What you’ll learn
- Understand the fundamentals of C++23
- Understand Object-Oriented Programming principals
- Use an Interface Development Environment (IDE) to develop a C++ project
- Create a 2D game in C++ that demonstrates quality and complexity
- Integrate 3rd party libraries into a C++ project
- Analyze and compare different approaches to solving complex programming problems
Welcome to the C++23 for Games Programming course. This course is designed to teach you how to program in C++ by making a simple 2D game from scratch. Whether you are a just starting out in higher education or a “lifelong learner”, this course will give you the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective C++ programmer.
Being literate in programming is an increasingly important skill to have. Programming languages like Python, Rust, C, and C++ are used in many different industries including research, finance, artificial intelligence, data science, and video games. This course aims to teach you how to solve programming problems at a higher level. By learning the fundamentals of C++ through a game programmer’s perspective, you will not only be learning how to tackle complex programming problems, but you’ll also have fun doing it!
This course does not assume that you have any prior programming experience. The course covers the fundamentals of C++ programming and by the end of the course, you will be able to create a simple 2D game written in C++.
You will be using GitHub to keep your work for your programming assignments. GitHub not only allows you to safely store your precious source code in the cloud, but also to start a professional programming portfolio that may eventually be used to find your dream job.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intended to prepare students for following a University-level C++ programming course.
- If you would like to make you own games, but lack the required programming experience.
