Did you know?C++ library openFrameworks is widely used in teaching art & designIncl. prestigious schools like Parsons School for DesignC++ creative coding library Cinder awarded ad industrys highest honorJune 2013: Cannes Lions Festival, Innovation Grand PrixC++ app Planetary acquired by SmithsonianAugust 2013: The museums first-ever curation/preservation of codeLets dive inAcquisitionPlaying with Cinder and Box2dLeveraging VS 2013 to make it easy to understand the code and experiment

Disclaimer! Im no DX expert, nor Cinder expert! Just a dude exploring the fringe to understand more!Well jump around a little! Bear with me15What did we seeGrab Cinder for Windows Store from githubCompile and look at one sampleSimplified the code and made it reusableCreated a new project, added pen supportLooked into Box2D sampleHooked up Box2D and Cinder via a simple sandbox lib (from the Cinder community)Github integration in VSAssets preview, class view in solution explorer, Peek DefinitionExtension SDKs, project templatesPDB-based projectInspired?Go write some cool demo! And experiment!16Whats Your Adventure in C++?All the C++ code in the worldThe boundary, or fringe?for the advertisement campaign for the next soccer worl cup17Questions?Anything you need to know/ask/rant/rave about VC++ and VS
