GAME PROGRAMMING WK.3

This week we learned how to use Classes and began programing in an object oriented way, but we only scratched the surface of OOP(object oriented programing). Classes are another type of data structures that group data, classes has variables and functions, they are called member functions or methods and member variables.
That’s all for today, I will try to make Tic Tac Toe in SDL and publish some of the progress here so stay tuned!

Game programming wk.2

I thought that week one was intensive until we started week two. In five days we managed to learn functions, pointers and then jump straight in SDL() and make Pong.
While doing that we got to learn a new data structure called struct, struct is a group of data elements, these elements called members. Using struct increased efficiency when creating similar instances of a class or a struct.

struct Paddle

{

float x,y; //The X and Y coordinates of the paddle

//An array that has […]

Game programming wk.1

We started learning programming  this week, how exciting is that!?! I have been waiting for this since I started this education. Thankfully I have experience when it come to programing, I studied C++, C# and Java.
Even though, this week covered the very basics to learn programming C++, i have learned a lot. It seems to me that the course is moving at a remarkable speed, it won’t be long until we face the advanced stuff that will make our heads […]

Dragons and oscilloscopes

Hello again..
I have realized something during the past four weeks, I forgot to blog. While it’s not my favorite thing, I will try my best to post as frequently as possible.
For the next five weeks I’ll be working on a project with five people on designing a space shooter. In my opinion, it should be the best part of the course.   Two words were given to us to determine the theme and we got dragons and oscilloscopes. Yes, this is […]
