Talk:Introduction - 'Hello World'

From C4 Engine Wiki

Might be helpful to note that the project (DLL) you create (see "Part 1 - Setting up the IDE") should be an empty project (DLL). At least this is true if you are using VC++ 2005 Express Edition.

Order of steps in tutorial

Visual Studio has an annoying problem with their project properties settings. When you create an empty project, even though it is a Win32 Console Application and it's in Visual C++, the project properties page will not have the C++ tab until you add C++ files to the project.

So, I switched the order of the tutorial to help people avoid running into this problem. Now, they create MyGame.h and MyGame.cpp first. In the next step, when they edit the project properties the C++ tab will be there.

Errors

Isn't the second paragraph under the code for MyGame.cpp inconsistent with the code? There is no use of Font::Get() in the code, and no mentioning of a "Bold" font. What is the correct, the code or the description? --TwoD 03:11, 20 July 2008 (PDT)
