a youtuber that actually takes his time to describe stuff? yes. thanks so much for this video!

[FilipGrujic-]

This is the first time of my LIFE, that I have imported a library into visual studio on the first try! Great video!

I struggled with trying to get a c++ OpenGL project to work, with no success, and this video helped not only to get OpenGL to work, but also in c#, so I don't have to learn c++! Thank you so much!

PS.: I would very much be interested in c# OpenGL tutorials for starters! Thank you!

[jamesb]

I really wanna see more, I love this! You should make a tutorial series!

[Corncycle]

awesome video! I was looking into learning openGL a couple weeks ago and wanted to use C# instead of C++ but the barrier of setting things up put me off just enough to not go through with it; glad I looked again and found this, really looking forward to using learnopengl and seeing the other videos you put out :)

Hey, danc. I really wanted to thank you for this series so far. I've been through hours of linear algebra and openGl tutorials, but I never could wrap my head around how all the matrtix transformations worked until you layed everything out in this series.

I hope you find the time to put in some more episodes.

Very nicely done! A lot less painful than I thought it would be 😆

[setaindustries]

Wow, this actually worked first try for me, and that's super rare!

[jeffreyhicks]

First, I wanted to say thank you for this. Been wanting to get into graphics programming for a while now and wanted to use C# instead of C++, as it is a grumpy old man and in turn makes me grumpy.

fantastisk video, kommer funka bra med mitt projekt

[tndev]

Please continue the series it was really awesome

[TheSecretDev]

I really like this tutorial it is really good for showing you how to give people sishers

[David_Kelly_SF]

Thanks, just what I needed to get started!

[Elikatie]

Works fantastic, exactly as easy to get working as in the video, even with Visual Studio Code. Thanks a lot, I'm an amateur programmer and these kinds of tutorials usually end with me pulling my hair out.

Hi, I have recently tried this on a linux environment and everything worked up until the final error at 7:05. Even though I tried glfw, glfw3 and glfw3.dll none of it worked. Before this it would run fine. Here is the error

Exception thrown: 'System.DllNotFoundException' in projone.dll
Exception thrown: in projone.dll

`Exception has occurred:
An unhandled exception of type occurred in projone.dll: 'The type initializer for 'GLFW.Glfw' threw an exception.'
Inner exceptions found, see $exception in variables window for more details.
Innermost exception System.DllNotFoundException : Unable to load shared library 'glfw' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: libglfw: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
at GLFW.Glfw.Init()
at GLFW.Glfw..cctor() in #1/projone/GLFW/Glfw.cs:line 34`

[PietroSanta]

I've renamed the string to glfw3, but it show me BadImageFormatException (HRESULT: 0x8007000B) :(((

EDIT: The error was that I was using 32-bit build binary from default (idk why)

[МаксимЛавриненко-ьи]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Where I can find documentation for this dotnet library?

[mostlydaniel]

When I go to create my project like you did at 2:25, "Console App (.NET Core)" is not one of the options. I tried to figure it out myself but I got all caught up in the differences between .NET Framework and .NET Core, and I'm not even sure which version I have. How do I get the same project type you used?

[ekimyukselbaba]

Thank you so much for creating this video!

[KingProductions..]

Looks pretty nice i think i will try This out!
