Whenever I try to use the following line from Casey's code I get multiple compile errors:
When defining:
the compiler complains about type of the string not being wide unless prefixed with L. RegisterClassA(&WindowClass) is also refused due to type incompatibility with WNDCLASS.
Redefining WNDCLASS as WNDCLASSA allows it to compile but the window title is using Chinese characters?
1 | WNDCLASS WindowClass = {};
|
When defining:
1 | WindowClass.lpszClassName = "GameWindowClass"; |
Redefining WNDCLASS as WNDCLASSA allows it to compile but the window title is using Chinese characters?

WindowClass.style = CS_HREDRAW|CS_VREDRAW|CS_OWNDC;
WindowClass.lpfnWndProc = Win32MainWindowCallback;
WindowClass.hInstance = Instance;
//WindowClass.hIcon;
WindowClass.lpszClassName = "GameWindowClass";
if(RegisterClassA(&WindowClass))
{
HWND Window =
CreateWindowExA(

WindowClass.lpszClassName,
"Game",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,

}

Reason: Initial post
Are you using Visual Studio project to compile not build.bat? If so then go to project settings and "Character Set" to "Not Set" (or "Use Multi-Byte Character Set"). Then windows headers will automatically use A functions and types.
Otherwise you need to change all Windows API functions and types to have A suffix in cases where they are either A or W.
When default VS project is created it is using "Unicode Character Set", but Casey's build.bat file expects it to not be set, that's why code for him compiles.
