Rewriting a simple Pygame 2D drawing function in C++
- by Dominic Bou-Samra
I have a 2D list of vectors (say 20x20 / 400 points) and I am drawing these points on a screen like so:
for row in grid:
for point in row:
pygame.draw.circle(window, white, (particle.x, particle.y), 2, 0)
pygame.display.flip() #redraw the screen
This works perfectly, however it's much slower then I expected.
I want to rewrite this in C++ and hopefully learn some stuff (I am doing a unit on C++ atm, so it'll help) on the way. What's the easiest way to approach this? I have looked at Direct X, and have so far followed a bunch of tutorials and have drawn some rudimentary triangles. However I can't find a simple (draw point).
