C++ and games 😅

Question

how can I start game development using c++?

is there a specific ide ??

Answer 1

unity is the best ide for game development 😊

Answer 2

try using SDL libraries.google it. or you can use unreal engine but it is master-level. if you really complete understanding c++, you can use "graphic.h" libraries but it's master-level too. in my opinion, c++ is hard to achive game design and implemention methods. hard to maintain your progress, hard to build it up bugless...I achived to build a simple game engine and game with c++ but i will never try to do it again. now i am using unity3d with c#.

Answer 3

dose it support c++??

Answer 4

No... it uses c# and Javascript. Unity is good for beginners but it enforces a special model after which the game needs to be designed. Another option would be unreal engine (3 or 4). Both work with c++.

Otherwise: depends what kind of game.
3d is very complex and includes a lot of math.

Answer 5

so what if I am planning to have a 2d game project from the scratch without using any engine

what's the requirements for that??

note : the project just to enhance my skills

Answer 6

Before you start it, I recommend you to read Game Engine Arcitechture - Jason Gregory

Answer 7

SFML might be one of the easiest.
I would look at it, it can do 2d pretty well and makes the whole thing faster than pure c++
