[C++ Tutorial #9] While Loops, Input, Game Loop

In this video we build a very simple game loop using while loops and std::cin etc.
I decided not to clear the console (or get key presses) because I didn't feel like using old libraries. You can if you want to (try googling).
For your homework, try creating your own game loop using everything you've learned so far.

(8:57) This is a simplified example (plus I haven't talked about "small strings yet), so usually you wouldn't let users allocate giant heap memory so easily. We'll get deeper into strings later on.
