Course Description

Learn C++ game development is a course I made for everyone who knows how to program, but doesn't know where to start with game development. The course teaches you how to use the SFML library for C++, to start working with graphics, events and sound to create a 2D game. Everything is done step by step with the help of videos, so it's easy to follow along and learn. At the end of the course you will know what you need for game programming and will be able to start making your own games.
Warning: This course was published more than 2 years ago and the technology used in it progresses fast. The current most updated version of SFML (2.1) doesn't work out of the box with Visual Studio 2013 (or the express editions) and it requires more work to setup. If you want to follow this course easily, then you should use the 2012 or older version of Visual Studio (or the express edition) which can still be officially downloaded from Microsoft site.

Yes, Great, Thank you. It was amazing

By Chaitanya Kochhar on 9/2/2020

Out of date, boring, and doesn't touch on anything special for C++. No memory management, pointers, and topics inherent to why C++ is popular. You could just as easily learn these concepts from free YouTube videos.

By Andreas Brckner on 8/27/2020

Good course so far. I think I am going where I want to, but the teacher should talk more clearly and take breaks to allow catching up with typing etc

I followed every single step and also came out with the expected output, without retry

By Peter O'Neal on 7/11/2020

Works so far, quick which is great since I don't feel like I have to skip ahead and I'd rather pause and catch up then be like jesus this person is slow.

I have learnt quite a lot and am very grateful however I did have to do a lot of my own research and help from other websites for certain topics in which not enough information was given. For example this is not the latest VS and SFML. Also had some trouble following certain things with no apparent method of communication. Overall, very educational.

Excellent C++-centric game design course so far. I've completed the updated lessons and I am starting on the Pong game (lessons 7 & 8). Great stuff.

Audible voice, great step by step tutoring, it is just that he is using an old version. I wish he could update

This is a free course and why should I complain about it. I absolutely loved the course because this course helped me to get started with C++ game development. Now I can continue my learning. Thanks a lot.
