Udemy - C++ Gamedev course for beginners - Your first big C++ game!

Beginner to Intermediate C++ game developers: Do you want to make your first big C++ game from scratch?

I've got the best way for you to level up your C++ gamedev programming journey! By making your first big C++ game! And I will guide you step by step. You'll also get 50+ challenges to do on your own. We will build a Terraria-like game together! This kind of game is easy to start. But has lots of extra systems you can add later. They go from easy to hard. So you won't run out of challenges!

Have you ever wondered why some people learn faster than others? It's not because they are smarter. They just practiced more, with challenges that get harder and harder. This course is built around that kind of practice.

Back when I was in high school and new to C++, I couldn't wait to make my first big C++ game. But I got stuck on boring stuff like how to draw something on the screen, which library to use, and how to link it. I spent so much time fixing linking errors. Then I had to do it all over again once I realized I had done something wrong. And where should I start? What if the project gets messy and hard to maintain? What if I have to start over?

I did get past all these problems, but I never forgot the struggle. This course is what younger me would have needed. A lot of courses show you how to link libraries step by step. But you only waste time copying their steps, without really understanding what they do. And the same thing can happen with the game. You end up with a working project, but you can't make it again on your own.
