Revision as of 20:04, 27 August 2016

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.

List of Tutorials

Tutorial Number Title Release Date Runtime
0 Beginner C++ Game Programming [Intro/Setup] July 30, 2016 16:03
This tutorial introduces the Beginner C++ Game Programming Series and walks you through the setup required to follow along with Chili. It also explains who the series is intended for, the goals and outline of the series, and tips on how to succeed, but you can skip all that bullshit if you have crippling ADD. For a detailed list of what is covered in Beginner, see this page.
1 Beginner C++ Game Programming [Function Calls/Syntax] August 1, 2016 17:35
This tutorial mainly deals with how to call a function in C++ and basic syntax rules. We also talk about pixels, intellisense and other dumb bullshit.
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.
4 Beginner C++ Game Programming [Animation/Member Variables] August 14, 2016 16:13
In this tutorial we explore the idea of animation in computer graphics and we make the reticle move freely around the screen. Along the way we learn about classes and objects, how to add member variables to objects/classes, about .h (header) and .cpp (source) files, and about the short harsh lives of local variables (scope).
5 Beginner C++ Game Programming [Comparison/Logical Operators] August 20, 2016 20:28
Comparison and Boolean logic operators. Operators galore! Make if statements great again! Let the int dick measuring contests begin! Also, collision detection between rectangles, which is useful for stuff.
6 Beginner C++ Game Programming [Creating Functions] August 27, 2016 19:14
How to make member functions. That is all.
