PardCode/CPP-3D-Game-Tutorial-Series

C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series is a tutorial series designed to help developers of all levels—from novice to expert—take their first steps into game development from scratch using C++. This series will teach you how to create a 3D game sample, starting with creating a window using the Win32 API and progressing to building a game engine that enables the development of a functional 3D game. Specifically, the series covers the development of:

• DX3D Game Engine (composed by the following sub-systems)
  • DirectX 11 3D Graphics Engine
  • Win32 Windowing System
  • Input System
  • Entity-Component System
• Game Sample

The aim of this series is to provide developers with the foundational knowledge needed to have full control over game development, starting from low-level systems (such as the Graphics Engine, Input Manager, Entity System etc.) all the way to high-level concepts (e.g. Entities).

This repository contains:

• The master branch, which contains the source code of the entire project developed in the tutorial series.
• The DX3D folder, which contains both the public API and the source code of the DX3D engine, that will be implemented and used to create the game sample.
• The Game folder, which contains the source code of the game sample itself.

It is possible to access the source code of each tutorial by checking the Tags list.

Additionally, the repository includes branches such as AssetsAndLibs, which are related to the previous version of the C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series.
