Build Real Games with C++-From Core Concepts to Complete Projects
Whether you're an aspiring indie developer, a student breaking into game development, or a professional looking to sharpen your C++ game dev skills, this book gives you the practical knowledge, modern techniques, and hands-on experience to build real 2D and 3D games-step by step. Written by an experienced game developer and educator, Game Programming with Modern C++ bridges the gap between theory and practice. It's packed with well-structured tutorials, real-world examples, and production-minded patterns drawn from years of real development experience.
About the Technology:
C++ is the language behind most high-performance game engines-and mastering it can unlock the power to create fast, scalable, and feature-rich games. Using modern C++ (C++17 and beyond), SDL2, OpenGL, and Box2D, this book teaches how to build custom engines, physics systems, UI, ECS architectures, and more-without relying on drag-and-drop engines.
What's Inside:
- Build your own Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture from scratch
- Implement 2D platformers and prototype 3D games using OpenGL
- Add realistic physics using Box2D and optimize with spatial partitioning
- Create responsive UI, sound systems, menus, and input abstractions
- Learn to debug, profile, multithread, and polish your game for distribution
- Step-by-step projects to apply everything you've learned
- Appendices with cheatsheets, code templates, tools, and advanced resources
Who This Book is For:
This book is ideal for C++ developers, computer science students, and game programming enthusiasts who want to build complete, performant games without relying on heavy engines like Unity or Unreal.
