Who is this article for?
In order to get the most out of this article, you should be familiar with the C++ programming language, and have written and successfully compiled a few programs (or games) on your own.
What will I learn?
If I do my job right, you should learn how to develop a Snake clone game. We are going to talk about the basics first, that is, getting something on the screen. Then we will cover gathering input from the player and making things move. Next we will go through the architecture of the game, and finally we will take each step one by one and by the end you should have a solid understanding of how to sit down and write your very own Snake game from scratch.
What do I need?
I will be using a Windows machine, however you may use a Linux or a Mac computer because we are using a cross-platform library so that our game can target as many platforms as possible without changing the code. That said, here is a list of things to bring with you.
- C++ compiler (I will be using the Mingw C++ compiler provided with the Code::Blocks IDE)
- SDL version 1.2.15 which may be obtained here.
- Pen and Paper (or the digital equivalent) for taking notes.
