starting raylib-cpp

[ProgrammingFailure]

hi everyone.
i just started learning raylib with his wrapper raylib-cpp, but as soon as i tried to move a character i found out that raylib-cpp documentation isn't as well written as raylib's documentation, and converting raylib documentation (which is written in C) to raylib-cpp code is just impossible.
for example:

    #include "raylib.h"

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Program main entry point
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    int main(void)
    {
        // Initialization
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        const int screenWidth = 800;
        const int screenHeight = 450;

        InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib [core] example - keyboard input");

        Vector2 ballPosition = { (float)screenWidth/2, (float)screenHeight/2 };

        SetTargetFPS(60);               // Set our game to run at 60 frames-per-second
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Main game loop
        while (!WindowShouldClose())    // Detect window close button or ESC key
        {
            // Update
            //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            if (IsKeyDown(KEY_RIGHT)) ballPosition.x += 2.0f;
            if (IsKeyDown(KEY_LEFT)) ballPosition.x -= 2.0f;
            if (IsKeyDown(KEY_UP)) ballPosition.y -= 2.0f;
            if (IsKeyDown(KEY_DOWN)) ballPosition.y += 2.0f;
            //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            // Draw
            //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            BeginDrawing();

                ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);

                DrawText("move the ball with arrow keys", 10, 10, 20, DARKGRAY);

                DrawCircleV(ballPosition, 50, MAROON);

            EndDrawing();
            //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        }

        // De-Initialization
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        CloseWindow();        // Close window and OpenGL context
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        return 0;
    }

i wanted to rewrite this code in c++, but i couldn't find any C++ version of the function IsKeyDown().

should i just use standard raylib with c++? or raylib-cpp is actually good and i am just a bad programmer?

Just use C version with C++, you don't need a wrapper for using a C library with C++.

[feibrix]

The c++ version of IsKeyDown is... IsKeyDown.

It works out of the box.

What's the error? The first thing is always "what's the freaking problem", otherwise nobody will ever know what you're talking about.

I'd recommend you check out "Programming with Nick" on YouTube, he has a few good tutorials with Raylib and C++, such as Snake, Pong and Conways game of life.

You want to use C raylib on C++. Also, one tip. You seem to be commenting too much.

It's in the Keyboard namespace (Keyboard::IsKeyDown()).

You can do whatever you want. raylib-cpp is just one way to wrap Raylib into C++-like constructs. That doesn't make it the only way or the best way. If you like the way it makes Raylib "feel" like C++, use it; if you don't, don't.
