Beginner's Guide to Game Programming Ep1 Part 1 Introduction

The Beginner's Guide to Game Programming:
A Problem Solving Approach
Episode 1: Makin' Pickin' Sticks
Part 1: Introduction

This is a written and video tutorial created to teach the basics of Allegro and SDL as well as game programming in general, while encouraging the newbie to code it out themselves.

This video introduces what the tutorial is about, what we're making, and a brief summary of how to download the IDEs and libraries.

Wait so if it's hard to Make games like this, how did they call of duty?

[LusikkaMage]

@infodim1 I said hard, not impossible. Also, people making Call of Duty are working in large teams, as are most AAA titles. A lot of AAA games are using premade engines, like the Unreal engine, so there is somewhat less low-level programming involved.

@4tehlulzcouk What? ಠ_ಠ

[Crimsonyte21]

Are you a girl? Wow! I've never met a female programmer! (Not being sexist......Honest Truth)

[LusikkaMage]

@Crimsonyte21 Yes, I am a woman. If you're still in High School that's probably why you haven't seen any before; we're few and far-between, but there are some in college and a decent amount where I work at.

wait, if you cant afourd internet how u upload vid?

[LusikkaMage]

@thesmartdjmarsh And that's a bad thing? I'm here to teach people who actually want to learn. If you want to make games quickly and easily, you can do that without programming.

I laughed so hard when the gimp head thingy on ur character

Will be testing this out :)

[VideoGameExplorers]

I'm surprised you're aware of Chrono Resurrection, barely anyone knows about it.

[Crimsonyte21]

@LusikkaMage That's awesome! And btw, you're a really good teacher ! Keep it up! And yes, I am a high schooler!
