Ever wondered how games are 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 tutorial, we create the gameplay for our Pong game! We start off by adding the elements like the players, the ball and the arena and then we take a deep dive into movement, so we can get our game to feel great! We also learn about collision detection in games and implement the ball! The base gameplay is done! Next time, we'll add a score system and an enemy AI!
If you have any questions, be sure to comment below!
I hope you enjoy programming this game as well!
