Description
Learn C++ for Game Development (2025 Edition) is a comprehensive beginner-to-advanced course designed to teach you the fundamentals of C++ programming specifically for game development. Unlike many tutorials that rush through C++ or assume prior knowledge, this course starts from the ground up — making it ideal for complete beginners.
Instructor Stephen Ulibarri walks you through every core C++ concept in a structured, hands-on approach combining both theory and practical lab exercises. You’ll gain confidence in writing efficient, organized code while understanding how C++ powers modern game engines like Unreal Engine, CryEngine, and Amazon Lumberyard.
Although Unreal Engine isn’t directly used in this course, everything you learn is directly applicable to developing real-world video games. By the end, you’ll have mastered the building blocks of C++ and be ready to step into advanced game programming or engine-specific development with a solid foundation.
