Coding a Graphical User Interface from scratch in C

In this new self-contained project we'll be coding our own Windows system! We'll write a 2D graphics engine, we'll design a GUI and then we'll use our library to show real windows on the screen, control them with the mouse etc.

This project will run in a virtualized environment (easy to set up, I will show you) so the code runs equally well on top of Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

PLEASE NOTE: You need to know the basics of C to follow along this project, but nothing else. We'll use additional components but that's 5% and you can just copy that stuff if you'd like. The code is freely available at the repo (watch below) and it will stay there for 4 days as usual.

Let us get going :)

This is the Graphics programming stuff that I've been searching for so long

[mohamemdtalbi]

rarely do we find someone who is interested in creating a graphical interface in C, often the tutorials talk about consoles, then they use C# or Javafx to create a graphical interface, you are truly a legend in C Dr Jonas and one of the best youtubers who gives the honey of programming in C

[Aparna_Gaur]

Thanks a lot sir! Will be forever grateful for these great videos :)

Never thought coding a GUI would result in such a dramatic presentation, high level production and fireworks...

[Shubh-dlio]

I m awestruck, now bcoz of this i will get answers to some of questions, like how these graphic things work, thanks prof

[ADARSHYODHA]

I had coded 3d engine from scratch, just out of curiosity. Happy to see I am not alone. 😂😂

[CodeLangtonsEntropy]

Exteremely interesting content, this is very awesome and cool, thank you Doctor :)

[zubiarfan]

Never expected something like this but let‘s go 😂

Thank you!!! 😂 Oh my god, nostalgy 😂😂, I did that things in 12 years, in pure assembly under MS-DOS with tasm compiler.

Who need this in nowadays ? 😊

Show people how to write simple MS-DOS virus 😂😂😂 they will be shocked 😂😂 21 byte COM virus 😂😂

[monkeyman]

Yey! Im excited! Wait..I dont know how to code😂

[SomeOne-mwzl]

thank zou veerz much! veerz inteereesting conteent!
