Using ChatGPT to Learn C++ | Project Based Learning 1.1

"Creating a Checkers Game with C++: The First Step!" 🎮✨

🔍 In this video, we're diving into the world of C++ programming to start building a fully functional checkers game! Using ChatGPT as a coding companion, we're going on the journey from creating a basic checkerboard to understanding how C++ works—perfect for beginners and seasoned developers curious about the process.

📌 What You'll Learn in This Video:

C++ Basics Through a Fun Project: Learn how to set up a checkers board in C++ from scratch, even if you're new to the language.
Collaborating with AI: See how tools like ChatGPT can supercharge your learning by providing guidance, explanations, and even debugging help.
Understanding Core Concepts: We explore:
Setting up a 2D array to represent the board.
Using nested loops to populate and display the game grid.
Decoding C++ syntax, like void, std::cout, and endl.
The Power of Iteration: Discover how each step builds toward a playable game, with AI-generated variations keeping things fresh.

🛠️ The Coding Process:

From installing dependencies to running the first successful board display, we cover:
Setting up a new project in Visual Studio.
Writing code to initialize and display the board with red (R) and black (B) pieces.
Debugging and learning the "why" behind each line of code.
