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 created a score system for the game, and drew the numbers using our software renderer. We also create and improve an AI for the enemy, discussing some important points of artificial intelligence for games. This makes the end of the gameplay for the game! Next time, we'll add a menu system and polish the game, preparing it for the release!
