Overview
Syllabus

Course description

The Windows Game Development using C++ course is designed to teach students how to create games using the C++ programming language and the Microsoft DirectX framework on the Windows platform. The course covers various topics such as game engines, game design patterns, game asset creation, game physics, artificial intelligence, networking, and multiplayer game development.

Throughout the course, students will learn how to use Microsoft Visual Studio as an integrated development environment (IDE) to create game projects, how to work with game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity, and how to use libraries such as SDL and Box2D. Additionally, the course covers how to implement gameplay mechanics, game mechanics, and user interfaces, as well as how to optimize game performance and create cross-platform games.

By the end of the course, students will have gained a solid understanding of the C++ programming language, the Microsoft DirectX framework, and the game development process, and will be able to create their own Windows games using C++.
