Pointers (of course)

• Low Level Learning - you will never ask about pointers again after watching this video
• Low Level Learning - you will never ask about pointer arithmetic after watching this video
• Low Level Learning - so... what even is a "reference"?

Advices

• Low Lever Learning - the TRUTH about C++ (is it worth your time?)
  • Learn C first
    • Don't learn C++ first (if it's your first language). Learn the fundamentals of memory management and control flow in C first. Then simplify your code with upgrades from the abstractions that the C++ language provides.
  • Don't use C++ features just because they exist
    • Use them because they solve a problem you have.
  • Learn a type safe language like Rust.

  This is a course for students interested in learning the fundamentals of game programming and game engine architecture. Topics include an introduction to: vector math for games, rendering, animation, and artificial intelligence, collision detection, game physics, and user-interfaces. Students will be writing fully functional games using an ECS (Entities, Components, Systems) architecture, using the C++ programming language and the SFML graphics library.
