Update

R&R vacation 🌴

I’m working on a second channel where I build a game with my own game engine and will post devlog/lifestyle videos.

This channel will continue and remain educational. Speaking of… any recommendations for my next video??

I will be back in May!

🎥CONTENT & CHANNEL UPDATE🎥

I'm running behind this week as I was not able to do much content-wise. I have not recorded Part 4 of the Pointer series yet. It may get delayed a week.

Sorry to those of you waiting for it, its been quite tough juggling work, school, life and this channel. I would love to do this full-time, but unfortunately I'm pretty far away from any monetization.

If you support this channel and would like to see it grow please make sure to LIKE videos as I post, COMMENT your thoughts or questions and SHARE if you can - of course subscribe if you have not. This support helps the channel grow, motivates me and would allow me to focus on it more.

I will give you an update on Part 4 of Pointers in the upcoming days as well as what is in store next.

Thanks for your support!

🎥CONTENT UPDATE🎥


This week, Part 3 of the Pointers Series goes live!

In this video, I go over 9 common pitfalls when dealing with Raw Pointers (not an exhausted list but common to beginners).

Next week will be the concluding part, Part 4, where I go over the concept of Smart Pointers, RAII and some implementation examples.

After this, nothing is set in stone yet. If you have any ideas or any topics you would like me to go over, please leave a comment below!

🎥CONTENT UPDATE & OTHER🎥

So..... I burnt out this week... pretty bad.. 🥴

What this means is my plan to release part 3 of the pointers series is being push back to sometime late next week (sorry). Health comes first! Please take care of yourselves - make sure to know your limits, eat good and exercise!

OTHER
In other news, I don't want this entire channel just to be about tutorials. I want to experiment with other things. Currently, I have a few projects I work on in my spare time including a programming language. With that said I may do some devlog-like videos and include a tiny bit of my lifestyle just to make this channel more human rather than just instructional. I may do coding reviews, challenges and other kinds of videos too. ALL CONTENT I release will always pertain to programming and programming with C/C++. Still working out ideas so bare with me. BUT don't worry, tutorials will continue!

With that all said, time to relax. Enjoy your weekend and stay healthy!

👍Thumbs up if you read til the end!

🎥CONTENT UPDATE🎥



This week we are switching it up and I will be taking a break from the Pointers Series to bring to you a fun tutorial on the "Rock Paper Scissors" game.

This will be a simple console app(I coded quickly) that will allow you to select how many rounds you will like to play, then be able to play against the computer - which will display colored ascii art. I felt this small break was necessary to shake things up a bit and have fun - I know the pointers series involved a lot of information.


DON'T WORRY! I already recorded part 3 of the Pointers series and it is set to release later this week or early next week (just have to edit it after I edit "Rock Paper Scissors".



Thumbs up if this sounds good!

📢 CONTENT UPDATE ..

Part Two of the Pointers Series goes live tomorrow! (at 3pm est)

Runtime length is around 50min and it is recommended that you first watch part one since I refer to concepts from that video. So if you haven't already, I attached that video in this post.

📢UPDATE

Part two of the pointer series will go live this week!

In this video, we code. I will go over implementing raw pointers for stack, heap, function and array.

If you haven’t, make sure to watch part one as I will refer to stack and heap and concepts covered in that video.

Let me know if you’re still with me on this series?
