C++ for Games

Being literate in programming is an increasingly important skill to have. Programming languages like Python, Rust, C, and C++ are used in many different industries including research, finance, artificial intelligence, data science, and video games. It's not sufficient to know how to program in just one language, but how to solve programming problems at a higher level.

By learning the fundamentals of C++ through a game programmer's perspective, you will not only be learning how to tackle complex programming problems, you'll have fun doing it!

During this course, you will learn how to program in C++. This course does not assume that you have any prior programming experience. The course covers the fundamentals of C++ programming and by the end of the course, you will be able to create a simple 2D game written in C++.

 The course covers the following topics:

• Fundamentals of C++ (data types, conditions & loops, functions, classes)
• The Standard Template Library (containers, algorithms, ranges, views)
• Math for games (vectors, matrices, curves, 2D physics)
• Game Design Patterns (simple, reusable components)

If you finish this course successfully, you will receive an Edubadge, a recognised digital certificate. This microcredential will be provided at NLQF level 6.
