Learn C++ by designing a game
Develop a game using one of the most versatile languages in programming history. This approach in learning C++ helps you bridge the gap between understanding the basics and writing a complex program.
Course Introduction:
C++ is a general purpose programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at At&T Bell Labs. It adds many new features to the C language, and is perhaps best thought of as a superset of C. Not many know that in addition to software development, C++ is also used in gaming and in particular, to build console video games. You can use graphics, sounds and events to develop simple 2D games by using C++. This course will bridge the gap between learning the basics and designing a game, ‘Snakes and Ladders’.
Course Objectives:
As simulating a board game is an effective way to understand the basics and start writing your own programs, this method of teaching has been adapted. By the end of this you will be able to:
- Learn how to install and work with Dev-C++
- Learn the basics of programming and C++ by building small modules
- Learn to optimize your programs
- Write a complex program to build the ‘Snakes and Ladders’ game
Pre-requisites and Target Audience:
- Learners who are new to programming and want to get started with a more hands-on approach.
- Learners who know the basics of C++ and want to apply their knowledge to build a simple game.
