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 the lesson number one (which is the second lesson :P ), I explain the first steps to create our game: getting a window up on the screen. By the end, we'll be ready to start drawing graphics to it! :)

I hope you enjoy programming this game as well!
