C++ Fundamentals: Dapper Dasher not running properly

Other Courses Ask
#1

I recently started the C++ Fundamentals course, currently on section 3, Dapper Dasher. When I try to debug the program, as instructed in the videos, the window opens but it is stuck buffering. Here is my code.

#include “raylib.h”

int main()

{

//window dimensions

const int windowWidth {512};

const int windowHeight {380};



//initialize the window

InitWindow(windowWidth, windowHeight, "Dapper-Dasher");

//rectangle dimensions

const int width {50};

const int height {80};

int posY {windowHeight - height};

int velocity {0};



SetTargetFPS (60);

while (!WindowShouldClose());

{

    //begin drawing

    BeginDrawing();

    ClearBackground(WHITE);

   

    IsKeyPressed (KEY_SPACE);

    {

        velocity -= 10;

    }

   

    posY += velocity;

    DrawRectangle  (windowWidth/2, posY, width, height, BLUE);

    //end drawing

    EndDrawing();

}

CloseWindow();

}

Here is the text from the debug console:

Additionally, vsc notes this issue with my code, but I don’t know how to resolve it:

this ‘while’ clause does not guard… [-Wmisleading-indentation]

Hi, welcome to the community!

Remove the “;” in here. The “;” makes an empty statement that becomes the body of your while loop, and so the while loop only repeats this empty statement forever. Your execution never reaches the code block that you intended to be repeated, starting with the “{” below the “while”.

Thanks very much!
