How to run C graphics program in Code::Block

In this post I am going to illustrate the process to run C graphics program in Code::Block. If you want to run C graphics in Dev-C++, you may check out my previous blog post on how to run C graphics program in Dev-C++.

Process:

1) Download the Code::Blocks EDU-Portable Version(CodeBlocks-EP) and Install It.
   (http://codeblocks.codecutter.org/)

2) Create a new project on CodeBlocks-EP
    (File->New->project...-> Select WinBGIm Project Category->Click on Go->Next)

         

3) Then give your project name(say my_first_gproject) and click on Next->Finish

        

4) Add a file(say test_prog.c) to project
   (File->New->Empty FIle->Yes->test_prog.c->Save)

         

         

         

5) Write the following code on first_prog.c:

   #include<stdio.h>

   #include<conio.h>

   #include<graphics.h>

   int main()

   {

       int gMode, gDriver = DETECT;

       initgraph(&gDriver, &gMode, "");

       line(0, getmaxy()/2, getmaxx(),getmaxy()/2);

       line(getmaxx()/2, 0, getmaxx()/2,getmaxy());

       circle(getmaxx()/2, getmaxy()/2, 130);

       getch();

       closegraph();

       return 0;

   }

6) Compile and run program
