it "YoutubeOpenGL"
GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(800, 800, "YoutubeOpenGL", NULL, NULL);
// Error check if the window fails to create
if (window == NULL)
{
std::cout << "Failed to create GLFW window" << std::endl;
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
// Introduce the window into the current context
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
//Load GLAD so it configures OpenGL
gladLoadGL();
// Specify the viewport of OpenGL in the Window
// In this case the viewport goes from x = 0, y = 0, to x = 800, y = 800
glViewport(0, 0, 800, 800);
// Generates Shader object using shaders defualt.vert and default.frag
Shader shaderProgram("default.vert", "default.frag");
// Generates Vertex Array Object and binds it
VAO VAO1;
VAO1.Bind();
// Generates Vertex Buffer Object and links it to vertices
VBO VBO1(vertices, sizeof(vertices));
// Generates Element Buffer Object and links it to indices
EBO EBO1(indices, sizeof(indices));
// Links VBO to VAO
VAO1.LinkVBO(VBO1, 0);
// Unbind all to prevent accidentally modifying them
VAO1.Unbind();
VBO1.Unbind();
EBO1.Unbind();
// Main while loop
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
// Specify the color of the background
glClearColor(0.07f, 0.13f, 0.17f, 1.0f);
// Clean the back buffer and assign the new color to it
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// Tell OpenGL which Shader Program we want to use
shaderProgram.Activate();
// Bind the VAO so OpenGL knows to use it
VAO1.Bind();
// Draw primitives, number of indices, datatype of indices, index of indices
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 9, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);
// Swap the back buffer with the front buffer
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
// Take care of all GLFW events
glfwPollEvents();
}
// Delete all the objects we've created
VAO1.Delete();
VBO1.Delete();
EBO1.Delete();
shaderProgram.Delete();
// Delete window before ending the program
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
// Terminate GLFW before ending the program
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
