This book is about learning C++ programming the fun way. Starting from zero experience, you will learn the basics of C++, such as variables and loops, through to advanced topics, such as inheritance and polymorphism. Everything you learn will be put into practice building three fully-playable games.
These are our three projects for the book.
The first game is an addictive, fast-paced clone of the hugely successful Timberman, http://store.steampowered.com/app/398710/. Our game, Timber!!!, will allow us to be introduced to all the C++ basics at the same time as building a genuinely playable game.
