The Nature of Code (2024 Edition): Code Examples in C++ (openFrameworks)

This repository is a collection of C++ (openFrameworks) code examples for Daniel Shiffman's book the Nature of Code (2024 Edition), ported from his original code examples written in JavaScript (p5.js).

How do I run these examples?

1. Download openFrameworks v0.12.0 for your desired platform (e.g. osx for macOS) from the openFrameworks download page and unzip it. You should see a folder titled of_v0.12.0_platform_release/ (e.g. of_v0.12.0_osx_release/ for macOS).

2. Download this repository, unzip it, and place the extracted folder (nature-of-code-2024-openframeworks-main/) into the of_v0.12.0_platform_release/apps/ folder.

3. Launch the projectGenerator app located in the of_v0.12.0_platform_release/projectGenerator/ folder. Click the gear icon ⚙️ and check Advanced options.

4. In the projectGenerator app, go to the update multiple tab. Under Update path, click the magnifying glass icon 🔍 and open the repository folder (nature-of-code-2024-openframeworks-main/) from there, then Click the Update multiple button.

5. Finally, open any code example (e.g. Example_0_1_Random_Walk/) in your preferred IDE to compile and run.

For additional guides, you can refer to the openFrameworks learning page.
