    createWindow(640, 640, "Easy Example");

    // Loop until the user closes the window
    while (isWindowOpen()) {
        updateBackgroundColor(BLACK);

        drawRectangle(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, RED);

    }

    closeWindow();

MacOS

How to use in MacOS

If you are using a Mac, you have to use the same files that we have given u, but changing de "libglfw3.a" in the "lib" folder instaling the GLFW Mac's version here and changing the "libglfw3.a" to the current project instead of the others files in "lib", this way, you must play the game if you follow the next steps in "Terminal":

Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install glfw

brew install glfw

Go to the "GLFWrapper" folder using "cd file_x" and use this command:

gcc pong.c -o programa \
  -I/opt/homebrew/include \
  -L/opt/homebrew/lib \
  -lglfw \
  -framework OpenGL -framework Cocoa -framework IOKit -framework CoreVideo \
  -DGL_SILENCE_DEPRECATION

After that, just type the next executable and you would be able to play it:

./programa

Linux

Install glfw

On terminal type:

sudo apt install xorg-dev
sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev

Once you have downloaded the files, proceed to compile and run the program with the following commands.

gcc pong.c -Wall -o a.out -I./include/ -L./lib/ -lglfw3 -lopengl32 -lgdi32

Now you can run the program

./a.out
