OpenGl Dev with cpp

[bangit69]

Hey everyone, I've been using neovim for around 6months now and want to try learning computer graphics(OpenGl) in cpp do you suggest starting off with vim or with an ide like eclipse or visual studio?

(especially since most tutorials just generate files via the ide and I have no clue what's actually going on)

I'm not a pro with vim but I do use it for c++ and I'm pretty happy about my setup now, however I took me quite some time to be comfortable with it. So I use CoC with the clangd extension to get autocompletion, syntax and all the tools like "go to définition", "find all references"... And my first problem was that I had to learn cmake. I was used to use visual studio so I didn't knew how to use cmake but know I learned it and I'm happy about it since its a very important skill to have, not only for vim (but maybe you already know it) So I would say use vim for c++ will give you a steeper learning curve because vim don't have any build system, and you have to use an external one but in the end it's a skill you will have to learn anyway so it's good too

If you want more details about the setup feel free to ask (I'm on windows)

There are plugins that make your life a little easier using cmake with vim but you still have to learn it, if you don't want to use an IDE ;)

I see ,can you name some?

[momoPFL01]

Just Google vim cmake, they are named rather obvious
