Hi Sir, I am 20 years old BS CS student from Pakistan. Our university doesn't provide a high-quality education and our instructors are mostly kinda boring and unmotivated which really evaporates the spirit of innovation and interest in computers. Your this high-quality education is a blessing and I am proud that I am learning from an international institute. Keep this work going and bless us with knowledge.
I do not know a way to express my gratitude to making this whole series of lectures public. I am a very passionate student who are chasing my goal to be a video game engine programmer. In my country, there is almost no way to study such thing from a university. I am already a computer science student but in here, they are all focusing on web development over everything. But I want to dive deep among the low level layer of computing. So thank you so much sir.
I want to say thanks for putting this online, and even more thanks for annotating the sections in the description as well as in the video progress bar. It's so handy to skip around sections.
I love this! Feels like I am one of your students. I am already employed but I miss being a student again. Thank you for uploading this ❤❤❤ You are also a great teacher.
As an engineer that currenly does programming for Unreal projects, this course seems amazing to refresh concepts and build games without relying on propietary engines. Thanks!
Thank you very much for making your lectures available online! I am currently doing my first steps into game developing, and your playlist makes me feel sure that I definitely learn something new and important for this long and thorny way!
Hi Dave! I'm a 24yo professional programmer in the industry using Unity and I've been really facinated with game engine programming using C++ recently. I've been having a lot of challenges figuring it all out on my own, so you can only imagine my excitement when I discovered your courses here on youtube for free! Thank you so very much for sharing this course with the whole world, I am unbelievably excited to work through every single lecture and assignment. Seriously, can't thank you enough. Cheers!
I’m a kid in Highschool and I really appreciate this! I’ve been using game engines and recently wanted to get into what goes into one. This may help. Thanks!
Just found your videos and clicked out of curiosity. Now i just want to watch them all because the first one got me kind of addicted to your knowledge and your way to teach. Thank you for your videos, hoping to watch all of them!
This is really great. If you think about it, this is exactly how Unity and Unreal work - especially Unity, because you attach scripts (components) to a game object (entity). Unreal is a little different but about the same thing. I have really struggled with learning OOP C++ way of doing game development and the ECS approach is really clicking for me. Much appreciated!
I wish all professors were this cool lol. I am teaching myself C++ during summer break and game dev is one of my interests so this will be a great resource to polish my cpp and oop. Great work thanks for uploading this course!
Hi Dave, I happened across your course because of TH-cam's recommendations, and I'm excited to follow along with your lessons! I've always wanted a practical, high level run through of the major areas of game programming. I was wondering: will the coding projects you mentioned (Mega Mario, Not Zelda, etc.) be available for TH-cam viewers to complete? Thanks!
Thank you very much sir.. I have learned basic to Intermediate C++. Although I am currently doing OOPs in C++ I wanted to know about the gaming field on C++ and finally found this awesome content. Again Thanks you.
Possibly my first post ever on youtube. I took C++ classes over a decade ago. Every I.T. class offered at my local college in fact. I haven't watched all of these yet, but after all that I learned in the past I was only able to make games with 3ds max, and about 40 other programmers. After college I didn't have $1800 for 3ds max or know that many people anymore so it just sort of got pushed to the back burner, and I took a job in another area of I.T. Title peaked my interest though.
Hi Dave! I'm relatively new to CS (completed cs50x). Just a few questions: 1. Do you give the assignment instructions in lectures? Over on CS50, their assignments aren't discussed at all in their lectures. I want to be able to follow along on this course with the assignments. 2. When will you take these videos down? I know that you took last year's lectures down since you didn't want students to skip. It'll help me with scheduling stuff if I know that.
Thanks for posting this content, just found it through TH-cam recommendation. I guess I know the answers to the questions, but still want official confirmation, if it's possible. First is if we are doing everything from scratch why not use vulkan or opengl instead of SMFL? Also, if it's kinda easy to develop this further into 3D, how easy would it be from that to make something more "modern" like the gui programming, or all the stuff Unreal has for example the blueprints and stuff?
Hi! Will random guys like me be able to see what we have to do for each assignment? Not the assignment done or the code for it, but the assignment itself. Also, its awesome that you release this stuff publicly. Be prou!
Since the class is fundamentally designed as an asynchronous experience, would it be possible to petition the university to offer it as an Online-enrollable course as mentioned on the website without enrolling in a degree program? I watched some of your lectures in the last posting of this course and resolved myself to sign up for the course next time it was offered so that I could participate, but this course isn't listed under the University's Online offerings--it seems like only 1000 and 1001 are offered!
