I want to let you know that you are maybe the 10th tutorial I have worked through in the last week to get sfml working on my copy of visual studio, and you are the first one that has not given me an error. I wish I could give you two thumbs up.

[Wolsfen]

Thank you Victor. I have a project in Uni in which I have to use SFML and as a complete newbie into it, this was very helpful. I appreciate it a lot 💯

[DaComAK]

First of all thank so much. Spent countless hours today trying to figure this out. The SFML website documentation does a shitty job at explaining this through for a beginner. I did get an error with this video but that's because my config. manager was set to x64 so I changed it to x86. Tip for beginners. Make sure you close VS when adding bin files to the directory otherwise they get ignored.

New been this happy to see a circle on my screen lol

I went through a few different tutorials and yours is the only one that finally helped, thank you!

Man wish you’d continue your OpenGL + c++, your tutorials were quite different and easy to follow. Anyway good vid <3

[hiddenamericachannel]

You’re a gentleman and a scholar don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise. But here’s my question: do I have to do this for every project I make? But if I got the orange circle I’m set up to make something right?

[CJS-jsmw]

If you get maybe 18 errors like I did, then change the debug config from x64 or whatever to x86! Works after that! Thanks to Illya Tkachov for first shouting this out!

[omarashraf]

So you won't make more about SFML?

[noot]

Wow will using opengl with sfml be taught in this series to actually have 3d graphics in sfml later on?

[KesoDev]

i have an error that says cannot open file kernel32.lib but there is no file called kernel32.lib

[theparallax]

Thanks for the nice video. Can you please make a tutorial series about the Vulkan API?

[Joe-rpxn]

Awesome. I've never heard of this before but apparently it's good to use with Opengl?

[nimcompoo]

can i ask you one thing? do you like visual studio or do you use it because its the best option. 😃 (this is genuine question 😂)
