C++ Learning & Rendering Journey

A personal repository documenting my journey from basic to advanced C++, including data structures, algorithms, system-level concepts. This repo is both a learning hub and a playground where I experiment, implement, and explore C++ deeply.

🧭 Overview

This project contains:

• Fundamental C++ concepts
• Intermediate & advanced C++ features
• Hands-on exercises
• Mini-projects
• Rendering experiments (future work)
• Notes, references, and best practices
• A clean and organized folder structure for easy navigation

📁 Project Structure

Any project in this repo is based on this folder structure and by default has a VSCode task for compiling with Cl

├── src/                → All .cpp source files
│   ├── core/
│   ├── systems/
│   ├── utils/
│   └── main.cpp
│
├── include/            → All .h / .hpp header files (public)
│   └── ProjectName/
│       ├── core/
│       ├── systems/
│       └── utils/
│
├── libs/               → Third-party static libraries (.lib, .a)
│
├── external/           → Third-party source (e.g., glm, SDL, imgui)
│
├── assets/             → (Optional) for game dev: audio, textures, models
│
├── build/              → Build output (not committed to git)
│
├── tests/              → Unit tests
│
├── cmake/              → CMake scripts (if you use CMake)
│
├── docs/               → Documentation
│
└── CMakeLists.txt      → Build configuration (if using CMake)

(You can adjust the structure to match your actual folders.)

🚀 How to Build

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/AliJimpa/Cpp_StudyProject.git
cd Cpp_StudyProject

Build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
./bin/anyexecutable

📚 Learning Goals

• Master modern C++ (memory, templates, STL, etc.)
• Understand low-level system behavior
• Build strong problem-solving & algorithmic thinking
• Prepare for graphics, engine, and rendering development
• Implement my own rendering pipeline from scratch