Going to watch all the lectures, it is a dream of mine to be able to do the things you claim, if there are any other resources that are required please let me know, I know you cannot share all the code though ;(. You are amazing for posting these!
Hi thanks for the videos, i apprecaite it immensly that you uploaded these. For a while i've been looking into c++ programming to make games with SFML or SDL and i really didn't know where to start considering i havn't touched c++ before and i have no clue how to organise or structure the code of such a project nicely(considering i'm on the low end of medium skill with programming). Even though course files will not be released, it's still great beats meandering through documentation by a ton. Just a quick question will the lectures be removed when the semester ends (some university policy perhaps)? or will they remain indefinitely up on the channel? Just wondering if i need to personally archive them.
Sir please I just found you on TH-cam. I am a student from Ghana. And my passion is for computer programming. I would like to register for tuition. Please I hope to get the chance to be one of your best students. Thank you!
Hey Dave, just stumbled upon this and plan to follow along throughout the semester. I'm currently a student at a community college in California studying mathematics. Have you published any games that I could check out to see some of your work? Thanks
So excited to delve in. Just for my liking. Easy entrance, core topics without needing any fancy show, basic but effective information. You give a wonderful vibe, so I can't wait to learn more about this course. I have many video game designs in my mind but I lack the knowledge like Unity, C# etc. I hope I can hang on to these lectures and understand the concepts. I definitely want to make a video game after all the lectures finished.
No bro, haven't finished the lessons yet. But I'm sure something will emerge from these videos. At least a basic 2D game. I leaned on a bit to learn C++ at the moment @@papcurry Have fun, I hope you accomplish your game making projects.
@@harshgupta5027 I don't think this course solely will get you into a job but it should open the way for creating a portfolio for yourself thus getting a junior position in gaming sector. This course is simple entrance door or basics of game programming but most topics are the fundamentals. So, if you wanna go into a career for game programming that you should take this course. Knowing the basics of C++ is a plus, you'll learn the concepts additionally.
the few assignments that i have looked at it does look like he goes through pretty much every file line by line so its possible (Again for the few that i looked at, maybe he could answer better himself) to pause the video and copy down source code in your own editor. (This will be the base file that all students are given and from there they have to edit the file to complete their assignment using the course teachings.
Hi sir, i am unity game developer, i wanted to upskill and learn c++ game development. but is it a good thing watch and learn this in 2024. or is better to learn OpenGL or DirectX graphics libraries.
Hello Mr. Dave, is it ok if I use these videos to create a game to publish? I've found these videos very helpful and want to try game development myself.
Hello, I remember a while ago you had another course which I started but I never finished, i have severe adhd and I'm all over the place, is there a way that I could purchase that course? I'm not sure which course it was but i remember it was this channel. I will try my best to complete this course because I really need to learn. I tend to lose motivation very fast and then I end up procrastinating, I want to become better at learning and get better at being organized, maybe I just need a big push and maybe then I can finally break out of the loop of starting something and then dropping it. Sorry for the mini rant, and thank you for this course, I will try my best to not drop this one.
@@DaveChurchill Yes I'm pretty sure that's the course that I'm remembering, "Intro to programming," I'm glad that this is the same one, thanks for replying and clearing it up!
I wanted to ask how you suggest your students use the textbooks linked early on in this video? Do you suggest they read them/try to study them upfront, or do you reference them in future lectures (check out chapter X), or what? Thanks.
Hi there! May I have access to the course you gave in the past under "COMP1510 - Programming in Fortran and C"? If any slides still avaiblabe, that may suffice ... Thank you.
Hello sir. Will I be able to make games like tictactoe,snake,arkanoid,sudoku,pong etc learning your course? Do I need to learn game engine for it? I am really confused.
You can use this engine for making those games, but it is not necessary. If you want to make simple games using sfml I recommend this video series: th-cam.com/video/zH_omFPqMO4/w-d-xo.html
oh hell, id have a high anxiety issues in that scenario, so you could expect a lot more mistakes...not a spotlight kind of person :D btw i just realised you have a 23 version, so i switched, and thanks alot for the videos, means a lot, and while youre here, do you know any good source on game porting? i might need that piece of knowledge in few years hahaha and also, Have a nice day :)@@DaveChurchill
