Ever wondered how are games programmed?
In this tutorial series, I will teach you how to make a game in C++.
Hopefully, you will learn the fundamentals of game programming and be able to make your own games by the end!

This series is beginner friendly, and I'll take a step by step approach, to make sure everyone can follow along. (But basic programming skills are recommended).

In this first lesson, I explain how games are programmed and structured. This basic understanding will be super important when we start writing the code. We'll also download a compiler (Microsoft Visual C++) and make a simple "Hello World" program in Visual Studio, to make sure everything is ready to start developing the game!

I hope you enjoy programming this game as well!
