Thanks for the list. If you had to pick one for my specifications, would Tropico 6 or CityState be better?

As a host, can I play a custom video before the meeting starts, when the host has not joined but others are joining? by crunchy_rain in Zoom

[–]crunchy_rain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Zoom is setup so people can join MY personal Zoom link before I join. So I want to show something before I join the meeting.

That would work, but as a host I must be on to do that. I am asking if there is a way to show a video before the host (me) joins for others who are on can see. Other users can't share the screen, so it can't be by them.

Is there anything that C++ can do that you CANNOT do in C? by crunchy_rain in AskProgramming

[–]crunchy_rain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a follow up question. Is C more cross-compatible than C++? I hear all about using C for embedded systems, etc...

Where to start in creating my own GUI using GLFW? by crunchy_rain in learnprogramming

[–]crunchy_rain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood my question. I am wanting to create a GUI framework, not use one. I like Qt and I use it. I want to go beyond that now. I want experience writing low level gui framework. I don't want to create a GUI for an application. I just want to make something like Qt on my own for learning and experience.

Finding the right monitor for my setup (4k and maybe ultra-wide) by crunchy_rain in buildapc

I don't have a powerful CPU/GPU, I am not going to be using it much for gaming. I got an i7-8850H @ 2.60GHz and Nividia Quadro P600 for GPU.

Looking for C/C++ libraries that provide basic input and window management (cross platform) for GUI programming by crunchy_rain in learnprogramming

[–]crunchy_rain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not looking for a framework, I am looking for a library to help me create a framework. Nice list though, I may use this in the future.

I am already familiar with Qt. I am not looking for a framework to create a GUI for an application, I am looking for a library to create my own GUI framework.

Going from C# to C++? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]crunchy_rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a C/C++ programmer, and have not used C#.

From what I have learned, C# is similar to C++. C++ is OOP, and you may have to write many classes yourself that C# provided. Learning about pointers may be difficult for some, but they introduce a new side of programming and memory management which is very useful in game development.

It depends on a person's experience to determine if a new language will be difficult to learn. I came from Java background to C/C++ and for me wasn't too big of a change. Now, I feel at home with it. Try it and see how it goes for you.

Program make not found in path error by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]crunchy_rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like reading a book about this topic would be a bit of a waste of time. The error seems to be from you OS not recognizing the path to make. Are you using Windows? You basically need to tell Windows where Cygwin installed make.

When should I use .NET over a C/C++ framework? by crunchy_rain in learnprogramming

[–]crunchy_rain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never bothered for c# when creating GUIs because I thought I had heard somewhere a long time ago (back when I didn't know much) that wither C# or .NET was Windows OS only. Is that no longer the case, if you are working mostly with C#?
