Beginner C++ Game Programming Series

The beginner series is meant to teach fundamental C++ programming concepts. It also covers some basic graphics programming theory. Also: making shitty little games. It is suitable even for those with zero programming experience. If this ain't your first rodeo, you can use this here wiki to jump through the lessons, skipping any B.S. you already know.

History

This series is a reboot of Chili's original beginner series launched back in 2012 (ah, the good old days). The way that Direct3D applications are built and the tools used have changed over the last 5 or so years, and the reboot updates the tutorials to reflect those changes. It also corrects some mistakes that were made, and is reworked to shorten the journey to hardware 3D graphics programming and to introduce object-oriented programming at an earlier stage.

2	Beginner C++ Game Programming [Variables/Operators]	August 5, 2016	18:49
This tutorial is all about making sweet ass boxes (variables) to jam your hot numbers into and using operators (addition and subtraction) to add and subtract shit.
3	Beginner C++ Game Programming [if Statement/bool]	August 9, 2016	26:11
We learn how to control the flow of execution using if statements, we learn about a new variable type called bool, and we learn how to use the Chili Framework to get keyboard input. All this, plus the dankest memes from 2007.
