With this book, you’ll get a fun introduction to game programming by building five fully playable games of increasing complexity. You’ll learn to build clones of popular games such as Timberman, Pong, a Zombie survival shooter, a coop puzzle platformer and Space Invaders. The book starts by covering the basics of programming. You’ll study key C++ topics, such as object-oriented programming (OOP) and C++ pointers, and get acquainted with the Standard Template Library (STL). The book helps you learn about collision detection techniques and game physics by building a Pong game. As you build games, you’ll also learn exciting game programming concepts such as particle effects, directional sound (spatialization), OpenGL programmable shaders, spawning objects, and much more. Finally, you’ll explore game design patterns to enhance your C++ game programming skills. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to build your own games with exciting features from scratch. What you will learn Set up your game development project in Visual Studio 2019 and explore C++ libraries such as SFML Explore C++ OOP by building a Pong game Understand core game concepts such as game animation, game physics, collision detection, scorekeeping, and game sound Use classes, inheritance, and references to spawn and control thousands of enemies and shoot rapid-fire machine guns Add advanced features to your game using pointers, references, and the STL Scale and reuse your game code by learning modern game programming design patterns Who this book is for This book is perfect for you if you have no C++ programming knowledge, you need a beginner-level refresher course, or you want to learn how to build games or just use games as an engaging way to learn C++. Whether you aspire to publish a game (perhaps on Steam) or just want to impress friends with your creations, you’ll find this book useful.

Review: Its a good way to get back into c++ and SFML is a good framework for learning game development - The book is simple because the author is teaching someone that knows nothing about c++ including basic data structures. However, for this is a perfect approach even for the one who knows this because it gives the student a simple example to make into more refined code. This gives an example but allows one to put their approach to it. I have only gotten a bit into the book. I will update this review when I get closer to the end. Review: Great book, easy to follow - C++ fundamentals are laid out in an easy to read and easy to follow format. Plenty of practice exercises to reinforce the material. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,032,274 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #413 in C++ Programming Language #809 in Game Programming #1,220 in Introductory & Beginning Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 152 Reviews | ## Images ![Beginning C++ Game Programming: Learn to program with C++ by building fun games - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sLEGeQpqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a good way to get back into c++ and SFML is a good framework for learning game development *by R***H on July 26, 2021* The book is simple because the author is teaching someone that knows nothing about c++ including basic data structures.
