| Abstract
|
:
|
Many languages are available for game development, but C++ 17 remains a fixture in the games industry. The main reasons for this are its performance, cross-platform compatibility and widespread availability across toolchains. The primary goal of the book is to teach you to create high quality video games using C++ 17 game programming.
