I would like to write a C program that outputs graphics and sound.
I use DevC++.
How can I do it?

I don't know anything about graphics types. I just want to find any way to put colored points on the screen on the specified coordinates calculated in C. I use windows. Can you tell me more about GDI? Is this a program that I can download? And how can I transfer information between C and GDI? I suppose data calculated in C must be put to a file in a specific format?computerex said:Well, what type of graphics? Aimed at what operating system? In windows, you can use GDI (graphics device interface) to do 2D vector graphics, and also use bitmaps. You might want to use a cross platform graphics library such as OpenGL to do your graphics if you want to port your application to other operating systems.
To use graphics and sound in C, you will need to include the appropriate libraries in your program. For graphics, you can use the graphics.h
library and for sound, you can use the sound.h
library. These libraries can be downloaded online or included in your C compiler.
To draw basic shapes and images, you will need to use the functions provided by the graphics library. These functions include line()
, circle()
, rectangle()
, and image()
. These functions allow you to specify the coordinates, size, and color of the shape or image you want to draw.
To play audio files in your C program, you will need to use the functions provided by the sound library. These functions include play()
, pause()
, and stop()
. You will also need to specify the file name and location of the audio file you want to play.
Yes, you can create animations using graphics and sound in C by using loops and changing the coordinates or properties of your shapes or images. You can also incorporate sound effects or music to enhance your animations.
While using graphics and sound in C can provide basic functionality, there are limitations to what you can achieve compared to using more advanced programming languages or frameworks. For example, creating advanced graphics or playing high-quality audio may not be possible using only the basic libraries in C. It is important to understand the capabilities and limitations of your chosen programming language before starting a project.
