Let's Make a Hack n Slash Game with C++ and SDL2 - Video Course
By
Matt Carr
In this course I'll take your intermediate C++ skills, buff them up a little and use them to make a Hack n Slash game using SDL2. You'll be taken through the entire process of making this game and given source code of the project at various checkpoints if you get lost along the way.
We are going to learn basic game dev elements, such as game loop, animations, collisions, player input and AI. I'm also going to boost your skills with Inheritance and Polymorphism to simplify a complex game structure down into a few short bits of game logic.
At the end of the course you'll walk out with game dev experience and a little game you can expand on and even build up to a marketable game.
Let's make a game!
