Your raylib series’s are probably the very best I’ve seen when it comes to teaching OOP. Video games are the best way to teach OOP IMO and the way you code is very clean and elegant. There’s so much More I could say in your praise but no likes to read long comments. Liked + Subscribed from me.

I've been following all your tutorials for cpp raylib starting from pong. Thank you for the clear explanation and guidance that even me without any prior knowledge about programming can proudly say I now know a little bit about cpp and raylib. It's still a long journey to game dev but I'm glad I stumbled on your channel to make the beginning easy and fun for me. Much love! Hoping to look forward to more cpp tutorials.

THANKS YOU! This video and the others about OPP C++ programming with raylib are the best i've ever seen until now. they have helped my brother and I to understand how to manage the library and de OPP paradigm by an enjoying way.

[devbites]

Fantastically fun and interesting tutorial. A great way to learn Object-oriented Programming IMHO. Also, one that can be easily configured and extended because it is so well structured. I think I'll try to add some animations though.

[donlinoleum]

[manolisand]

Great video, it would be nice if you also added the raygui library to a template and making a more "complete" game. Keep up the good work

This is awesome. Which theme are you using in Visual Studio? Mine looks awful compared to yours 😃

[mateosoriortes]

Awesome tutorial! I love it! But now I have a question, How or where do we get the executable we just build?
