The Best Starter Game For C++

The Best Starter Game For C++

TIC TAC TOE


C++ comes with lots of great starter projects. A great example of this is a TicTacToe game. A Tic tac toe game is simple if you know anything to break it down. We need an array as the board, player input and random computer input to make the game. This must also include a win/lose condition and a tie function. 


This Tic Tac Toe game takes into consideration a beginner's level of C++ and the tutorial linked at the end explains what all the functions do and is worth listening to. Being able to understand the functions inside of this simple code is the first step to creating more games and programs. 


This is one of the first projects I created in this language. It covers lots of basics that are necessary to understand to expand your knowledge of the language. It's essential when learning a programming language to practice it. Creating this Tic Tac Toe game is great practice. The goal is to be able to code without tutorials or step-by-step guides. 


Looking at this first basic Tic Tac Toe we can see first it can easily be improved just by making it look prettier. Another thing to expand upon would be making the AI more complex and not completely changing. One of the best things you could expand upon in this Tic Tac Toe game is creating your own twist to make the game your own. An example of this could be making players able to use a turn to destroy their X or O. These are all very simple things that can make such a simple game a good game. This is the mindset required to make good games. 


To make these improvements possible there are lots of resources online to follow and being able to under these resources like old forums and YouTube videos is needed to be able to implement these changes. This is the problem solving of a programmer and it's important to get lots of practice. 


This is the link to my TicTacToe Github to be expanded upon with a better TicTacToe.

 Starting out as a Software Developer This is my experience with beginning my degree in software development. This has become such a journey and I'm here to tell you the tips and experiences I have discovered while studying software development. To begin I am studying my first year in a degree in Software Development - Game Design. This degree lasts for 3 years at a private school named Media Design School. The school has many great opportunities and has a great employment rate for graduates.  In my experience entering this new field, I have discovered many difficulties that others have also struggled with along the way. A trend of tips and tricks to tackle these common problems like learning to code and problem-solving. My first tip would be PRACTICE.  | Practice Code | This is the biggest tip I get told a lot and it's definitely the most helpful by far. The only way to get good at coding is to code. Wherever you go wherever you look there will always be people telling y...

The Reality of Starting to Code

 ||  The Reality of Starting to Code  || The reality of coding that no one talks about. Not enough people talk about the reality of learning how to code. Some may say that coding is just learning another language or just telling the computer what to do. This is intended for people who program and want to relate and people who are interested in learning more about the life of programming.  First starting out fresh in school I thought I would be struggling the most with learning the languages like C++ and Python. This is still true as I'm always learning more of the language however I feel like most of my time is done with debugging. I feel like not enough people talk about debugging and how it's the worst thing going through your code and finding out it's not working from a missing { or different named variables. The reality of coding is wasting hours of your time looking through your code wondering why it's not working, and searching the web with error codes only to ...
