This course is for beginning programming students who are struggling with understanding how to solve programming problems. I’ll be showing you how I go about solving problems; how to break everything down into something easy to understand and easy to program. We’ll be using C++ as our programming language of choice. C++ is a very powerful and versatile language that is a very good language to start making games with. Everything presented in this course is real-world applicable skills and necessary information that I’ve used in my career helping make the biggest games in the world such as Minecraft and Halo Infinite. We’ll start off nice and easy as I go over core principles and pseudo code example to ease you into how to think about programming and solving problems. Then, we’ll go deep and try to understand how things really work on the computer at a low level. I’ll present to you my mental models that have been extremely effective in teaching students I’ve worked with grasp the fundamentals of computer programming. In addition, we’ll make several fun beginner game projects through step by step lessons as practice to solidify the techniques presented in the course. I’ll show you all my tips and tricks in order to solve the problems we come across.
