Hmm, the no error messages thing is a bit odd. How are you running the program? I’ll upload a version with the (very) verbose debug console, which should print out any issues during launch.
I just tried the program on my own VM and it launched right up - but that’s not saying much because it’s been used for development and might have some DLLs I’m not thinking of..
I tried launching via the Windows Explorer (nothing happened) and via CMD and PowerShell (which hung for a few seconds, then returned me to the command prompt.) It's fully possible that this is a problem with the specific VM I was using though (VirtualBox, Linux host, Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation ISO you can get from Microsoft as guest)
OK, I’ve uploaded a “DNMMPDSMN_console.zip”. The console will vanish on exit if you don’t run it from a console, and the game has to be run from it’s own directory to work. It should spit out any issues with the windowing system or OpenGL.
For reference, I used a Hyper-V VM, which may have made the difference.
Updated. It’ll now spit out whatever GLFW provides as the error - hopefully it’s something that makes sense. It gets past initializing GLFW, but fails during window creation… I’m betting on it being something with the OpenGL version, but the game doesn’t require any particular version during window and GL context creation, so I’m at a bit of a loss.
Thanks for the input thusfar!
Hey there! I was able to run it with the new DLL. Though now Windows Defender is complaining as well, so I wouldn't be comfortable running it outside a VM, haha.
Sorry about making you do so much extra debugging! I do think you have a cool basis for a platformer here, the level generation is fun and I like the look of the main character.
