Course Description
Welcome to "Intro to C++ Game Programming," an extensive course designed to guide you through the exciting world of game development using C++. Spanning a comprehensive 29 hours and 24 minutes, this course provides an in-depth exploration of the essential concepts and tools needed to become proficient in game programming.
In this course, we start with a detailed introduction, setting the stage for what you can expect to achieve by the end of your journey. Following this, we delve into the fundamentals of C++, divided into two thorough lectures. The foundational knowledge gained here is crucial for understanding the more complex topics that follow.
We then transition into practical applications with assignments and specific projects using the SFML library. These hands-on sessions are designed to cement your understanding and provide you with real-world coding experience. You will also be introduced to the Entity Component System (ECS) architecture, a pivotal design pattern in modern game development.
As we progress, we'll tackle essential game development topics such as Entity Management, 2D Game Math, and Collision Detection, ensuring you can manage game objects and interactions effectively. The course includes detailed lectures on working with Textures, implementing Actions, and enhancing game visuals and performance.
Assignments are strategically placed throughout the course to challenge your understanding and application of the topics covered. We also explore advanced concepts like Ray Casting, Line Segment Intersection, Pathfinding, and Steering, which are critical for developing sophisticated game mechanics.
Further along, the course addresses management aspects such as Saving Progress and utilizing Game Tools. We'll also examine the nuances of creating efficient game loops and optimizing performance through Cache Coherency and Memory Pooling. Profiling your code using C++ Visual Code Profiling ensures you can identify and improve performance bottlenecks.
The course concludes with a focus on advanced graphics programming. You'll learn about Shaders, Particle Systems, and Vertex Arrays, essential for creating visually stunning and performant games. Each lecture builds on the previous, incrementally developing your skills and confidence.
