Code-It-Yourself! Snake! - Programming from Scratch (Quick and Simple C++)

Even on my holidays I'm coding. Perhaps time to consider I have a problem? Anyway, this week I show you how to create a quick and simple game of Snake! using standard C++ and nothing else.

This channel is a small hidden gem and I'm surprised you don't have thousands of views, please keep up making videos, the format is so fresh, informative and well-paced.

I only understand about half the code but im making little notes while i watch.

I just get so motivated searching keywords, learn about them and try to use them in my own little programms while watching your videos.

Keep up the awesome work!

I made my own Snake game in C#, and I gotta say I’m proud of myself

The anger...the face... the food... As I'm watching, my neighbour is doing the same thing outside my window... The matrix of life. Another gem of a video. Thanks.

The best programming channel!
Kindly keep making videos and keep sharing knowledge.
Thank you

Just want to tell you how much i appreciate your channel. Im age 23 and only just started programming in my first year at teesside univeristy. And your channel offers so much that the university doesn't. Watching and rewatching your videos is pretty much essential for me to even comprehend whats where in programming. Id of been completey overwhelmed and would have given in a long time ago if it wasnt for you!

About to finish you channel marathon and suddenly, another great video here! Oh dear...

[loejewis]

This channel is incred. I only know basic code but I know these videos are going to be a valuable learning resource! Thank you!

Its interesting going back and watching this after watching your newer videos since there is no olcConsoleGameEngine it just shows how far this channel has come. Love this channel Ive watched all the videos despite being a Linux user :p I make similar console applications using my own C++ libraries built on NCurses. Keep up the videos they are quality

AWESOME SNAKE GAME JAVID! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL AND THE SOURCE CODE!

[jonny_]

As always...well stated and communicated. Thank you for your explanations and source code stepping. I enjoy your channel very much!

[RhoTrepaan]

awesome for people that wish to start with some coding (and like games) but want in not too comp-licated from the start, and with easy to understand starting points.
Well done! I'm diving into the other movies also.

[afzals]

Hi javid. I wish i could thank you more and i dont know how to thank you and also i wish that i can become a student of yours in person. Such a great man all these things you do for us, you are a genius

[vampiriclion]

sir, yesterday I did the Snake game from scratch, I started analyzing the game, deciding what variables it needs, splitting the problem in smaller "subproblems" and writing down the algorithm. Then I converted the algorithm in C++ and added stuff.
This required me hours and more than 200 lines of code. Today I see you solving this in 19 minutes 😲😲

[malysnyx]

I love this! This is such an awesome place to start I think for a new programmer. Getting past basic console tutorial stuff in C++ seems almost like magic and this video sort of lifted that veil a little for me. I added some logic with my newbie skills to make it a little more challenging :)

if (score > previousScore)
{
-= 5ms;
-= 5ms;
= score;
}

I can't fathom why your vids aren't raking in millions of views.

I love seeing these simple games and the expert commentary as you do it. Hoping for more some day, perhaps a Super Hang On "clone" in PGE2.0?

Hi friend;

First of all, thank you for all your videos and the availability of the sources that go with them.
It helps a lot with understanding.
I program in C and I gave myself as an exercise, to use your C++ sources as support, to rewrite the code in C.
The snake is a good candidate to start with. Why do this?
First things first:
1°) I am one of those who think that a well-designed language is a language that has an explicit syntax, like BASIC or PASCAL
2°) That this said language is able to produce as many bytes for a binary, as C would.

And now the answer to the question and to court:
Because I try to convince myself of the real used, to use the C++ language... Which I also know... a little.
And when I see the ton of bytes a C++ program produces for a binary!
As for the alleged simplicity of writing!

My Quest, my Grail, would be a language with a PASCAL-like syntax for a C-like binary.

I am French and I use Google Translate. So sorry!!!

and thank you again,

[mrbangkockney]

Love it. This, immediately followed by Bloody Flappy Bird, got me to sub! So much great content here, thanks for the time and effort. Next is to find the courage to join your Discord!

I dont know why but my command prompt size is not getting bigger ://
